You’re looking at the first-ever successful images, or “photomicrograph,” of a single snowflake — photographed through a microscope in 1923 by self-educated photographer Wilson Bentley. ❄️

Bentley went through a lot of trial and error to perfect his technique of photographing snowflakes through a microscope. The result, he hoped, would highlight the beauty of nature and the uniqueness of each flake.

His striking work was published in National Geographic magazine in 1904 and 1923, showcasing the delicate beauty and unique geometry of snow crystals. “Under the microscope, I found that snowflakes were miracles of beauty; and it seemed a shame that this beauty should not be seen and appreciated by others,” Bentley later said of his work.

Provocatively titled ‘I’m Not Okay’ and promising an “unfiltered look at when youth culture was cute, raw, vulnerable, and unapologetically different”, Barbican Music Library’s new exhibition examines how the early Emo scene resonated so deeply with a generation of teenagers.

‘I’m Not Okay (An Emo Retrospective)’, which opens tomorrow and runs until 15 January 2025, is a collaboration between the Museum of Youth Culture (MOYC) and the City of London Corporation-owned library.

Featuring personal photos taken on early digital and mid-00s phone cameras, the content has been retrieved from old hard drives and Photobucket accounts and focuses on the first-generation Emo scene (2004-2009) when bands such as My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, and Finch were hugely influential. The result, says MOYC, is a visually engaging exhibition that delves into how Emo subculture became a positive force for acceptance, addressing issues of sexuality, mental health, gender, identity, and belonging. https://bit.ly/3U5BYpp
