The scanner traffic was intense, actually frightening to hear. And then that long, deadly silence.

Twenty Years After Apartheid
Twenty Years After Apartheid
Joao Silva came of age as a photographer as his native South Africa was navigating a treacherous path to democracy. Twenty years later, he reflects on what has — and has not — changed.

In a sprawling South African township stands a tall slab of polished stone etched with names of people killed in the political violence preceding the country’s first democratic elections. It is dedicated to those from Tokoza, where almost 1,000 people died violently some 20 years ago, and sits on Khumalo Street, the very road where many died.
Lost among the scores of the memorialized are my friends Ken Oosterbroek and Abdul Shariff.

Photographing on Ferguson’s Streets
Photographing on Ferguson’s Streets
Covering the unrest in Ferguson, Mo., has proved challenging as police restrict access and, in some cases, arrest journalists.
via Lens Blog: https://archive.nytimes.com/lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/08/14/photographing-on-fergusons-streets/
Whitney Curtis was not surprised by the outpouring of anger and emotion after a police officer killed Michael Brown, an unarmed African-American teenager in Ferguson, Mo. As a resident of St. Louis, she has long been aware of strained race relations in the area. What she did not expect, however, was to be caught in the middle of it.

The new force in photojournalism – Thoughts of a Bohemian
As we see with the events in Hong Kong, where an estimated tens of thousand people are in the streets, the first reaction was to shut down Instagram. It is a major shift. The Chinese government is now more afraid of the impact that a photo sharing site might have then a pro photographer working for Associated Press. And for a good reason.

Tri-X
My habit was becoming a bit expensive and I quickly learned that if I purchased the Tri-X film in a bulk 100-foot roll and hand loaded the film cassettes myself, it drove the film cost way down, doing the math I calculated it was around a penny per frame, wow 36 cents for 36 clicks, who would not love that?

Have You Started Shooting Yet? A Longterm Project is Finally Complete | PROOF
I’ve worked around the world for National Geographic magazine but the most elusive assignment for me has been just 50 miles from my home.
In the summer of 2006 I was commissioned to create a portfolio celebrating South Carolina’s ACE Basin. It’s a special place where three rivers and a community came together to preserve one of the last great watersheds.

Ready and Waiting for the Moment to Unfold
In the run-up to the Iraq invasion, Ruby Washington went to the United Nations hoping to find a different kind of image. She found it when Secretary of State Colin Powell was handed a note.

The people of New York are what drew me to photography. The medium itself only played a supportive role. When I moved to New York City in 1997, my favorite thing to do was ride the subway. Each subway car seemed to hold a distillation of the world’s diversity, and that was an unusual setting for me. I was raised in a suburb of Syracuse, New York, in a homogenous school district, and although I had lived in Washington, D.C. and San Francisco before I moved to New York, I wasn’t used to being so engaged by humanity.
