Some landscapes by Sheron Rupp. Rupp in conversation with photographer Susan Worsham:

What matters tremendously, to me, is photographing people on their own turf, literally their place on this earth. In rural areas, even in suburbia, people are attached to their places- stuff in the yard, gardens, gadgets, kids, anything unique to them. I’ve now realized that some of the most successful images have some important attachment, connection to earth, the ground. My “heart” really lies in photographs of landscape, perhaps for the above reason. Always, before venturing out on a photo journey, I would start unconsciously photographing landscapes, usually in the spring. I love formally putting pieces of the earth, nature together to make a photograph.  Although my photographs of people are more complex, I cannot say that I really loved every minute of photographing kids, families, people. That was hard, challenging work; it was interaction; I needed eyes at the back of my head at times. But landscapes? Ah, I am on my own, and I love the natural world.

Jacob A. Riis (May 3, 1849 - 1914) was a Danish writer, social reformer and photographer, famous for his spotlight on conditions in city ghettos in the US at the end of the 19th century. Riis was born in Ribe, but emigrated to the US at age 21, and spent many years struggling to hold down jobs and earn a living. He, in other words, had first-hand experience with poverty and immigrant communities…

Riis eventually became a reporter in New York and began the work he is remembered for today: A type of muckraking journalism, eventually published in book form as How the Other Half Lives (1890). He included a few photos in there, but used mostly woodcuts as illustrations. In his second book, Children of the Poor (1892) the photos were more plentiful and also more posed.

Riis lectured extensively about children’s conditions in big cities, and eventually caught the attention of Theodore Roosevelt who enlisted Riis’ help in cleaning up some of the corruption and mismanagement of New York’s police force and other public functions.

Riis has become considered a great photographer after his death, esp. after Alexander Alland reprinted and republished the original plates in the 1940s, and museums in the US and Denmark regularly exhibit his pictures - for instance the City Museum of New York and the Jacob A Riis Museum in his original hometown, Ribe, Denmark…
