On the New York Times Lens blog, Getty photographer John Moore writes of his recent trips to Mexico and Arizona. In the former, he photographed recent deportees at the San Juan Bosco Shelter in Nogales. On the other side of the border, he photographed immigrants whose journeys to the U.S. ended at the Maricopa County Tent City jail in Phoenix. He writes:
The immigrants who allowed me to photograph them shared stories of a hard life. Most had come to the United States to provide for their families. But even with the challenges of crossing through the desert, being caught by immigration authorities and serving time in detention, most of the immigrants told me the same thing. They will try to come back.

The Women of Mexico’s Drug War
U.S. photographer Katie Orlinsky moved to Mexico in 2006, just after graduating from college. The drug war surrounded her, and she quickly realized that women — not just men — were serving as its weary warriors, ferrying contraband and kidnapping kingpins. Between 2007 and 2011, the number of women incarcerated for federal crimes rose 400 percent. Orlinsky began to wonder: Who are these women? Innocent victims of a broken system? Cold-hearted criminals? Both?
In 2010, she entered the female prison in Ciudad Juárez and began photographing the convicted women inside.

Katie Orlinksy, a featured photographer for Reportage by Getty Images, will be speaking at the Alexia Foundation’s “Stories That Drive Change” event at 25 CPW Gallery in New York on Wednesday, Jan. 23, from 6 to 9 PM. Last year, Katie was awarded first place in the Alexia Foundation Student Awards, which supported her continued work on “Innocence Assassinated,” a photoessay on people whose lives have been affected by the Mexican drug war. Photographs from that series will also be on display on Wednesday night. Another of Alexia Foundation’s grant recipients, Justin Maxon, will also speak and present his work.
WHAT: Alexia Foundation “Stories that Drive Change” Gallery Event
WHEN: January 23rd, 2013 – 6:00PM to 9:00PM
WHERE: 25CPW Gallery at 25 Central Park West (at 62nd Street), New York, NY 10023.
‘We didn’t think that the musicians in the band would lead us to spending time with narco traffickers. But the band grew and their connections in that world grew. When you see the songs at first, it feels like fun and games, just in a really bizarre way. But as you understand how much traffickers want these, how much vanity goes into this, and they hire these people to do these songs – you start to understand that there’s a very special position that that singer is in.’
Narco Cultura, the new documentary film by Shaul Schwarz, chronicles the music and culture surrounding Mexican cartel violence. The film premiers at Sundance this month.
‘We wish Shaul good luck and many congratulations on this outstanding documentary. It is wonderful to see such a talented photojournalist transition so well into documentary, and to have this accepted at Sundance is quite simply stunning.’

Ten-year-old Jeffrey Isidoro moved from the United States to Mexico when his father was deported. This video by Shaul Schwarz and Bryan Chang for The New York Times explores his adjustment to a new country, language, and life.

Shaul Schwarz’s Narco Culture images are featured today on the New York Times Lens Blog. Shaul was interviewed for the post and the full story and slideshow of images can be found here.
