In Dubrovnik, compelling pictures of the war that tore apart Yugoslavia
If you’re in heading to Dubrovnik this summer, you might want to check out a cool museum that is often left off the usual tourist itinerary. It’s called War Photo Limited.
It’s a small space, located just a block up a small street that is off Dubrovnik’s main pedestrian thoroughfare. Sleek and modern, it’s full of creaky wood floors and exposed beams. But it is usually what is on display that makes a visit worthwhile.
This museum is dedicated to the work of the war photographer. Founded a few years ago by New Zealand photojournalist Wade Goddard, it’s only open half the year — May to October — and features usually two major exhibits. Past exhibits have focused on Iraq, Lebanon and the Muslim world. In a few months, one about child soldiers in Africa will arrive.

Home with the Hassy, and Christine Tran – Shoot The Blog
I think my interest in the home/square combo could very well have something to do with Christine Tran’s series, Homesick. I think I pretty much just want to take these pictures. Tran nails the nostalgia without it feeling treacly, and her narratives are lovely and filmic. I’m into those grays

Elevation Student Contest 2008 and Matt Lutton – Shoot The Blog
I am especially impressed with the breadth and quality of Matt Lutton’s work. Lutton has yet to receive his BA, and has made some incredible work about Seattle, the Balkans, and Kosovo. Check out his site. Moakley says he would already “definitely think about putting him on assignment. He seems excited to shoot anywhere.”

Wandering Light: Dong Truong Son
We drove for several hours today until we reached the Laos border. It was incredible to see a small checkpoint protecting the two borders. The people I was with told me there are many secret police in all of the border towns that report any suspicious activity along the border, such as illegal crossings.

SLC Monk: The Browns
I spent some more time with Russ and some with his family this evening. Russ was rummaging through his burnt down house for a while trying to find anything that survived the flames. A couple things of interest made it. The bible, Book of Mormon, Sim City CDs and some wedding photos.

Today's Pictures: In Memoriam: Burt Glinn, 1925-2008
Beloved Magnum photographer Burt Glinn passed away early in the morning on April 9. Born in Pittsburgh, Pa., Glinn served in the U.S. Army from 1943-46 before studying literature at Harvard University, where he edited and took photographs for the Harvard Crimson. From 1949-50, Glinn worked for Life magazine before becoming a freelancer. He covered Castro’s takeover of Cuba and the Sinai War and created extensive portraits of countries all over the world. One of the first Americans to join Magnum, Glinn became an associate member of the young photo agency in 1951 and a full member in 1954. He served as president of Magnum from 1972-75 and was re-elected in 1987. He is survived by his wife Elena, son Sam, and daughter Norma.

Alison on the Behance Network
When my daughter Alison was born, in the tradition of a new parent, I began to photograph her, initially in a separate and private body of work. However, in the process of documenting Alison’s growth, I developed a passionate interest in human relationships and capturing intimate moments in the lives of family and friends.

On the Trail with Shana Wittenwyler… and Hillary, Barack, Ron and John
Shana Wittenwyler sort of fell into covering the primary season. That is to say, she started off in Florida shooting Ron Paul at the Republican debates for the Irish rag Mongrel Magazine, and ended up a few months later on assignment for the New York Times in Missouri. In between, she was in Iowa and South Carolina.
A freelancer, Shana didn’t mean to cover politics in particular. Since her graduation from the Photojournalism program at ICP in 2005, she has shot all sorts of features for Fortune, The Chicago Tribune, Rolling Stone, and others. But she found herself hooked on the excitement of the Ron Paul campaign when in Florida, and didn’t want to stop taking pictures. So, as a photojournalist, and a broke one at that, Shana started to contact politics editors. But you can’t call up the Times and tell them you want to shoot a campaign for them; it’s a hell of a process.
