Revolution Revisited is a project by 1987 Pulitzer Prize winner photographer Kim Komenich, now a professor at San Jose State University. In 2011, Komenich began relocating the subjects from his spot news winning essay from the People’s Power Revolution which overthrew Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos and put Corazon Aquino in power.

The website features then and now image pairs, a longer essay about the revolution, interviews with the photographer, video stories and a database of over 500 outtakes from his coverage, which Komenich hopes will help to relocate more subjects from his coverage in the mid-1980s.

The site was produced by a class of multimedia graduate students in the University of Miami’s School of Communication.

In the summer of 1964, San Francisco was ground zero for a historic culture clash as the site of both the 28th Republican National Convention (the “Goldwater Convention”) and the launch of the Beatles’ first North American tour. The young photographer Arthur Tress arrived at this opportune moment in the city’s history and found himself in the midst of large-scale civil rights demonstrations and chaotic political pageantry. With a unique sensibility perfectly attuned to this quirky metropolis, he set about to capture the odd spectacle of San Francisco.

Photographer Bieke Depoorter has been traveling around Russia and the United States asking random people on the street if she can sleep at their homes on and off for the past three years.

The result is a series of eerily intimate photos that capture the inside lives of people and families throughout these two countries.
