I’ve not consciously come across the work of Joseph Symenkyj<\/a> before, though a few of the pictures on his web site seem familiar, but his is a name I’ll probably now remember even if I’m rather unsure how to pronounce it. I find he is an American photographer who graduated from the New York School of Visual Arts<\/em> in 2002, and what finally brought him to my attention in a post on the NY Times Lens blog <\/a>is that he has been awarded this year\u2019s W. Eugene Smith Grant in Humanistic Photography<\/a> for his long-term project on family life in Ukraine.\u00a0 On the web site you can also see his work on more recent events on the streets of the country.<\/p>\n
