“I doubt young Americans would pay for newspapers, no matter the quality,” she replied. “My generation is accustomed to free leisure activities. Many of us download music illegally, watch bootleg movies and read newspapers online because we like cheap entertainment. And why shouldn’t we, since real wages keep falling every decade?”
UPDATE: Nikon Germany and Nikon Sweden websites are/were down today. The “Presse” link has some serious errors on nikon.de & nikon.se. Same on nikon-europe.com. Problems with the new press release(s)? Nikon D3s should be a sure thing. This is a collection
Several visual journalists are blogging live from the 22nd Eddie Adams Barnstrorm Workshop that started this weekend at the photojournalist’s old barn in upstate New York. Here are their entries
In 1964, when she was living near Gig Harbor, photographer Jini Dellaccio was asked by a friend if she’d be up for shooting something or someone called The Wailers.
“Living in Gig Harbor with all the fishermen,” she recalls, “I heard ‘whalers’ and I said yes, I’d be happy to do that. I could imagine going out and seeing them in their whaling boats.”
Let me cut right to the chase. If you’re in the market for a 17-inch inkjet professional photo printer and don’t need a roll feed option, the one you want is the new Epson Stylus Pro 3880. This pigment-based printer, which I’ve had the pleasure of testing for the last several weeks before writing this review, is that good.
APE: I talked to you about a year ago right after Canon announced the new 5d markII that shoots video. I called because I wanted to talk with someone who was actually a filmmaker and a photographer to get their opinion on the new product. We got into this

Los Angeles photographer, Susan Anderson, has a new project, High Glitz, spotlighting the spectacle of children’s beauty pagents. The series has just been published by powerHouse, and is opening as an exhibition at the Kopeikin Gallery in Los Angeles on October 24th.
Issue #5 of Proximity Magazine contains a piece by Bert Stabler entitled I Don’t Like Photography. It’s a remarkable piece that starts out asking why “fine art photography is so frequently dull and distasteful, so paralyzed by moribund subjects and forms?”
Stabler sees “art photography as hemmed in by three ‘P’s: painting, poverty, and Pentax.” The first ‘P’ I find a bit intellectually lazy (“From its inception, photography established itself as art by trying to move into the space abandoned by painting.” Oh yeah?), but the other two cover areas that I addressed on this blog – albeit not in one place.
i’m very excited to have Troy House on board today to delight us all with his photography insights. This man has shot the Snuggle bear, my friends. And he’s going to to tell us about it. Without further ado…
I consider Sam Jones to be one of the top photographers in the country at shooting men. And there are plenty of people who shoot men as people or fashionable or sexy but very few who shoot them “manly,” which is something I love about Sam’s photography. S
In Ed Kashi’s new book, THREE, images from his 30 years as a top documentary photographer are combined into triptychs that consciously abandon the idea of context or traditional narrative. Some of those triptychs will be part of a show opening tomorrow at FiftyCrows gallery in San Francisco (founded by liveBooks CEO Andy Patrick), so I thought this would be a good time to talk to Ed about the project. I love the book (that’s my copy getting flipped through) and find his words inspirational. Hope you do too.
Jordan sez, “The IOC, believing that it owns the photos in your shoebox, sent a takedown notice to Richard Giles, AWIA member and rather good photographer. I took notice, as we in Vancouver a…
