Nikon’s new flagship D3S has squeezed both HD video into its full-frame shooting body, but the real news is that the camera can literally see in the dark — the brand new sensor has a standard top ISO setting of 12,800 and can be jacked up to an unbelievab

Late next month Nikon will ship the D3S, an update of its venerable D3 digital SLR that features improved high-ISO image quality (and an eye-popping top ISO of 102,400), a 720p D-Movie mode with external stereo mic jack, approximately double the burst depth of the D3, a useful 1.2x crop mode and various other refinements.
Link: Keep x Tobin Yelland: Camera Tee:
In collaboration with Keep, photographer Tobin Yelland’s fascination with his camera has taken on a new form with a graphic tee emblazoned with one of his drawings. Known for taking pictures of skateboarders, like any good photographer, Yelland loves his camera. But unlike most other photographers, he fanatically draws his Leica. He looks for interesting subjects when he takes photos, but when he draws, he draws his camera.
The camera is even positioned on the shirt in the same set-up as he uses. Yelland says, “I am obsessed with my Leica camera. I love the way it looks and I’ve drawn it hundreds of times. It’s the best subject because it’s always near me and if I’m bored and on an airplane, I like to draw my camera. I have drawn my camera from every angle.”

The amendment to the 11-year-old law which made it illegal for photographers to trespass, both physically and constructively, with the intention of photographing celebrities engaged in personal and familial activities in a “manner that is offensive to a reasonable person” – now allows plaintiffs to file suit against any media organization that sells, transmits or publishes an image knowing it was obtained through such illegal trespass.

I’m editing my portfolio with the help of Sid Hastings, and in some sort of bizarre karmaic twist my jaw drops. Our portfolio edit stuns me, because for the first time in my career my portfolio is led with a photograph made on a point and shoot camera. And, I’m not ashamed of that…in fact I’m delighted.

Link: Upstate Girls: What Became of Collar City – Brenda Ann Kenneally – Digital Journalist:
As a journalist and activist I have dedicated my life to exploring the how and why of class inequity in America. I am concerned with the internalized social messages that will live on for generations after our economic and social policies catch up with the reality of living on the bottom rung of America’s upwardly mobile society. My project explores the way that money is but a symptom of self-worth and a means by which humans separate from each other. Poverty is an emotional rather than physical state with layers of marginalization to cement those who live under them into their place. The economic crisis as it is called has done some to take the moral sting out of being poor, though the conversation remains centered on economic rather than social stimulus relief. Thus indicating that the crux of the crisis is for those that are recently without money rather than Americans whose ongoing struggles left them unfazed by the headlines.
