    Stuart Franklin says:

    It was odd: at the beginning, the Tiananmen Square demonstrations had an upbeat, almost rock festival feel. But then as the army moved in, it turned ugly. So the following morning, I was on the balcony in my hotel room on Chang’an Avenue in Beijing, about 150 metres from Tiananmen Square. I couldn’t leave the hotel, as Chinese security had occupied the lobby. It was a bit frustrating: having grown up with the Magnum ethos that if a picture isn’t good enough, you’re not close enough, I found myself looking on with quite a long lens.

    Having had the pleasure of sitting down with a big box or two or three of Tom’s prints, having seen an exhibition of prints on the walls of the Howard Greenberg Gallery two years ago, as a fellow craftsman, I tip my hat. His prints, to borrow Bill Arnold’s stolen line, “sing.” If Edward Weston’s prints sang like some great tenor, Tom Arndt’s prints sing like Nat King Cole. The reproductions in this book are excellent, do fair justice to the pictures, but lack the subtlety of the originals.

    He did not disappoint. Jimmy Koh and his wife (who’s name I didn’t get) are possibly the coolest camera shop owners in the world. Jim and Chris at Pro Photo Supply in Portland, I’m sorry, to the crazy Orthodox guy at B&H who always scolds me for not going to Shabbat services, YOU SO LOSE. You might be fun to tell stories about but Jimmy Koh is the bomb.
    This guy LOVES CAMERAS. He loves Rolleiflexes, he loves Leica’s. He has an AMAZING collection of these cameras. So good that you have got to take the LIRR out to Bellmore and get your ass over to his shop to check it out.

    After the chaos that was opening night NYPH’08 opening night NYPH’09 was an extremely well put together and enjoyable affair. Not to say that I didn’t have lots of fun last year amongst the madness but it looks like they really have their shit together on the organizational front which can only bode well for the days ahead.

    Listen up, students. This post is all for you.

    Photojournalism is still quite new for me, but I have already learned some key lessons along the way. I’d like to share a bit of that insight now.

    Huffington Post has put another nail in the coffin of the notion of a paying career in journalism. Now, instead of just contributing to the site for free (where does that $20+ million in seed money go?), would-be Huffington Post writers can pay for the chance to be an intern at the site.

    Gregory Crewdson is a New York photographer who takes these amazingly surreal, production-heavy photos that evoke this really surreal and almost creepy feeling to them. The way he lights is photos is crazy, almost like a movie would be set up.

    Check under the cut for a video of him talking about his process as well as a behind the scenes of a shoot he did.
