Today marks the beginning of a new holiday in which I am sure will catch on … or not. I hereby declare that January 9 will hence forth be referred to as Tri-Xmas Day. The premise of this holiday is to photograph personal settings on black and white film throughout the year and then save it all to be developed during the days leading up to Tri-Xmas Day. And on the 9th, you present your gifts to the world.

Please Help – Truth With a Camera Workshop
In Spring 2008, photojournalists Stephen M. Katz and Christopher Tyree visited St. Vincent’s Home for Handicapped Children in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti, as part of a documentary project for the Virginia-based nonprofit Physicians for Peace. Seeing so many children in need – so many the outside world was not even aware of – frustrated and inspired the photographers. In that moment, Wéyo, which is Haitian Kréyol for “see them,” was born. Wéyo is the administer of the Truth With A Camera Workshops.

Miroslav Tichy Show at International Center of Photography – NYTimes.com
An Ogling Subversive With a Homemade Camera (Published 2010)
Miroslav Tichy, a Czech who took pictures during the 1960s and ’70s in his hometown, Kyjov, now has a solo show at the International Center of Photography.

The photographs are blurry, skewed, badly printed and in terrible condition: dog-eared, scratched, spotted and encrusted with who knows what. They all show girls and young women, in streets and public parks, going about their business and mostly unaware of the camera.

PicScout and PhotoShelter Are Partnering
PicScout has pioneered a digital fingerprinting technology called PicScout ImageIRC™ (index, registry and connection platform). Image buyers and creative pros who use PicScout’s ImageExchange™ browser add-on see an (i) icon on every fingerprinted image, anywhere it resides online. Anytime a potential buyer is perusing blogs and social networks, news sites, and even search engine results and encounters an image fingerprinted by PicScout, they see the (i), can click for more information, and click to your website to immediately license or purchase the image. Starting today, 8 million images that are priced for online sales by PhotoShelter photographers will begin the fingerprinting process through PicScout. PicScout makes image buyers happy because the search for new photography that’s ready to license is easier than ever. ImageExchange gives them a path to buy it directly from the content creator on PhotoShelter. PicScout makes photographers (and other visual artists) really happy too, because they now have a new way to attract new buyers, regardless of where their content may reside online.

AMERICANSUBURB X: THEORY: "Lee Friedlander – Just Look At It" (2005)
Lee Friedlander: “Just Look At It” (2005)
By Rod Slemmons
Lee Friedlander was born in the logging mill town of Aberdeen, Washington in 1934. He began photographing in 1948 because of a “fascination with the equipment,” in his words. His first paid job was a Christmas card photograph of a dog for a local madam named Peggy Plus. He later a

It has become increasingly difficult to see photographs as the visible world has been almost completely plastered over with lenticular representations of itself. Strangely, as the photograph becomes the world, it disappears — or perhaps more accurately, it loses its informative opacity

AMERICANSUBURB X: THEORY: "Modern Sublime: The World of Josef Koudelka"
“I try to be a photographer. I cannot talk. I am not interested in talking. If I have anything to say, it may be found in my images. I am not interested in talking about things, explaining about the whys and the hows. I do not mind showing my images, but not so much my contact sheets. I mainly work from small test prints. I often look at them, sometimes for a long time. I pin them to the wall, I compare them to make up my mind, be sure of my choices. I let others tell me what they mean. [To Robert Delpire] My photographs, you know them. You have published them, you have exhibited them, then you can tell whether they mean something or not.”

AMERICANSUBURB X: INTERVIEW: "Interview with Joel Meyerowitz – Creating A Sense of Place" (1990)
An Interview with Joel Meyerowitz – Creating A Sense of Place
“There is a dawning awareness that you feel good in this place. Something here makes you attentive, brings you to an awakened state. But you can’t know that beforehand.”
Interview by Constance Sullivan, from Creating A Sense of Place, Smithsonian Institution Press, 1990

I went because I was undergoing some changes in my life in terms of questions I was asking about photography, and there were certain things I had to give up, and I had to be ruthless about it. In order to do that I had to work away from New York City for a while. I knew that the time and work that a view camera required did not allow me to work in a big city in the same way that I had worked with a 35mm camera. So I had to abandon that notion completely and take myself to a place where life was simple, where life moved more slowly, where there was a chance to use this tool and to see differently. I had no idea what it was going to look like. I even kidded myself thinking I would go to Provincetown and work on the street, because it was busy, but smaller, I thought it was manageable. I hardly made any pictures on the street. Everything else seemed to call to me. And I believe these things are related in part to the instrument we choose to work with. An 8 x 10 camera isn’t for horse races. You do what it tells you to do.

PDN: What Makes A Good Mentor?
Who was your mentor? Many responded with stories of experienced photographers who had generously shared their knowledge and thoughts about photography, creativity, how to run a business or simply how to make a life as a freelance photographer. We learned that in taking the time to teach a fellow photographer, they not only helped an up and comer, they also learned something themselves.
