I am convinced that by just about any measure (except price) this is the most outstanding 35mm format DSLR yet. Build quality, image quality – you name it. No, it’s not the fastest shooting, and no it doesn’t have cleanest high ISO capability of any Nikon – its sister the D3 wears that crown. But other than with these specialized capabilities there’s hardly a camera on the market that can touch the Nikon D3x in overall goodness – except when it comes to price.

It clearly is award time at the moment. After announcing Burn Magazine’s grant and the “A Taste for Life Competition” within the last two weeks, here is yet another one:

Its mission is to discover and illuminate compelling documentary photography employed in innovative ways to affect social awareness and propel humanitarian compassion.
The inaugural theme for the award is Communities.

This post has been long overdue. Fitting I write about this on the day one of America’s best newspapers, the Rocky Mountain News, published it’s final edition. The economy and the newspaper business is in utter turmoil.
Last month, I found myself on the wrong end of an involuntary staff reduction. I’ve got nothing to hang my head about. I’m happy with the work I did during my time here at the FLS. It came down to decisions and circumstances far out of my control. Sadly, I’ve witnessed many talented friends, colleagues and scores of people I’ve never met finding themselves in the same position.

On Monday, Sept. 15, mere hours after Lehman Brothers declared bankruptcy in New York City, Sotheby’s was throwing open the doors of its London headquarters for the most extravagant sale in the auction house’s history. The sale, of 223 new artworks by Damien Hirst, brought in more than $200 million — nearly 10 times the total receipts of the previous record-holder for a single artist, a 1993 auction of 88 Picassos that reaped around $20 million. It was a level of consumption that, particularly when viewed against the concurrent collapse of the financial-services industry, almost immediately acquired a nostalgic air, the last gasp of the art boom.
