One of the market leaders, both in the early days and still today, is Capture One from Phase One. It’s not inexpensive, and it’s not all that easy to learn and use. But C1 consistently produces raw conversions that are state-of-the-art, and as good as and often better than those from anyone else.

in some ways Kabul was Saigon. Westerners could drink wine and beer and eat Frenchified Afghan food while a rural insurgency gathered strength, moving from village to village, from areas where the Americans had added troops to areas where there were European troops who fought less aggressively or places where there were no troops at all.
And you would realize that sooner or later, the war would come to you.

The Forum meets informally. The gatherings are a mix of activities; between visits by photo luminaries and live presentation and critique of members work in open forum. These presentations have been quite revealing, as members show new projects in various stages of completion and open themselves up for review by their peers. I have seen some really interesting work, one of the standouts for me being that of emerging photographer Pari Dukovic who has a unique approach to his work and his process. At the last salon Pari debuted prints from his fab ‘Tasting Canvas‘ project. The web doesnt really do the prints justice. So in honor of the exhibits opening and curious to know more about the how I posed Pari few questions.

Of all the behind the scenes stuff we’ve showed in recent vids, the one techie thing that far-and-away led to the most questions from readers was the part in this video where I’m photographing X Games uber-skiers Simon Dumont, Colby James West, TJ Shiller, Peter Olenick, and Nick Heine in New Zealand using strobes at 8 frames per second. That’s right. Rail slides and 100 foot airs. 8 frames per second. Strobed.
I know why you had questions.

Every six months, the Audit Bureau of Circulations releases data about newspapers and how many people subscribe to them. And then everyone writes a story about how some newspapers declined some amount over the year previous. Well, that’s no way to look at data! It’s confusing—and it obscures larger trends. So we’ve taken chunks of data for the major newspapers, going back to 1990, and graphed it, so you can see what’s actually happened to newspaper circulation.
