The suspect also has a 7-year-old daughter who is totally blind

“…as his head turned, he saw the girl. She was just stepping off the bus … while he was thinking of her, the bus had bumbled away and she was crossing the slant intersection coming directly towards him. Not o him; she didn’t know he was there.” – In a lonely place by Dorothy B. Hughes     If you were waiting for a bus in Los Angeles in the mid to late 1970s, there’s a chance that Anthony Hernandez (born 1947) took your picture. To capture the scene, the LA native used a large camera on a tripod to achieve sharp focus and emphasise the details of the urban environment surrounding the individuals. As with John Brian King’s of people waiting at LAX in the 1980s, the waiting is not passive. Nothing seems still. Those lines and angles around the subjects take us away from them into the scene. We look up the road and around. We see people from behind. There are all kinds of moods and emotions here –  expectation, apprehension, anxiety, isolation, vulnerability.     So why LA? “Because it’s where I grew up and where I knew so well, it was the first place I really thought about making pictures. And that’s how it began. I didn’t have any prior knowledge of this great tradition or history of street photography — people like Robert Frank or Cartier-Bresson, Paul Strand, anybody. It was nothing to do with that, just with my own experience in the city. It was very pure… “Looking straight on when you’re walking down the street with your camera in your hand, it lends itself to a very fluid way of working — you’re photographing as you’re moving through this crowd of people, you’re capturing these quiet, intimate moments.” – Anthony Hernandez to I-D mag     “When I was a kid, the only thing I actually remember doing was walking, looking, exploring my neighbourhood” – Anthony Hernandez       Via: Yancey Richardson Gallery, SF Moma, Anthony Hernandez by Robert Adams and Erin O’Toole.

The US has announced a partial suspension of sanctions on Syria after a historic meeting in Washington DC between its new leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa, and Donald Trump. Monday’s meeting was the first summit between a US and Syrian leader at the White House since 1946. The meeting is part of a remarkable turnaround in US-Syrian relations after the fall of Bashar al-Assad, who had prosecuted a deadly civil war in the country from 2011 until his forces collapsed in December 2024. Sharaa, a former al-Qaida-aligned rebel fighter who had previously had a $10m bounty on his head, arrived at the White House on Monday in a dark suit and red tie as he sought to lobby Trump for sanction relief for the former pariah state. Video showed him greeting a crowd of supporters outside in a rare public appearance.

U.S. President Donald Trump vowed on Monday to do everything he can to make Syria successful after landmark talks with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa, a former al Qaeda commander who until recently was sanctioned by Washington as a foreign terrorist. Sharaa's visit capped a stunning year for the rebel-turned-ruler who toppled longtime autocratic leader Bashar al-Assad and has since travelled the world trying to depict himself as a moderate leader who wants to unify his war-ravaged nation and end its decades of international isolation.

Syria has agreed to join the U.S.-led coalition to tackle the ISIS terrorist group following a meeting between President Ahmed al-Sharaa and U.S. President Donald Trump on Nov. 10, according to a Syrian official. Syrian Information Minister Hamza al-Mustafa said on Nov. 10 that Syria has signed “a political cooperation declaration” with the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS—a coalition signed by 89 other partners to combat ISIS in Iraq, Syria, and globally—confirming its commitment to efforts to combat terrorism and support regional stability.
