    Kitsune Noir says:

    Mr. Lamarca has an absolutely uncanny eye for taking photos, making images that are almost magical. His Forest Defenders series is beautiful, featuring people from both sides of the issues, the loggers and the people desperate to stop them

  • New York Photo Festival 2009 In Review

    photographylot says:

    The New York Photo Festival occurred last weekend and I spent most of the days checking out all the exhibits and tending to my own little contribution in the form of an affiliated exhibition with myself and 25 other photographers

    Boing Boing says:

    There’s a great show at the SFMOMA now, showing all 84 prints from Robert Frank’s classic mid-1950s photo book The Americans, along with some outtakes, such as the image shown above—which is not in the book.

    Wired.com says:

    “We’ve evolved for 5 billion years just to do what we needed to do to be alive … and we can see 30 to 50 things a second,” said Jeff Lieberman, co-host of Time Warp. “With high-speed cameras we can see a million things a second, and we’re looking at everyday things and seeing an entire world that exists underneath.”

  • NYPH ‘09

    Horses Think says:

    Like most photographers living in New York, I definitely made a point of checking out what the New York Photo Festival had to offer this year. I attended the exhibits and sat through a couple of artist talks and a panel discussion. The festival this year was larger and seemed to have a lot more going on, which is not necessarily a good thing.

    Although there were highlights and events certainly worth talking about, I have to say that in the end I was kind of disappointed.

  • Quo vadis, New York Photo Festival?

    Conscientious says:

    This year’s New York Photo Festival was the second of its kind, after a maybe slightly messy, certainly not perfect, but clearly extremely promising start last year.

    From what I gathered before coming to New York, expectation certainly were higher than last year. From what I gathered while being in New York, there was a clear and across-the-board sense of disappointment.

  • Photographer Banned by Blurb Books

    A Photo Editor says:

    Photographer Jonathan Saunders found out like most people (I know we’ve covered this ground before) that Blurb Books are completely hit-or-miss in the quality of the final product.

  • Every Once in A While

    alittletoofast.com says:

    He did not disappoint. Jimmy Koh and his wife (who’s name I didn’t get) are possibly the coolest camera shop owners in the world. Jim and Chris at Pro Photo Supply in Portland, I’m sorry, to the crazy Orthodox guy at B&H who always scolds me for not going to Shabbat services, YOU SO LOSE. You might be fun to tell stories about but Jimmy Koh is the bomb.
    This guy LOVES CAMERAS. He loves Rolleiflexes, he loves Leica’s. He has an AMAZING collection of these cameras. So good that you have got to take the LIRR out to Bellmore and get your ass over to his shop to check it out.

  • Gregory Crewdson

    Kitsune Noir says:

    Gregory Crewdson is a New York photographer who takes these amazingly surreal, production-heavy photos that evoke this really surreal and almost creepy feeling to them. The way he lights is photos is crazy, almost like a movie would be set up.

    Check under the cut for a video of him talking about his process as well as a behind the scenes of a shoot he did.

    I know that keeping a molding, crumbling building as is really isn’t possible, so that’s whay I photograph these places in their current state – sort of an architectural purgatory.

    A Picture’s Worth says:

    First of all, Ami Vitale might be the nicest person in the world.

    Secondly, she’s obviously one of the most talented photographers in the world (and the fact that she’s a PhotoShelter user makes it all the more sweet).
