Taking it’s name from a darkroom/photo processing technique, the Dodge & Burn Blog is dedicated to DIVERSITY in PHOTOGRAPHY. My posts reflect PHOTOGRAPHY HISTORY as I would have loved to have learned it and CONTEMPORARY PHOTOGRAPHY as I see and value it.
Dodge & Burn photography blog will highlight what is often “dodged” from the art scene and “burned” in art history: photographers of African, Asian, Latino, Native American, Pacific Islander and Aleutian heritage, women photographers and works of photography about these and other indigenous communities of the world.
They say there are no second acts in Hollywood but there clearly are in the world of digital cameras. Less than six months after releasing the much-hyped but often criticized PEN EP-1 digital camera, Olympus has followed up that model with the EP-2 ($1099) which features an articulating electronic viewfinder, a new autofocus tracking feature, and a black paint job.

The main attraction at the Canon show was of course the 1DmkIV; I managed to have a pretty good look at the camera’s video functions and in the next day or two should have more for you.
Every photographer who enters a contest hopes his or her images are recognized. I can relate. Over the years, my photographs have won and lost in contests.
I have helped edit my husband, Randy Olson’s portfolio when he won magazine Photographer of the Year and another year for newspapers.

Of this series, he says, ‘In Congo-Brazzaville SAPE is an old passion that has never stopped, not even during war years. At the arrival of the French in Congo at the beginning of 9oo, the myth of elegance was born among young people working for the settlers. In 1922, Andre Grenard Matsoua, well-known for his resistance to the settlers, was the first Congolese to come back from Paris well dressed like a true French “Monsieur”, and greatly admired by all his fellow citizens. Today’s members of the SAPE consider themselves as artists and are respected and admired by the whole community.
This story was introduced to me as a child, watching the men in my family go in and out of prison as I grew up. I noticed there was very little support for ex-felons as they tried to re-enter society at that time.

Really interesting interview today with Nelson Chan, folks. Chan has been steadily making personal projects that deal with his heritage and relationships. Don’t miss the part where he talks about the confluence of shyness and regret when making a portrait- I found that highly relatable, and a little poetic, too.
In the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, where images have largely been sanitized, Peter van Agtmael’s photographs offer an up-close look at wars that, to most, seem emotionally blurred and distant. His recently released book, “2nd Tour, Hope I Don’t Die,” is a young photojournalist’s firsthand experience: the wars’ effects on him, on the soldiers and on the countries involved.
