As with all TWAC workshops, students will be joined by their colleagues in-country to document stories surrounding issues of need that NGOs battle every day.
Ricoh has a habit of making weird cameras. Good, well-performing cameras, but odd nonetheless, like the GR III, a point-and-shoot with a fixed, 28mm ƒ1.9 lens. The newly announced GXR series takes that weirdness and turns it inside-out. The GXR takes the
Think you made THE sports photograph of the year? Well, it’s put-up-or-shut up time: The Sports Shooter Newsletter is again holding its annual contest to find the year’s best sports photographs.
About a month ago I was fortunate to get the opportunity to spend a few days shooting with a couple of pre-production Canon 1D Mark IV’s. Because the camera had not yet been announced, I was somewhat limited in where I could shoot. In other words, I wasn’t able to shoot an NFL game or the like.

Lectured last week at the University of Missouri’s School of Journalism. In the photojournalism department, the students all had that traditional mix of energy, enthusiasm, angst, and doubt so typical of that time in your

To give me an idea of such interviews, they sent me an older issue, which featured a long and very interesting interview with Gerhard Steidl.

The Leica Noctilux-M 50mm F/0.95 ASPH lens is way out of my price range at $9,995. I would have to sell all of my camera equipment plus add a few extra dollars to purchase it. I knew I could not afford it but I was curious…what made this lens worth $10,000.
Troy Bartell, 22, former editor-in-chief of Boston University’s student newspaper The Daily Free Press, said Monday that his once-prestigious paper is in “free-fall,” and is now printing only “ridiculous, brutally incompetent shit.”
Picture Black Friday is a photojournalism project that aims to revisit and analyze a combination of forces- a worsening economy, financial desperation, excitement, fear, absurdity, and a distinctly American cultural tradition- that culminate the morning after Thanksgiving.
In celebration of the release of his latest book ‘GRUNGE‘ Michael Lavine is this weeks WTJ? sponsor. Michael took the pics and Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore provides the text. Grunge is not only a collection of portraits of musicians synonymous with the 80’s punk scene and grunge explosion in Seattle but also documents the counter culture of the time. Michael had many personal relationships with many of the artists which lead to unparalleled access.
Mark Klett and Bryon Wolfe have been collaborating on a series, Charting the Canyon, since 2007. The photographers have been re-photographing a variety of iconic views of the Grand Canyon and using digital technology to present old images in new contexts. The old images, which include paintings and drawings as well as photographs, are superimposed on new photographs—and vice versa—with provocative results.
