A Photo Editor – Photographer Website Design
So, the other day I cranked through 145 websites in about 3 hours for the consultation demo and then I had a conversation with a magazine art director friend about how we look at photographers websites in obviously different ways (design vs. photo) and I realized something: Design and layout has a powerful effect on…

SHANE LAVALETTE / JOURNAL » Richard Barnes: Murmur
: Richard Barnes has three interesting projects on his website. I absolutely love Murmur, which I originally came across on Mrs. Deane.

Alec Soth stays sane by staying put – City Pages (Minneapolis/St. Paul)
: If Beverly Hills has a Main Street, it’s Rodeo Drive—three blocks of palm trees and designer boutiques with names like Armani, Gucci, and Louis Vuitton. Impossibly expensive cars—Ferraris, Rolls-Royces, Lamborghinis—cruise down the strip. Paparazzi stalk red carpets and limousines. From the balcony of a brand new Chanel Boutique one evening this past December, Minneapolis…

Wandering Light: An inner silence
: I chose not to photograph people smiling in portraits. I too am always searching to reveal the inner silence within a subject. Posed smiling is a learned reaction and does not provide insight to subject’s being. Instead it blocks the viewer from studying a vulnerable face. I ask a lot of the people I…

A Deviant's Diary : outlookindia.com
: Sensitive, reflective, intimate. These are not words normally associated with the oeuvre of Pablo Bartholomew, best known for his stark World Press Photo award-winning images: morphine addicts shooting heroin up gnarled forearms in cheap Paharganj hotels, and the glassy-eyed dead baby that came to symbolise the Bhopal gas tragedy in 1984. But it was…

Golfweek's Bland Rage – Blogs Design and Production @ FolioMag.com via PDN Pulse
: Lots of buzz online about the termination of editor Dave Seanor over this cover, which refers to a thoughtlessly stupid remark by golf anchor Kelly Tighman. It’s worth noting that the controversy over this cover is inextricably wrapped up in its conceptual quality. The insipid stock image brings nothing to the package that isn’t…
