Vincent Laforet’s Blog
Tomorrow is the big day. I fly off to Beijing (w/ an overnight layover for some kimchee in Korea) and am very much looking forward to setting foot in China for the second time. I went to Shanghai and Beijing in early 2001 with one of my best friends Harry How (who will also be covering the games for Getty Images.) A lot has changed since then – 9/11 happened a few months after our return and clearly the world has changed quite a bit since then. But mostly – I’m looking to see how China has evolved since my first visit.

shooting from the hip – Scott Strazzante
Scott Strazzante:Well folks, I’ve decided to add one more blog to the world.
In the past, I have blogged as part of my job as staff photographer at the Chicago Tribune. I have blogged from the Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece and from the Winter Olympics in Torino, Italy. I have sent dispatches from Super Bowl XLI in Miami and have kept a photo journal as a compliment to “The Season” photo column.
Now, I just feel that I need an outlet for work that at this point doesn’t have a home- my personal photos, outtakes, past unseen work and daily successes, near misses and total disasters.
I’m not sure how regularly I will post but i hope you get something out of it.

Shoot! The Blog – Shoot The Blog
Welcome to Shoot! The Blog. I am going to be taking the reins of this thing. I’m Rachel Hulin, and I’ve been primarily a photo editor for the past several years. Most notably, I worked at Rolling Stone online and Nerve.com. I’m also a photographer, which is, of course, the refrain of so many PEs. I worked at the International Center of Photography for several years after grad school before moving on to editing.

Giant Bomb » Blowing up this summer
Welcome to Giant Bomb: The Blog. It’s sort of like Alien 3: The Gun, only with more explosions and less track. After working on this in secret for as long as we have been, it’s totally exciting to be able to finally let you in on what we’ve been doing. I actually still haven’t gotten used to freely speaking the name of the site in public, or even typing it, really. It’s always been “The Site” or “The Thing I’m Doing” or “If Marion Cobretti Was A Website.”
So let me start by telling you what Giant Bomb is, and then I’ll briefly touch on what Giant Bomb will become. Right now, we’re opening up this blog, where myself and others will be writing about games, covering them in much the same way I’ve been doing on my personal blog for the past three months. Sometimes it will be off-the-cuff, sometimes it will be reasoned and well-thought-out. We’ll review games here, and we’ll talk about upcoming stuff, as well. We’ll occasionally chime in on the news that surrounds the game industry, both here in print, and in our podcast, which will grow out of the Arrow Pointing Down podcast that I’ve been doing with Ryan Davis for the past few weeks. Yes, we will still continue to speak our minds on the latest happenings in the beverage and snack food industries. Don’t you worry about that. We’ll talk about games there, too. Surprise!

Easing the Pain of Collecting – New York Times
Gabriele Stabile for The New York Times
JEN BEKMAN’S apartment is hardly what you would expect from a woman who has made herself a force in the art world in the last five years, building a photography and fine arts Web site that draws international collectors and earning an innovator-of-the-year title from American Photo magazine.
Then again, her narrow studio in the East Village vividly reflects the many unusual twists in her life — a testament to a talent for reinvention. -
