"What So Proudly We Hail"

]]>What does the American flag mean? When it was adopted as the national symbol in 1777, the flag signified patriotism for the United States. It has since been associated with other activities including military service, freedom of speech, artistic expression, and advertising. It has been the subject of protests and Supreme Court decisions. When we see the flag displayed in a government office, the meaning is clear, but what is communicated by wearing American flag underwear or when the flag appears on a bag of potatoes? Does the flag take on an additional meaning when it is used as the basis for a work of art, or does it cease to have any meaning at all? In this project I have examined some of the ways in which the American flag has been appropriated for purposes that are often far different than were intended 240 years ago in an attempt to question whether these new meanings are as legitimate or perhaps more legitimate than the original, patriotic meaning.

Covid Portraits

jim@pojman.com (Jim Pojman Fine Photography) — Tue, 26 Mar 2024 16:08:43 GMT

]]>The coronavirus first appeared in Wuhan, China in December 2019. Within one month it had become a global health emergency and had quickly spread throughout the world. The United States reported its first death in February 2020; by March the U.S. was leading the world in the number of cases. From that point, the coronavirus pandemic began to affect nearly everyone’s life. Due to denial of the scientific evidence by many government leaders from the president on down, poor planning by federal and state officials, and an unwillingness to commit the necessary resources to address the problem, more than 26 million Americans had been infected and over 450,000 had died by February 2021. Although America has only 4% of the world’s population, it has had 20% of the deaths.

Meanwhile, Covid-19 added new words and phrases to the lexicon: social distancing, shelter-in-place, hybrid classrooms, community spread, asymptomatic, droplet and aerosol transmission, super-spreader event, flattening the curve, N95 mask, quarantine, working from home, Zoom meeting, PPE, and ventilator are some examples.

Wearing masks became the standard, best protection both for the wearer and for those around them while we all waited for the development and administration of vaccines which were finally approved in December 2020. For some, the mask was a reminder that acute illness or even death was ever-present. For others, refusing to wear a mask reflected their denial of the seriousness of the pandemic. Some used their masks to make political or fashion statements.

For the past 11 months I have photographed people in their masks at work, play, in their homes, offices, or on the street. With these portraits it is my intention to document some of the ways in which we all tried to continue with our lives in the face of this 100-year plague.
