If you get too (or completely) distracted by Trump, either through offendedness or amusement from the farce, you’re going to miss the deeper take-away here.
Of course, of course, the photo shoot, like Trump himself, is total kitsch. And credit to TIME, I guess, for being so Trump-ish themselves, running with a concept that is not just cheesy-cheap, but thoroughly unoriginal. Just Google image “Trump” and “eagle” and you’ll see how many dumb GIF’s and cheap t-shirts have already mated these feathers.
Are they gangsters? Are they bankers? There are certain photographs that seem to have been pulled out of the world of dreams. ‘‘Men on a Rooftop,’’ by the Swiss photographer René Burri (1933–2014), is one such picture
By the Fall of 1991, I was firmly established as The Bakersfield Californian’s “night photographer,” working the evening shift exclusively. The shift was not popular with the othe…
Getting called to work early was not very common back then. We had a decent sized photo staff – nine people – so that indicated something big was going on. Casey answered my call and I remember him saying “Can you come to work early and head down to Los Angeles with Brad Turner? The Lakers are holding a press conference this afternoon. Something about Magic Johnson, but I don’t know what.”
Police say that a newspaper photojournalist was walking on Bryant Street at 11am on July 23rd with a second person when two suspects pushed him over from behind. As he fell over, they grabbed the “Canon 1D” DSLR camera (we’re guessing it was a $4,600 Canon 1D X) and lenses he had — a kit worth more than $9,300.
In surveying yesterday’s photo coverage, what I was looking and hoping for was imagery that got underneath the more stereotypal depiction of violence, anger and despair. Specifically, I was looking for pictures that captured some of the complexity and even the mundane intractability of Ferguson’s difficulties.
The magazine had to navigate a range of ethical, journalistic and design challenges. For instance, is it fair to publicly accuse a person when he/she has not been charged? How would the magazine portray the women in still photographs? Even subtle decisions such as lighting, makeup and framing can affect reader impressions.
Mr. Pavlov and his partner, Aleksandr Kryukov, 32, are natives of Luhansk, a sprawling, industrial city of Soviet-era apartment blocks and coal-heated cottages that was seized by separatists and shelled last summer in the war between the Ukrainian Army and the rebel Luhansk People’s Republic. Then came months of blackout and economic blockade, and now a bleak future as a pariah state, cut off from Ukraine but not a part of Russia.
It’s all gone too, too soon. Just yesterday I was reflecting on the total impossiiblity that 46 (that would be forty plus six) years ago, I’d been camped out on the beach at Titusville, Florida, with about a million of my closest friends, awaiting with that combination of trepidation and excitement, the launch of the behemoth Saturn V rocket which would take the Apollo XI astronauts to the moon, land ON it, launch themselves back into lunar orbit, and then come home.
Public canings for “immoral acts” have been on the rise in Aceh, the only province in Indonesia allowed to implement Islamic sharia law. Nurdin Hasan offers a first-hand account of one such caning in the provincial capital Banda Aceh.
Their role is not of a superhero seeking to rescue every single victim. These are for the all-volunteer policemen, firefighters, military. The photojournalist is a reporter who’s role is to prevent our society from creating more victims, one photograph at a time.

Fresco wants to change the way the news is made. The New York-based company’s app creates a feed of news stories connected to photos taken by its network of users who happened to be at an event as it’s unfolding. This week it will be updated with a new feature, Fresco Dispatch, which lets news services use GPS to send requests for coverage to Fresco users in the area of a breaking story.
We knew there would be ugly scenes, as Greece said it was opening its beleaguered banks for three days to allow elderly people to draw cash. People shoving, yelling in anger at hapless bank employees. In six long years of crisis, we have seen images like this any number of times. It’s sad. But it’s the reality and your job is to record it.
Today, women have distinguished themselves covering stories that not too long ago were dominated by men. Some still are. Yet it made me wonder how my colleagues now see the field, given what they endured.
