This is a really great look at covering a war — through a photojournalist’s lens. LA Times photojournalist Rick Loomis takes you from his storage locker in California into battle in Fallouja. The self portraits over time are very telling, and there are some fun stories about drinking Saddam’s wine seeing a woman for the first time in weeks.

It is a fine day in May, and the trees are leafing out, showing the bright tender green I associate with newness, and the sun is shining, and the news from Costa Rica is that Bill Jay has died in his sleep.

WE ARE SUPERVISION says:
Every city has its own gang history, part of Chicago’s are Gang cards, most prominent in the 70’s and early 80’s, back in the day when a gang was more of a neighborhood crew then what it is today. Fists, bats, and bottles days, before guns became the norm in the gang. Most of the gangs were just about the neighborhood and hanging out together. Stock art from the printer as well as some hand drawn illustrations were the back bone of many of the cards. Some cards are pretty humorous, with some off the wall illustrations, logos, sayings, and rhymes. They don’t make them like they used to…

Susan Wides says:
My photographs explore what I see and what it sparks in me– the way the physical phenomena of the world are experienced by the senses and imagination. Intuitive insights, states of awareness, and visual thinking – manifestations that exist only in fleeting perception are at the center of my work.

Just stumbled on this: a really cool project pulled together by Arthouse co-op in Atlanta… You send them $18 and they send you a disposable camera with 24 shots to document your life this summer.

You have to admire Vivitar. The company has the cojones to sell an all-manual, 35mm film camera in a world where film is pretty much dead, at least as a mass-market product.
I got a mail from the Vivitar PR people earlier this week asking me to take a look the V3800N

Laugh all you like but, when combined with the infamous focussing problems, the top-end EOS is starting to look less and less attractive.
Fake Chuck Westfall is even less charitable about the latest Canon debacle:
At least be happy about the fact that we are finally acknowledging the problem and are offering to fix it for you, and this, ofcourse, after waiting for two years now while many users have been complaining about this on forums everywhere. At least two years is a lot faster than waiting 3 years to release a service notice for the 5D mirror falling off, right?
