...amazed at the paucity of coverage on the bushfires in Victoria. This was Australia's greatest peacetime disaster - an experience of absolute horror on a massive scale - and you gave it one page, of which only half was text.

Text and image hang side by side like open pages of a book, imbuing the silent figures with history. Meet “Mistress Victoria Chi,” a dominatrix who leaves her S&M dungeon after she falls for a client mid-whip. She shies from the camera, her black hair brushed over one eye. By her side, “Violette Nozieres” stares wistfully at the ground. Her head...
