Photo by Christian Brecheis. Brecheis writes:

“This photo was the result of one opportunity that came along while shooting some golf for my book. In order not to disturb anyone’s game we were allowed to go on the course right after a rain shower. That’s why the bunker is still not in the best shape and halfway filled with water. The scene fit well for the light set up we were using (one Profoto Acute set to full power). It wasn’t planed ahead like the other photos that day, but it was an opportunity we had to use.”

Here are 14 photographs from Benjamin Lowy‘s ongoing Iraq | Perspectives project which he began in 2005. Shot from the confines of a Humvee, Lowy creates a tableau vivant of life in Iraq offering a glimpse into the bleakness and desolation of a country ravaged by war.

Photo by Matthew Hanlon. “This was taken during a demo of the Metal Mulisha team riders [freestyle motocross] in the parking lot of a mall in Wayne, New Jersey. It was great to see people walking out to their cars and looking up to see these bikes 50 feet in the air. I knew the riders would be doing a range of tricks and I caught a bit of the action. This particular one is a variation of the classic ‘super-man-seat-grab.’ “

Hanlon used a Canon 1d Mark II and a fast shutter speed. He did some post production in Photoshop on the color balance.

Photo by Imre Kinszky. This 1929 photograph shows Király Street, a main thoroughfare in one of Budapest’s biggest Jewish neighborhoods. Kinszky, a Modernist Hungarian photographer, disappeared during the Holocaust.

This image is part of “How They Lived: The Daily Life of Hungarian Jews in Photographs, 1867-1940,” a special photography exhibition now open at the the 92nd Street Y in New York. The photographs provide rare insights into the everyday lives of Hungarian Jews before World War II. One tenth of Holocaust victims were Hungarian Jews—a total of 550,000 people.

Curated by András Koerner, the show is on display through July 2. More information.

The exhibition is presented in conjunction with Extremely Hungary, a yearlong festival of Hungarian arts and culture in New York and Washington, D.C.
