CAROL (22), LAWTON, OKLAHOMA. ‘Spoiler alert: Jesus wins,’ a roadside sign reads. I don’t know what exactly Jesus would define as winning, because I haven’t seen much I would consider prize-winning over the past few days. We are driving through the small town of Lawton, Oklahoma. It’s seven in the evening. The sun is low, but it’s still well over 40 degrees Celsius. The streets are empty except for a few cars. Hardly anyone is out here for fun. There is no need to be because there is a drive-through for everything: besides ordering food and drinks, you can also withdraw cash, pick up medication, buy cigarettes, weed, or alcohol, get a new tire, or even an oil change, all from the comfort of your air-conditioned — or not — car. Since most people stay in, it is all the more noticeable when someone is out. In the corner of my eye, I see a young girl with a white flapping dress on a little blue bike. I am not reducing anything to patronize, the bike is small. The only thing that is not small is the huge Slurpee cup in her wicker basket on the front of her bike. Her eyes are squinting from the sun that’s still bright; her short, unkempt hair standing upright and sweetly blowing in the almost imperceptible wind. Her name is Carol. She is 22, and she has been living on the streets for four years now. On her collarbone the words ‘awaking my soul from darkness’ are written. They refer to her late father who passed away when she was only two. He was 27 years old. The grief is still immense. Very softly she says: “I just miss my dad.” Carol really wants to get a job, but Lawton is a military and university town. That means the jobs go to those that study or that are affiliated with the military. There is no one to look after her, no one to comfort her, no one to really see or help her. “It’s hard to find help in this country.” The only places Carol can get food are the Salvation Army or the church. If this is what Jesus would mean by winning, he has won. After I take her photo, she cycles off. She bravely defies the bright sun. Her shadow makes her bigger than anyone else; she just doesn’t know it herself. @de_volkskrant @mvrossem

Dad, 2022. #fotomuseumdenhaag #parents “This summer, the Fotomuseum Den Haag is bringing together work by more than thirty artist-photographers who have portrayed their own father and mother in an impressive way under the title ‘Parents’. The selection shows that the parent-child relationship is universal and at the same time extremely personal and intimate. Through their work, the artist-photographers provide an insight into the relationship with their parents, from loving and tender to aloof or sometimes disturbed. The exhibition also shows the diverse ways in which the makers work. While Corbino opts for a carefully posed black-and-white portrait of his naked father, Deanna Dikeman photographs her mother and father waving in front of the family home for over twenty-five years. The work of more than thirty artist-photographers, including Jan Banning, Nina Berman, Melanie Bonajo, Diana Blok, Corbino, Deanna Dikeman, Eddo Hartmann, Pieter Hugo, Erik Kessels, Erwin Olaf, Robin de Puy and Paddy Summerfield.” @fotomuseumdenhaag @wimvansinderen
New series for the Dutch newspaper de Volkskrant -> De Amerikanen (The Americans). Every two weeks I’ll share a new American with you all! ❤️ ——– Nick and Zorka, Raton, New Mexico. Pretty Close To A Million. I spot an old, blue Dodge pickup truck under a blue, sun-scorched neon sign that says, ‘The Maverick Motel.’ In the empty lot, a lady — in a blue shirt — sits under a canopy. My photography heart leaps at the perfect confluence of all that blue. “Can I maybe take your picture?” I ask her. “Yes, of course,” she replies with a distinct voice in a dialect still unfamiliar to me. In the distance, I notice a man stepping out — also dressed in blue. It turns out to be her husband Nick. Nick starts talking from afar, and from that point on my toes barely touch the ground. I float in a blue bubble carried by Nick’s sentences. Virtually all of them sound like iconic anecdotes ending with an exclamation point, supported by affirming — or dissenting — sounds from his wife. The dialect turns out to be from the former Yugoslavia. ——– See/read more on volkskrant.nl.

A little sooner than expected, episode 2: JAMARIO EN DAMAJ, CLARKSDALE, MISSISSIPPI. In 1930 -downtown Clarksdale, at the crossing of Highway 61 and 49- Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil, in exchange for the art of playing the guitar. For a moment I fear Robert did not only sell his own soul but that of the town as well. We cruise the empty streets, looking for someone that can play the promised blues for us. Because of our slow tempo and me staring out the car window, people immediately take us for police. Believe me, that is not a good look here. Kind of mopish we try to wash the day away in the hairy pool at the motel. At night the town still feels quiet, but light seeping through the cracks of wooden walls of abandoned looking buildings promises otherwise. Finally we discover the blues, hidden under a plastic ceiling. A toothless singer, unintelligible when he speaks but not when he sings, welcomes us- his only audience. He treats us to a private concert and for a while we don’t feel like going anywhere. The next morning, looking for coffee and intriguing faces, we pass a tire shop. Jamario (20) and Damaj (17) sit under a canopy waiting for their first client. Damaj is the owner, born in Jemen and brought to America by his beloved dad. This boy can have anything he wants, as long as he stays in school. But Damaj has other plans- he wants to work. His dream? To own a nationwide chain of 500 tire shops, within ten years. ‘Like Starbucks or McDonalds.’ ‘What about you, Jamario? What is your dream?’ I ask. ‘Tomorrow I’m turning 21 and I will register myself to the Police Academy. And I will become a father in a month.’ I ask Jamario a bunch of questions, searching for affirmation of my prejudiced views on his life, but he soothes my doubts. Dreams are big here, but seldom misplaced- as long as you see them through the eyes of The American. And remember: If you can’t make it on your own, you can always sell your soul. Without it- you can go very far. Just look at Robert. @de_volkskrant @robprochnow @recsound_amsterdam @mvrossem
