B: Jesse Marlow: What Was He Thinking?
This is one of my favourite street photos from the years that I shot B+W. The shop window had always caught my eye. It’s the Nike shop and is on the corner of Melbourne’s two busiest streets. An extra wide pavement here similar to the ones on Oxford Street, London gives great depth to street…

R.I.P. User-Generated Content: 2005-2008? – PDNPulse
What went wrong? Could it be that audiences simply don’t enjoy sifting through heaps of un-vetted garbage?

TrekEarth | Strangers in a train Photo
I’m not a huge gear head but the nice folks at Nikon Professional Services sent me a new toy (Nikon D3) to use for a while. So far, I think it’s the best camera I’ve ever shot with…yes…even better than the Leica M6…well..maybe. Check it out here.

Richard Bram – B
Richard Bram: Like the Angel, this one was a gift from the Gods. My wife and I were heading down the escalator at Bank Station to go to dinner. She saw the couple first and elbowed me. I had just enough time to focus and shoot one frame as the escalators quickly drew us together.…

The Year in Pictures: Wait to Walk
Today’s discovery is Florian Bohm. A 39 year old German living in New York, Bohm takes the familiar DiCorcian concept of modern color street photography, narrows it down to the single moment of people waiting to cross the street, and repeatedly nails it. He’s not breaking any new ground but the self-imposed restriction of photographing…

Gray Matters: Respect is a two-way street
“I have enough experience to know that a tight nit group governs any field within the photography industry, and that these experienced elders are the gatekeepers for access to the industry,” said Octavian Cantilli. “As such it makes perfect sense that they only endorse those that they both like and feel have talent.

SHANE LAVALETTE / JOURNAL » Blog Archive » Paul D'Amato: Barrio
Paul D’Amato has the above photograph in the Presumed Innonece exhibition that I just mentioned.

The photographs that D’Amato made in those fourteen years became increasingly intimate; he eventually grew to…
