    The first batch of Kim-is-fine photos was released Oct. 11, but they flunked the seasonal leaf test. They showed Kim inspecting a military unit near trees whose foliage looked suspiciously summery.

    The photos released Sunday featured authentic autumnal colors, but newspapers in Seoul have remained dubious, seeking input from photo experts and neurosurgeons.

    Legendary B-movie actor Bruce Campbell plays himself in the new film MY NAME IS BRUCE, which opens theatrically on October 31 in New York. MY NAME IS BRUCE doesn’t have a standard issue release date because we’re doing something for the film that doesn’t seem to be done anymore. Campbell is traveling to every opening city to be at the opening theatre for the first night or two. As such, Bruce is working his way across the country between November and December, in a new city every few days. (Who else nowadays goes on a two month PA tour?)

    At ten past four in the afternoon, Thursday 23rd October 2008, a seismic shift occurred in the photo department at The Sydney Morning Herald. The remaining members of Team ZimmerTM, the elder statesmen of Herald photography, surrounded by their photographic colleagues and a few senior reporters, were farewelled with modest gifts and mudcake. Farewelled alongside them were two of the best sport shooters the world has seen. The Herald had just lost over a century of experience in one fell swoop. There was barely a dry eye in the place.
    End of an era: from right; Tim Clayton, Peter Morris, Craig Golding and Bob Pearce.

  • emember Nick Turpin, who did those beautiful SB-800-lit street portraits of thriller writers for Arena Magazine?

    Now, he has ditched even those and is shooting his current month-long campaign for Samsung using only a cell phone. No DSLRs, no flashes, no female assistants holding long poles. And he is not even in control of what he is shooting — you are.

    In late September I made my latest visit to Poland, to finally bring some closure to ‘The Sound of Two Songs’, which began way back in 2004. These are some of those recent pictures.

  • One of my favorite stories is when he got his hands on an old-school stun-gun, the kind that shoots a bolt of electrical current across two contact points. He was so thrilled about his new toy, he went down to The Lift that night and you just knew he was gonna find an excuse to use it. He starts talking s**t to some turtleneck-wearing douchebag at the club, they get about ready to box, and Dwid pulls the stungun on the dude and it was either low on batteries or just a cheap bootleg knockoff cause the guy he stunned just kinda stepped back, looked at him like ‘check out this motherF***R’ and broke his nose with one punch. Classic.

    With the 2008 election only days away, we asked four photographers who have spent years working both in and around the White House to offer their advice for the next president. Here photographers Pete Souza, Diana Walker, David Hume Kennerly, and Robert McNeely reflect upon the role the White House photographer plays in creating an historic record, how the White House press office and the next First Family might work with media photographers, and the value that photographers with access to the White House can have in shaping the public’s understanding of both the President and the workings of government.

  • Nikon and Canon are traditional rivals, like the Hatfields and the McCoys. They compete in just about ever segment of the market. But, in recent years Canon has, with its G series, had one small niche to itself, that of the pocketable digicam that shoots raw and has an optical viewfinder (pathetic though the latter may be).

    Now, with the introduction by Nikon of the Coolpix P6000, and Canon’s upgrade to the G10, we have what appear at first blush to be competitive products in this category. Let’s see how they initially stack up.
