Photographer Documents The Lesser-Known Victims Of Gun Violence — Those Who Survived

$

Karina was standing with friends outside her Aurora, Colorado, high school when she was shot. The unintended victim of a drive-by shooting, Karina had to become a wheelchair user at 16 years old. 

Stories like Karina’s are as horrific as they are commonplace. Homes, schools, movie theaters, nightclubs, religious centers, small businesses and city streets — there are virtually no places on American soil safe from the possibility of gun violence. 

Photographer Kathy Shorr was held up at gunpoint, alongside her young daughter, during a home invasion. As Shorr wrote in an email to The Huffington Post, the experience revealed “what it felt like to have someone have the power to control your destiny and possibly the destiny of someone you loved.” Thankfully, neither Shorr nor her daughter were physically hurt during the robbery. However, the trauma left deep scars. “The emotional impact of a gun pointed at you is a feeling that stays with you,” she said.

The event inspired Shorr to think critically about the growing epidemic of gun violence in America, as well as the way the issue is confronted and discussed. “Gun violence had become an issue that had no gray; it was only black and white,” Shorr said. Talking about guns was always a debate leading nowhere, a screaming match where no one was listening. Where was the conversation, the dialogue, the storytelling? 

So Shorr resolved to photograph victims of gun violence throughout the United States. Specifically, she was interested in the many, often nameless individuals who survived. “We always heard about those who died but never about what happened to those who lived,” Shorr explained. “It seemed as if they were to just pick up the physical and emotional pieces and just go on with their lives.  I felt it would be important to show them and to hear what they had to say.”Since 2013, Shorr has travelled the country documenting those whose lives have been forever altered by the power of a gun ― people of all ages, ethnicities, genders, walks of life. One woman was shot in her home by her husband of 41 years, another was shot accidentally by a police officer in the streets of Manhattan. One man was shot by his car mechanic for refusing to pay a bill, while an 8-year-old girl was shot at school after her classmate brought a gun to school. 

The series, titled “Shot,” clearly communicates the complexity and ambiguity of gun violence’s presence. Any preconceived notion of a “typical” shooter or victim are quickly proved inadequate and out of date. “The idea is to have images of people that anybody can look at and identify with,” Shorr told Slate. “These are situations anyone can empathize with.”

Over the course of two and a half years, the photographer travelled 100,000 miles, documenting a diverse and powerful range of American heroes. Shorr made sure to have all ages and ethnicities represented, and funded the entire cross-country project herself. She’s now raising funds on Kickstarter to compile her images into a book, including portraits of 101 shooting victims, ages 8 to 80.Shorr meets each of her subjects on the day of the shoot, getting to know each other for around half an hour before taking the photo. The individuals share their stories, which Shorr summarizes in captions alongside the images. Some reveal physical scars before the camera, while others communicate their pain through their facial expressions. The range of individuals affected by gun violence, many of whom were struck by chance, is staggering. 

In a debate that is so often thrust into categories of left and right, progressive and conservative, anti- and pro-guns, Shorr hopes to use the power of images to find a middle ground, one every human can empathize with. “’Shot’ is not meant to be divisive; many gun owners and an NRA member are featured in the project,” she said. “All Americans are affected by gun violence and we all have to talk about responsible gun laws. ‘Shot’ has never been about extremes ― responsible gun owners are the people who will be the ones that change the rules. After all, most gun owners do want responsible gun laws.”

On Aug. 2 alone, there were 19 reported incidents of gun violence in the United States. Twenty people lost their lives; three survived. Schorr’s images depict people like them, whose stories often go untold, who are asked to return to their normal lives after experiencing a trauma at once harrowing and, increasingly, banal.

An Assault on Love

Every day 297 Americans are shot. Every day 89 Americans die from gun violence. In an average year, around 17,000 American children are shot and nearly 7,000 of them die.

All my adult life I have worked and campaigned to ensure everyone can love whomever they choose. I consider being able to love whomever you want to be a most sacred human right and I will do all I can to make sure love is allowed to flourish. For the last 30 years I have helped in my own way to lead the campaign here at home, and around the world, for LGBTQ rights - so we all can be allowed to love, marry, participate in our society openly and be who we are. All the while embracing and celebrating the diversity which makes our country stronger.

The LGBTQ community has achieved so much, and while there is still so much yet to do, the LGBTQ community must not let our fellow Americans be left without the same justice and love we are striving so hard to secure for ourselves.The horrifying facts on gun violence remind us how we have to do more to stand up for love. Our work must include ending gun violence. Preventing guns and other military weaponry getting into the hands of people who hate should be a priority. We cannot always see what is in a person's heart but those who hate enough to kill innocent people can be deterred.

While we can and should remain committed to the 2nd Amendment, the right to own guns does not mean Americans have to suffer under the yoke of such violence and death.

Owning a gun, being trained in gun use, and hunting with a gun are seen by many as fundamental rights and a part of the building blocks of America. However, this does not mean individuals should be allowed to have military style assault weapons, armor piercing bullets, and magazines with more than five rounds. This type of weaponry should not be available outside of our military.

Americans with certain documented and recognized mental health issues, or someone convicted of violent offenses, should not be able to purchase a weapon. This should also include those suspected of, or under investigation for being a terrorist.

Common sense dictates some parts of our country should and must be gun free, including schools, universities, hospitals, public buildings, and other "safe-zones".

We need to ensure scientists and researchers are allowed to examine the causes of gun violence and how best to prevent any future gun violence.

The vast majority of gun owners support these types of sensible proposals. After Orlando, Baton Rouge, Minnesota and Dallas still in the headlines most Americans know and feel the situation cannot go on as it is.

One in every three Americans know someone who has been shot, gun violence is the second-leading cause of death for young people, an average of over 35,000 Americans are killed due to gun violence every year.

As noted by CNN: "According to the Gun Violence Archive, which compiles data from shooting incidents, a "mass shooting" is any incident where four or more people are wounded or killed. By definition, we've seen 136 mass shootings in the first 164 days of this year." In the first half of 2016 already, 21 police officers have been shot and killed while on duty; to these tragedies we must now add the 5 officers killed in Dallas and three killed in Baton Rouge .

We all recognize the list of the worst mass killings: Orlando where nearly 50 young people enjoying music, dancing and life were killed; Sandy Hook - 27 killed including 20 children aged between 6 and 7 years old, as well as six adult staff members who were at school; Virginia Tech - 32 people including college students and professors were killed; 12 moviegoers were killed in Aurora, Colorado; Tucson, Arizona saw 6 people killed and a U.S. Congresswoman shot in the head.

These terrible incidents may be some of the worst examples, but every day, all over our country, communities and families suffer under gun violence

This great Republic will never fulfill its promise of equal protection under the law while our nation lives in constant fear of armed attacks. An end to gun violence is necessary for the security of our citizens, and vital to the survival of our democracy. America can never be truly be united so long as mass shootings continue with no action from Congress.

We must view gun violence in America as an impediment to the future and success of our country, and we must act now.

Vision Inspection that Fits from METTLER TOLEDO

METTLER TOLEDO CI-Vision is pleased to announce the launch of the V2622 Flex-Lite, a compact smart camera based vision solution. The V2622 serves as an excellent introduction for manufacturers seeking to integrate vision technology into their quality control process.

Aurora, Illinois (PRWEB) August 04, 2016

With the V2622 Flex-Lite, manufacturers can explore the capabilities of a vision inspection program without the need for a heavy up-front investment. By using smart cameras rather than a central control PC, the V2622 is a compact vision system suited for either wide-scale implementation or as an introduction to vision technology. The V2622 offers manufacturers the ability to only take the software and cameras they need, and allows for in-house setup of the system – or complete project management and installation assistance, if preferred. As government regulations regarding the labelling of products continue to come into force across multiple industries, vision inspection is becoming an ever more integral part of a comprehensive quality control program by ensuring only packages and labels that meet the manufacturers exacting specifications make it out of their facility to retailer shelves.

The V2622 utilizes METTLER TOLEDO smart camera software and hardware to deliver a vision inspection solution that does not compromise the high performance standards set internally. With a comprehensive track record in Track & Trace applications, these smart cameras have delivered quality results to the pharmaceutical industry and are now being brought to other industries for similar applications in package quality, code reading, and graphical identification. Some camera models include liquid lens technology, allowing for adjustments in camera focus to be made with no moving parts, making product changeovers more reliable and efficient.

The system comes in multiple configurations ranging from a single smart camera and patch panel all the way to a two camera system with a dedicated control box and touch screen PC running Inspection Manager, a software allowing control of multiple smart cameras from a centralized interface. Manufacturers can decide which configuration works best for them, or have the vision experts at METTLER TOLEDO tailor a solution for them. As with all METTLER TOLEDO CI-Vision systems, the V2622 comes with the backing of our global service and support network, making large-scale or even global rollouts easy and offering regular maintenance programs as well as operator training courses.
