Reuters Photographs of the Violence in Ivory Coast
From Bloody Conflict, a Trial Begins
The Reuters photographer Finbarr O’Reilly on covering the conflict in Ivory Coast.
via Lens Blog: https://archive.nytimes.com/lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/11/30/from-a-bloody-conflict-to-the-hague/
Covering the bloody conflict was hard. Mr. Gbagbo’s thugs and militant Young Patriots were violently opposed to any Western influence, which also meant foreign journalists. Reuters relied heavily on the Ivorian photographers Luc Gnago and Thierry Gouegnon to navigate through the local tensions, but often even they could not cover Gbagbo rallies without risk. An important photo of Mr. Gbagbo, defeated and grim-faced in the Golf Hotel room, was obtained from an Ivorian photographer who had been trapped there with Ouattara and his besieged entourage for weeks as food and water ran out (Slide 10). He still does not want his name used for security reasons.

2011: The Year in Photos, Part 1 of 3
2011: The Year in Photos, Part 1 of 3
via The Atlantic: http://www.theatlantic.com/infocus/2011/12/2011-the-year-in-photos-part-1-of-3/100203/
2011 was a year of global tumult, marked by widespread social and political uprisings, economic crises, and a great deal more. We saw the fall of multiple dictators, welcomed a new country (South Sudan), witnessed our planet’s population grow to 7 billion, and watched in horror as Japan was struck by a devastating earthquake, a tsunami, and a nuclear disaster. From the Arab Spring to Los Indignados to Occupy Wall Street, citizens around the world took to the streets in massive numbers, protesting against governments and financial institutions, risking arrest, injury, and in some cases their lives. Collected here is Part 1 of a three-part photo summary of the last year, covering 2011’s first several months

Best of 2011 | Sports
I also learned to work light – in two ways. First, while I’ve always been a chaser of color and nice light, my goal for the short year was to exploit every opportunity I had to work the aforementioned. Last year, I found myself converting everything in post, not so much this year. And second, I learned to ditch the extra gear and work with the bare minimum.

He had been living like the typical artsy expat in the center of San Miguel de Allende when he decided to uproot himself and buy a small house on the outskirts of town. There, he began doing portraits of his Mexican neighbors, starting with Isabel, the matriarch of a large family who lived on the other side of his back wall.
“People ask how you light those,” he said. “I don’t — they’re all natural light. You can’t beat that.”

This week, while Mr. Ríos Montt is under house arrest, Ms. Simon is reprinting her book “Guatemala: Eterna Primavera, Eterna Tirania,” a chronicle of the worst of the war years that builds upon her 1988 volume “Guatemala: Eternal Spring, Eternal Tyranny.” This time, she has raised $20,000 through Kickstarter to help produce 4,000 copies on glossy stock and with sewn bindings that will be sold for about $10 each. More important, she has set aside some 1,000 copies to be given away to schools and teachers in Guatemala.

Teenie Harris’s World (8 Photos)
For over 40 years Charles “Teenie” Harris documented life in and around Pittsburgh’s Hill District for the influential black newspaper the Pittsburgh Courier. Affectionately called “One Shot” due to the brisk manner in which he photographed his subjects, Harris spent as much time shooting the everyday people of the neighborhood as he did the famous people who visited it. With close to 80,000 negatives in his archive, he is said to have best captured the urban African-American experience during the 20th century.
