A cryptographic system used by Canon to ensure that digital images haven’t been altered is flawed and can’t be fixed, according to a Russian security company that specializes in encryption.

Julio Mitchel, 68, would be the first to admit that he is a bit prickly and has not been adept at managing his photographic career. His name is not branded. He doesn’t have a blog. There are no camera company sponsorships. And he doesn’t have gallery or agency representation.

Fred Ritchin lays out how digital universe allows us to reorder content as and when we please (a contact sheet has an order; digital files can be swapped about, deleted). He posits that along with the demise of analogue technologies, analogue thinking has disappeared.
PhotoShelter is great for creating tons of online content, but sometimes you want a different way to highlight your best images and galleries. The Portfolio option makes it easier than ever. It’s also a great way for photographers who do a lot of commissioned work to present their best images to prospect for new work while delivering current projects in private galleries.

Flickr might be a fun place to share your photography with the world, but it’s not a tool for business. If you’re starting to get serious with your images, and if you’re interested in the possibility of making money from your craft, then you may want to consider “graduating from Flickr.”

This may seem obvious, but I think the biggest thing that I learned is to not bore the editors. At that level of editing, they’ve pretty much seen it all. What they want to see is something they haven’t seen.
Apple is hosting a “Back to the Mac” event October 20th. The invitation promises “a sneak peek of the next major version of Mac OS X.” If I know my big cats, and the picture above is any indication, it looks like OS X 10.7 will be codenamed “Lion.” We cou

The extent of global and localized control this plug-in provides is truly remarkable, which combined with its ease of use, reversibility and image quality, make it a “must have” application for those working extensively in B&W and needing complex effects.
Earlier this year, we wrote about a new app for Apple’s mobile devices called ShutterSnitch. At the time, we’d only just installed the US$7.99 app that receives and displays pictures wirelessly on an iPad, iPhone or iPod touch, moments after they’re shot. Fast forward a few months and ShutterSnitch – coupled with the iPad in particular – has become as essential to our photographic workflow as a 70-200mm lens or Photoshop. Here’s why, plus tips on establishing a reliable connection between a camera transmitter (including an Eye-Fi card) and ShutterSnitch.

Because of technological advances, newspapers can make more scientific decisions about allocating their resources.

Now, because of technology that can pinpoint what people online are viewing and commenting on, how much time they spend with an article and even how much money an article makes in advertising revenue, newspapers can make more scientific decisions about allocating their ever scarcer resources.

I managed to snag a few moments (over email) with Jason Cone, executive producer of the Starved for Attention films and MSF’s Communications Director based out of New York, and Ron Haviv, one of VII’s founding members. I wanted to ask the two about how NGOs and photographers work together, how a campaign such as this is produced, and how NGOs and journalists work to get stories out to a wide audience within such a fractured media environment.
