So when I saw Bill Wadman’s 365 Portrait project, I realized what a huge undertaking it was for him to make a portrait a day for an entire year. That got me thinking about what I could do and I came up with the idea of making a portrait a day for 30 days of total strangers. 30 portraits in 30 days of 30 people I had never met before.
Because the seed of this project came from Bill, I thought it would be great to interview him while I’m doing the 30 Strangers project again and ask him about his own process, his reason for doing it, what he learned, and other such things. He graciously agreed. And so, here is an interview

I’d like to warn you that this footage has a relatively tight field of vision, and is quite a bit more graphic than some bombs-bursting style aerial attack video you may have seen before. Also seems worth noting that the pilots, if WikiLeaks’s annotations are correct, confused the camera held by Namir Noor-Eldeen, the 22-year-old photographer killed that day, for an rocket propelled grenade.

This week showcases Andrew Bush’s series, Vector Portraits. Project description, courtesy of Yossi Milo Gallery: “Begun in 1989, Andrew Bush’s series Vector Portraits was taken while the artist drove the city streets and freeways of Los Angeles. Either stopped in traffic or traveling at speeds of 20 to 70 miles per hour, the artist took portraits of other drivers using a medium-format roll-film camera and flash attached to the passenger side door of his car. Extended titles note particulars of speed, location or time with scientific precision while leaving other details unclear, such as “Man traveling southbound at 67 mph on U.S. Route 101 near Montecito, California, at 6:31 p.m. on or around Sunday, August 28, 1994”.”
iPads and other technology may save media, but old-media standards are being left behind.

Many media companies are often at odds with freelance writers and photographers over who owns the words and images once they have appeared in print.
What follows is an exchange of letters about a single picture. It was triggered by an e-mail from the photographer, George S. Zimbel, to Barbara Cox of Photokunst, a consulting firm for both individual photographers and archives, including The New York Times archives.
