#WorldAIDSDay is especially important this year.
US has cut nearly all support for HIV care and research, while UK has cut £150 million from its contribution to Global Health Fund.
HIV activism and NGOs continue to save lives while govts betray people with HIV.

Cover image for History of Photography volume 48 issue 1 (2025). The background is grey. At the top it says History of Photography in white. In the middle of the page there is a glass plate negative of a photo studio. You can see a camera on a tripod, several other devices on the sides, and the stage, with more devices.
The latest issue of History of Photography is out and it includes my article on the funding and institutionalisation of medical photography! I loved that they used the only photo in the article, a negative glass plate of the Salpêtrière photo studio, in the front cover ❤️ #photohist #histmed
