I simply want my photos to say something, tell stories, we live in a world that is extremely convulsed as to go through it in silence and in complicity with inequalities …
Seconds2real is an international collective of street photographers. Our muses are found predominantly in public spaces. We document every day life on streets and squares, always on the lookout for the special in the usual
– the mystery of the moment.For us a good street photographic image encloses the following qualities:
– interesting
– from a real, public and everyday surrounding
– well observed, documentary and authentical
– mostly direct and near
– grasps a certain aspect or decisive
moment of an exemplary scene
– the content is more important than
technical circumstances
– will mostly contain people, however, it
does not mandatory have to
collect.give, a place to collect contemporary photography and donate to worthy causes at the same time. The photographers featured on collect.give have pledged to donate 100% of the profits from their print sales to worthwhile causes they support. Each has offered a print for sale, and chosen their price and edition size. New photographs will be added to the site in coming months, so please bookmark collect.give, and visit us again!
This project was created to benefit Doctors without Borders. Connecting passionate photographers with a responsible charity and a reputable sponsor, creates a safe way to donate images for relief in Haiti and the world. Our photographers are world class and you will be purchasing these valuable images at a great price, simply because our artists want to help.
Mark Dubovoy is winging his way across the Atlantic (boy, are his arms tired), to attend the bi-annual Photokina show in Germany and report on it exclusively for The Luminous Landscape. He will be reporting on hardware, software and general developments of interest to our readers.
…will be updated continuously during the week of September 27 – October 1.
It’s no secret that I am drawn to the square format. I shoot with a Hassleblad, a twin lens Rolleiflex, a Holga and Diana. I recently purchased a Mamiya 7ii but haven’t fully welcomed it into the fold. So when I see square images, especially stunning ones, it makes me very happy. The other day, Christophe Dillinger shot me an e-mail to let me know about Square Magazine, and well, that made me even happier. And, or course, I wanted to know more.

For the past week or so I’ve been spending some time playing around with the photosharing site 500px and am really starting to like it. The site has been around awhile (since 2003) but went through some major redesigns, most notably in the Fall of last year. The result seems to be a very elegant photosharing community that is far more focused on fine art and artistic oriented photography than Flickr is.

Krulwich talks about how he has seen journalism change and issues a call for a new generation to “not wait” for their dream jobs and stories to come, but to go out and find them ourselves. For those of us who are trying to make a career this way, the advice and enthusiastic support is warmly welcome
