From Prison Photography:
The rodeo featuring the prisoners of Louisiana State Penitentiary, commonly known as Angola, is an old – even traditional – event in the Louisiana calendar. Damon Winter is one of many photographers that have covered the community event. It is a raucous spectacle that brings together populations in and outside of the prison.

From Commentary Magazine:
When new information about Americans who had cooperated with the Soviet KGB began to emerge in the 1990s, no individual case generated as much controversy as that of the journalist I.F. Stone, who had long been installed in the pantheon of left-wing heroes as a symbol of rectitude and a teller of truth to power before his death in 1989. Charges about Stone’s connections with the KGB have been swirling about for more than a decade, prompting cries of outrage among his passionate followers. Until now, the evidence was equivocal and subject to different interpretations. No longer.

From RESOLVE — the liveBooks photo blog:
As a follow up to his recent posts about transitioning from advertising and editorial to fine-art landscape photography, Brian Kosoff wanted to share the story of his first in-person presentation to a gallery from which he was seeking representation. That first meeting can be intimidating, no matter where you are in your career, so we hope you’ll gain some courage from seeing how one photographer weathered it successfully.

From Photo Attorney:
Some photographers shoot nudes, sexually explicit, and/or erotic photographs. If so, your work may come under the purview of a law known as “section 2257.” This law imposes some strict obligations that must be followed to avoid fines and penalties, including prison.

From The New York Times:
A reflection in a puddle on an airport tarmac or in a mirrorlike teleprompter. Silhouetted shadows on a chain-link fence. A cascade of empty metal bleachers. Not the stuff of ordinary political coverage. But Damon Winter, 34, had never before covered a presidential campaign. So maybe he didn’t know how many rules he was breaking as he followed Senator Barack Obama. But that approach worked, and he received the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for feature photography.

From State of the Art:
The 2009 Pulitzer Prize winners were announced today. In the Feature Photography category, Damon Winter of the New York Times won for his “memorable array of pictures deftly capturing multiple facets of Barack Obama’s presidential campaign.”
In the Breaking News category, the award went to Patrick Farrell of the Miami Herald for coverage of Haiti in the aftermath of Hurricane Ike. The jury called Farrell’s work “impeccably composed images of despair.” The photo below shows four-year old Veronica Lonis, malnourished and weighing 16 pounds.

From Visura Magazine:
It came to me in a dream… I was laying in bed one morning and three images from a story in Brazil flowed through my mind’s eye like a cinematic strip. This idea of three images… seeing in threes… became a focal point for combing through my more than twenty years of images, looking for the visual connections, visual language and visual poetry of three.

From dvafoto:
Brian Ulrich can’t believe he’s alive because he’s just been named a 2009 Guggenheim Fellow. Other photographers awarded the fellowship this year, most previously unknown to me: Thomas Joshua Cooper (examples), Osamu James Nakagawa, Suzanne Opton (you may have seen her Soldier Billboard Project), Anna Shteynshleyger, Cheryle St. Onge, and Byron Glen Wolfe (can’t find anything online for Wolfe…).
