The focus of the assignment was ritual. But ritualism on the water for these stoic men is not easily seen. It’s subtle. I found tidbits here and there.—a pirate tattoo that one man would add to on trips back to land, a man who would smoke a joint every time he docked and one fisherman who told me he’d rather die than not fish. “It’s like therapy,” he said. “It’s better than sex.” After those words of wisdom, I knew I had found something special. Photography, I thought, is the perfect medium to capture this subtle ritualistic nature of fishing.

1DmkIV – Singapore night drive from Dan Chung on Vimeo.
This is my second shoot using the pre-production 1DmkIV on loan to me from Canon Singapore. I chose to make this one a bit more like a conventional piece you might find on a news website’s feature pages. Setting myself a one evening time limit on getting the shoot done we filmed everything in about 4 hours. The star of the show is 28 year old Marvin who spends all his money on a Mercedes SLK to drive around Singapore in, mostly cruising with his friends at night.

The first (and only) time I went to the New Museum, and of course I was snapping some photos with my little digital camera (mind you, not of the utterly forgettable art on display, but of the building). A “security” guard approached me and told me “You can’t take pictures here,” and I almost responded “Oh yeah? I just did.”

“The good news for photography is that our editor, Robert Thomson, is a very visual person,” says Jack Van Antwerp, the paper’s photography director.
The WSJ shoots substantially more original photography than before Murdoch took over. “A lot of the stuff needs to be assigned, because we’re breaking the story or it’s a unique angle on it,” Van Antwerp says.

I’m a sucker for self portraits…not my own, but other people’s and Gariela Herman’s are quite engaging. All of her work is imbued with a feeling of joy, a feeling of why-not, and a sense that she is happily exploring the world around her.
