Stephen Mayes, who has served as World Press Photo Jury Secretary for the past six years, gave a keynote lecture during which he shared his personal observations, reflections and concerns about “how the media processes images” as well as his insights on the grueling but efficient behind-the-scenes workings at this most important award in photojournalism.
Alex Bartsch says:
the abstractness and geometry of the man-made world in Stephan Zirwes’ photographs are worth the detour!
lenscratch says:
Charles Grogg’s images of Bonsai trees and flowers are “platinum/palladium, handcoated on handmade Japanese gampi. Each piece of the nine-piece image is individually exposed under sunlight, washed, dried, and then sewn with cotton thread onto a larger piece of Japanese washi. Each print is then float mounted in a walnut, maple, or kiaat espresso-stained artist’s frame.”
Lori Vrba says:
I’ve spent the last year exploring the desire to protect that which is, or is perceived to be, vulnerable or sacred. As a mother to three young children I am present not only to the maternal urge to lock away the sensuality of a young girl or the exposed emotions of an adolescent boy, but also that they, like all humans, have feelings, secrets, treasures, and relationships that are for safekeeping.

Tim Gruber’s “When The Lights Go Out” explores the portrayal of women on late-night cable TV.
Glen E. Friedman says:
Who was Paul Haven? He was the art director at SkateBoarder magazine during it’s entire run in the 70’s, right through the last issue of Action Nowmagazine in the early 80’s.
The Guardian says:
I’m from Finsbury Park in north London. It was a place of ignorance, bigotry, poverty and violence. We were a family of five living in two basement rooms of a tenement block with no indoor loo.
Jim McNay says:
Another durn portfolio project. Inconvenient timing.
Very busy now. Feels like another rush job.
And it’s worth it.
BOX OF LIGHT says:
I wouldn’t have said yes to shooting The Masters this year if I didn’t have some odd pull and some odd fascination with the giant tournament. Yet, the images that stand out to me while editing aren’t those of Tiger Woods in nice light or Angel Cabrera with a club in hand. They’re the somewhat odder, somewhat unexpected images that make editing the whole week a little more bearable.
I’m giving you those.
Nikon Rumors says:
In order to prevent future head banging, I will post some unconfirmed rumors I have been getting in the past few days/weeks. At that point I cannot establish any patterns or draw any conclusions – those are just rumors and this is what this whole site is about

Strictly Business says:
An extraordinary thing happened to me last Friday. A potential client called for a quote. My business, like many of yours, has been very slow for months and the call caught me off guard.
grain edit says:
Umm not sure what to think of this one. This has to be the craziest kid’s board game I’ve ever seen. Someone has to translate the text.
burn magazine says:
For over two decades a sectarian rebel group known as the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) and its infamous leader, Joseph Kony, have been waging a war against the Ugandan people and government, burning villages, mutilating civilians, and abducting children. Based in Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the LRA has continued to terrorize northern Uganda since the late 1980’s, forcing millions of people to abandon their homes for dire conditions of internally displaced persons (IDP) camps.
