Whose Eye? What Beholder?
via Thomas Hawk Digital Connection |: https://thomashawk.com/2011/05/on-flickrs-change-in-data-retention-policy-and-twitters-new-photosharing-service.html
I think this is great for a couple of reasons. First the leading player in the Twitter photo space twitpic is a total ripoff for photographers. When you use it you are giving them the right to sell your photos through some fine print in the TOS. Many people don’t read TOS agreements and twitpic doesn’t really advertise or clearly disclose that they can screw you over and steal your rights.

A Few Fuji X100 Tips
Almost two weeks ago, I had the chance to take a Fuji X100 out for an afternoon. After using it for a day and really getting a chance to get to know it, I took the plunge and bought the camera. Since then, I’ve learned a lot more about it. As I’ve used it, I’ve sorted some things that—at least for me—smooth away some of its rough edges.

Where the Streets Have No Children
Where the Streets Have No Children
A chance mention of a small Ecuadorean town with no children and a handful of old residents set Santiago Arcos on a mission to document its dwindling life.

The tail end of a radio report stayed with Santiago Arcos from the moment he heard it one groggy morning five years ago. It was about a village in his native Ecuador, La Ciénega, a place that had no children.

Duane Michals : The Unknown Portraits – The Eye of Photography
Duane Michals’s poetic body of work, celebrated for its existential series, is filled with portraits shot both on commission and as part of his personal exploration of the genre. However, they represent only a small part of his oeuvre, appearing here and there in books and magazines. The current exhibition at the DC Moore Gallery in New York is taking a look back at this less obvious facet of the American’s work through a large selection of photographs depicting famous people and the photographer’s friends and family. The mostly black-and-white images are developed from negatives unearthed from Michals’ archives. Many of them are being exhibited here for the first time.

Ilan Godfrey: Legacy of the Mine « The Leica Camera
Born in Johannesburg in 1980, Ilan Godfrey is a South African photographer who devoted himself to an extensive photographic project on the mine, which is central to understand present-day South Africa and its history. This in-depth work gave birth to a book in 2013, “Legacy of the Mine“, where he especially questioned the entangled and dramatic consequences and impacts this larger economic machine has on the lives of people and communities and on the land. In the course of the interview, Ilan discusses how his approach evolved while working on the ground in close contact with communities and activists and gives insights of his collaborative working process.

Garum – Photographs and text by Antonio Gonzalez Caro | LensCulture
Every springtime, off the coast of southern Spain, fishermen gather to catch the bluefin tuna—the fiercest and most dangerous variety—using the ancient practice of “Almadraba
via LensCulture: https://www.lensculture.com/articles/antonio-gonzalez-caro-garum
“Almadraba” is the name given to a type of ancient fishing art that has existed since Phoenician times. Off the southern Spanish coast, in the springtime, the arrival of the migrating bluefin tuna is eagerly awaited. The bluefin tuna is the wildest, fiercest variety, with the largest specimens approaching 500 kg (~1,000 lbs.). This project shows fishing in Conil, Cadiz, during the 2013 fishing season.

Documenting Selma, From the Inside – NYTimes.com
Documenting Selma, From the Inside
The best-known images of the civil rights era were often dramatic and shocking, intentionally so, to jar a nation into action. But James Barker provided a quieter, insider’s perspective to the daily struggle.
via Lens Blog: http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/03/02/documenting-selma-from-the-inside-2/?module=BlogPost-Title&version=Blog
A timely new show at the Steven Kasher Gallery in New York, “Selma March 1965,” reminds us that not all civil rights photographs were created equal. Commemorating the 50th anniversary this month of the historic Selma-to-Montgomery marches, the exhibition features the work of three documentarians of the protests: James Barker, Spider Martin and Charles Moore.

Les Boutographies 2015 : Laurence Rasti, There are no homosexuals in Iran The 2015 Jury Prize – The Eye of Photography
Hundreds of Iranian homosexual refugees transit by Denizli, a small Turkish town, where they put their lives on hold while waiting to find a country where they can freely live their sexuality. In this context of uncertainty, where anonymity is the best protection, this work questions the fragile notion of identity and gender. It tries to give back to these people an image that their country has momentarily stolen.

The Allure of Dark Tourism – The New Yorker
The Allure of Dark Tourism
The French photographer Ambroise Tézenas travelled the world to document sightseers at Auschwitz, Chernobyl, and other disaster sites.
via The New Yorker: https://www.newyorker.com/culture/photo-booth/the-allure-of-dark-tourism
The French photographer Ambroise Tézenas was travelling in Sri Lanka when the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami struck, killing more than thirty thousand people on the island within minutes. Four years later, he came across a newspaper article explaining that a train from the disaster, still sitting where the waves had deposited it in the Sri Lankan jungle, had become a tourist attraction. Tézenas was perplexed that anyone could casually visit the remnants of the horror that he had witnessed first-hand. From this disconnect, he found inspiration: he travelled around the world to sites of historic calamity—from Rwanda and Auschwitz to Chernobyl and Dealey Plaza—to document their afterlives as destinations of so-called “dark tourism.”

Your Commute Is Beautiful, and Adam Magyar Can Prove It — Vantage — Medium
Your Commute Is Beautiful, and Adam Magyar Can Prove It
Techno-inspired portraits from our invisible moments.
via Medium: https://medium.com/vantage/your-commute-is-beautiful-and-adam-magyar-can-prove-it-44bbc5b235ab
Maybe that’s why Adam Magyar’s work is so impactful. Using eye-grabbing photographic techniques, he stretches the fleeting moments spent in these interstitial spaces into sprawling, meditative strips of film and video. Even though waiting for the train can feel like an eternity, making it look like one is difficult. It actually allows us to contemplate a place many of us endure on our way to more interesting things.

Germany: Service by Platon at Jablonka Galerie – The Eye of Photography
“Service” took many weeks to develop but Platon’s enthusiasm for the project never faltered. He rose to each photographic challenge, no matter what difficulties a shoot presented. Like a house being built, stone by stone, the photographs were crafted into a sequence of spreads that in the end added up to an exceptional essay. Access was difficult, shoot times often limited, and making each spread unique instead of repetitive was a great challenge. In addition to portraiture for which Platon is well known, he took documentary images, and even some still-lives. In the end the New Yorker published a series 16 pages and won a National Magazine Award for it. Bravo Platon!

Searching for a Human Side in North Korea – Photographs by David De Vleeschauwer | LensCulture
A portrait of “the Hermit Kingdom”—a photographic effort to pierce the veil of mutual misunderstanding and find something human beneath the grandiose propaganda and widespread misinformation
via LensCulture: https://www.lensculture.com/articles/david-de-vleeschauwer-searching-for-a-human-side-in-north-korea
Lost in this sea of misunderstanding are, of course, the people of the country itself. Belgian travel photographer David de Vleeschauwer decided to visit the country with “an open mind and the belief that something human lies behind…despite negative reporting in the West.”

Tracing the Dark Roots of Border Smuggling | PROOF
Very few photographers have the gift of finding beauty within conflict. Photographer Dominic Bracco II believes that it’s important to humanize the individuals involved in violent confrontations. One of his photographs in particular illustrates this principle—a striking image of a murdered man and pregnant woman embracing in a dark vehicle in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. The image won him a second place prize in the 2011 POYi competition, bringing him international recognition.

Contemporary Iranian Photography : Babak Kazemi – The Eye of Photography
once something is posted or uploaded onto Facebook it becomes Facebook’s property. So if the original photographer uploaded the photo first onto Facebook and then others have taken it from there and uploaded it to their pages or profiles, this is legal and within policy, there’s nothing I can do about it unfortunately even if they are taking credit for the photos
