There’s a new camera category in town. It’s EVIL, and it’s going to kick your DSLR’s ass. EVIL stands for Electronic Viewfinder Interchangeable Lens, and is our favorite acronym for cameras like the Olympus Pen, the Lumix GF1 and the Samsung NX10. These s
I enjoy reading the high end DSLR discussion boards on the internet. Those gearheads go ape over minute differences in “chromatic aberration” and “barrel distortion”. They p…
I aksed my friend, Susan Burnstine, what she was featuring at Photo LA this weekend and it turns out that Susan will be represented by two galleries, Kevin Longino Fine Photographs from CT and TX and the Susan Spiritus Gallery from Newport Beach, CA.

one of the first U.S. journalists en route to the Caribbean island after Tuesday’s earthquake was Patrick Farrell, who won the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for breaking news photojournalism for “A People in Despair: Haiti’s Year Without Mercy.”
When I give talks or lectures people often ask me my personal feelings about war, usually I dodge the question. Sometimes I say that I don’t expect my pictures to stop wars, but rather I hope they help citizens to understand what going to war means. On that level at least I think the Tal Afar pictures fulfill my goals as a photographer; for they shine a rare and unsparing light onto war’s brutal-yet-routine realities. And people should know about them.
The situation in Haiti has brought a tremendous many talented photographers to Haiti, with many more on the way. We would like to find a way to broaden the picture of Haiti that is currently in the news, by combining work with the disaster area with work from the rest of the nation.
If you are going to Haiti and will be there in February, I am asking photographers to spread out around the country and to spend day or two photographing something other than the earthquake ravaged area, to be included in a special issue of 100Eyes on Haiti.
Mr. Stock was a photographer whose intimate and evocative portraits captured the essence of jazz performance and helped shape James Dean’s moody public persona.
Welcome to the Best Photobooks of 2009. Continuing were we left off last year, we’ve expanded this long photo-eye tradition to include top 10 photobook lists from a group of prominent photographers, bookmakers, editors, publishers and critics. Above you’ll find a complete list of the contributors, each linking to that individual’s list. The range of books selected for 2009 is vast — spanning continents and genres, and together they form a powerful survey of contemporary photography. Since our very format denies the idea of an over-arching and objective top 10, below you’ll find a more modest “master list,” made up of the books that appear on at least three individual lists
As many picture editors and researchers know well, Mr. Glover’s dedication to the collection and accuracy of its contents set industry standards the world over
Nikon EVIL camera is gaining momentum again. In the past few days I received some reliable information about the existence of this product/project. The official announcement should be this year (Photokina?). No further details or specs at that point. Coin
For some cultural perspective on contemporary Haitian culture, 100eyes has a strong presentation of work by Alice Smeets, William Coupon, Edwine Seymour, Rex Curry, Jan Sochor, David Zentz, Aurora Photos, Polaris Images, and Andy Levin. Well worth a look.
A show at the Grey Art Gallery reminds us what the arts communities in the East Village, SoHo and TriBeCa were like at the height of the AIDS epidemic.
Two days after the magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck beneath Port-au-Prince, Haiti, some of the massive damage is becoming more apparent. Rescue teams are arriving, aid groups are trying their best to battle huge logistical challenges, bodies are being iden
There is nothing worst for a photographer, like for an actor, to be typecast. For Dennis Stock, who passed away this week, that is what happened. Ultra famous for the iconic images he took of James Dean just before he became famous, he had to drag this notoriety like a canon ball tied to his foot throughout his whole career. To a point that few people know the rest of his work. Which is a shame.
