“Perfect Uncertainty – Robert Adams and the American West” (2002)

24924001_oz.jpeg

Robert Adams is preeminent among the many photographers who have concerned themselves with the urban development of the once-wild lands of the American West. He began to photograph on the Colorado high plains in 1965, and the subjects of his broad body of work have included the spreading of tract houses along the Rockies; strip malls, parking lots, freeways, cheap motels and garishly lit discount houses; abused land and brutalized animals; the defunct orange estates of outer Los Angeles; the ruined forests of coastal Oregon, and the adult and child citizens of the new West as he finds them, often enough, marooned in bleak trailer parks or graceless rooms.

Rob Galbraith DPI: Canon Expo 2010 kicks off in New York

Among the items of interest to photographers are the new EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye and other recently-announced lenses, the EOS 60D, the barcode-reading EOS 7D solution and an elaborate remote camera management demonstration that, if commercialized, would streamline the setup of potentially thousands of Canon digital SLRs deployed at locations across the country. Plus, a 30 inch computer display that is the sharpest desktop screen we’ve ever seen.

I met London photographer, Rizwan Mirza, several months ago. He had attended FotoFest and was making his way west, connecting with photographers and galleries and squeezing the most of his trip to the states. Rizwan was born in Liverpool, studied photography at Derby University, and in 2005, he completed a MA in Documentary Film at Goldsmiths College, London. He has a host of awards and exhibitions that reflect a sophisticated and intelligent approach to his image making.

Stellazine: A Photographer Reviews “Restrepo”

RESTREPO_JUNGER_HETHERINGTON_008.jpeg

I met Linda Covello when I worked at Newsweek and she was shooting for cover stories about American kids. She is first and foremost a portrait photographer with a great connection to people and their environment. Linda is also a serious film buff, and after talking to her about Restrepo, the award-winning film from photographer Tim Hetherington and writer Sebastian Junger, I asked her to write about her feelings.
