    I know that keeping a molding, crumbling building as is really isn’t possible, so that’s whay I photograph these places in their current state – sort of an architectural purgatory.

    Raza was my rock.  He was my eyes and ears on the dangerous Pakistani frontier with Afghanistan. He was the only person in Pakistan I trusted with my life and I repeatedly placed it in his hands. He never ever let me down.

    He was officially a fixer, but Raza Khan was far, far more than that.

    In announcing the shift today, the White House said in a statement that Obama “strongly believes that the release of these photos, particularly at this time, would only serve the purpose of inflaming the theaters of war, jeopardizing US forces, and making our job more difficult in places like Iraq and Afghanistan.”

    Dan Havlik, PDN says:

    “Photographers need real reasons to upgrade past 39-megapixel digital backs,” Phase One CEO Henrik Håkonsson says in the release. “Real value includes higher resolution but also requires new functions, faster operation, higher quality through expanded sensitivity, increased dynamic range, better results in the studio or on location and a better longer-term investment.”

    Though that’s a canned quote, it’s an argument photographers need to seriously consider if they’re thinking of jumping back into the megapixel race. Because along with offering mind-blowing amounts of resolution—and images shot with the P 65+ really are mind-blowing—the camera system sets another unofficial record, this time in the conspicuous consumption category. Packaged together, the Phase One P65+ back and 645 camera sells for just a hair under $42,000.

    Ouch.

    Pete Tsai took a look and though “I can do that.” The other way to hook up a Nikon camera to a computer is via USB, so why not Wireless USB (WUSB)? He bought an off-the-shelf adapter and, with minimal tweaking, got full remote access. The price? $40.

    Eliane Laffont says:

    “Photojournalism” is a word that evokes heroic stories and the call of adventure. It is a mirror of the world and a witness to its time. When Jean Pierre  and I—along with our French partners — created the photo agencies Gamma in 1968 and Sygma in 1973, we wanted to redefine the nature of photojournalism and reveal and explain the world’s great events. We consciously built a new platform. And it was not by chance that these two photo agencies grew so quickly. We were successful because we invented a new way of reporting the news and a new way of working with photographers that, despite many challenges, is still alive today.

    Secondly, she’s obviously one of the most talented photographers in the world (and the fact that she’s a PhotoShelter user makes it all the more sweet).

    the Pentagon is about to release another batch of photographs from Abu Ghraib–perhaps hundreds of new images. This release comes as the country debates the use of torture in obtaining critical infomation. The Pentagon did not want to release these images, which it collected when it investigated the abuse at Abu Ghraib. It eventually capitulated after losing three separate Federal court reviews of the matter.
