NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

The minute I saw this lovely outdoor cafe in Silverton, Colorado, I knew I wanted to photograph it in an abstract, painterly way.

This week in 1988: 1,000+ ACT UP demonstrators shut down the FDA headquarters, demanding (and eventually winning) action on developing HIV/AIDS treatments. ACT UP's militant and creative actions always included powerful visual artwork, and paved the way for movements in the decades to come.

A photograph from the 1988 ACT UP demonstration outside the FDA. Many people are participating in a die-in on the front steps, holding mock tombstones with messages like "RIP - killed by the FDA" and "Dead from lack of drugs." A line of police officers (some with classic 80s mustaches) wearing riot helmets stands between them and the building; one cop wearing white gloves is walking through the demonstrators. Affixed to the 2nd story windows of the building is a series of posters and a large blank banner reading Silence = Death.

Kenojuak Ashevak created works of art through sculpture, painting, engravings and stained glass. A leading figure of modern Inuit art, she became cultural icon and her work has been used on stamps, coins and even our currency.
This is the story of an amazing artist.

The photo depicts an elderly person sitting at a table. They are wearing a floral-patterned shirt with shades of green, yellow, and pink, along with a light grey quilted vest. Their hands are clasped together on the table, and a pair of glasses rests in front of them.
