Fotos retratam presos e os conselhos que dariam ao seu “eu” mais jovem

Há um ano, um amigo de infância do fotógrafo Trent Bell foi sentenciado com 36 anos de cadeia. Encarando a realidade de ter alguém próximo na cadeia pelo resto da vida, Bell passou a pesquisar e documentar uma série de eventos e histórias sobre presidiários e o que havia acontecido com eles para estarem ali.

As cartas foram digitalizadas e, como resultado final, aparecem hibridizadas aos retratos tirados, com letras à mão e carregadas de sentimentos.

A obsessão pela vida na cadeia o levou para o projeto “Reflect”.

A princípio criado como uma série de retratos documentais, Bell decidiu que seguir desta forma crua tiraria grande parte da verdadeira emoção que, de fato, importava.

Por fim, o projeto chegou ao formato ideal: uma colaboração entre o fotógrafo e os presidiários.

Assim, junto com o retrato tirado, os presos também escreveram uma carta ao seu “eu” mais jovem, pensando naquilo que falariam, nos conselhos, nas escolhas e talvez em algo que pudessem mudar se voltassem ao passado – como o destino e a fatídica prisão.

Com letras à mão e palavras carregadas de sentimentos, a série é de uma emoção arrebatadora que consegue transparecer toda uma vida atrás das grades.

Dick’s Taps Amateurs to Make Case That ‘Sports Matter’


Too often campaigns meant to raise money for a good cause fall on deaf ears. Not because the message isn’t worthy, but because it’s not engaging. That’s not the case with Dick’s Sporting Goods new effort, “Sports Matter.”

The campaign is meant to raise awareness of the “Sports Matter” program, which will award up to $2 million in grants to disbanded or financially challenged youth sports teams. An estimated $3.5 billion was cut from school sports budgets between 2009 and 2011. And one study predicts that by 2020, 27% of U.S. public schools will not offer sports programs, explained Ms. Hobart, who has three kids of her own involved in youth sports.

Dick’s expects it will fund between 75 and 100 teams — but there’s a catch. The teams must raise half the money they need themselves, with marketing, public relations and counseling support from Dick’s, which will then match the other half. “We think America does care and wants to mobilize behind this issue,” Ms. Hobart said. “But it’s also very important to us that these teams learn to fundraise…so they can fund their team for years to come.”

Samsung’s New Mobile Marketing VP Arrived the Day After Ellen’s Selfie


Samsung Mobile USA has named former Procter & Gamble Co. beauty executive Vince Hudson as its new VP-marketing and operations, taking him from beauty care to tech and from Ellen DeGeneres to, well, Ellen DeGeneres.

Samsung declined to make Mr. Hudson available for interview but he has a long history with some of P&G’s biggest and most interesting innovations over the years. Here are five things to know about Mr. Hudson:

He arrived at Samsung on Monday, the day after Ms. DeGeneres’ Twitter-breaking selfie using a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 during ABC’s Academy Awards broadcast. He already had a long history with Ms. DeGeneres as marketing director on the CoverGirl business when P&G first brought her in to pitch that brand in 2008. When asked whether he had a hand the Oscars selfie, a Samsung spokeswoman said, “Vince just started on Monday, so he didn’t have any direct involvement in the Oscars.”

U.K. Retailers Hatch Incubators to Boost Tech Innovation


U.K. retailer John Lewis, best known for its cosy Christmas commercials and royal connections, is launching an incubator, called JLAB, to drive technological innovation by tapping into the London start-up community.

As it gears up to celebrate its 150th birthday, John Lewis is looking for five start-up companies to work with JLAB between June and September this year in search of a retail breakthrough. A John Lewis spokesman said, “We are absolutely in this for the long run and we hope this year’s success leads onto more opportunities for JLAB.”

The winning start-up will receive an investment of $83,000 from John Lewis, matched by another $83,000 from technology entrepreneur Stuart Marks. And just as valuable: the opportunity to try out the idea in John Lewis stores, with the possibility of a rollout across all 40 branches.
