This past September, when nearly all the world’s leaders were in New York for a meeting of the United Nations, Platon, a staff photographer for this magazine, set up a tiny studio off the floor of the General Assembly, and tried to hustle as many of them in front of his lens as possible. For months, members of the magazine’s staff had been writing letters to various governments and embassies, but the project was a five-day-long improvisation, with Platon doing his best to lure the likes of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Hugo Chávez, and Muammar Qaddafi to his camera.

Showcase: Framed by Imagination
Roger Ballen’s style may bring to mind painters like Jean Dubuffet and Francis Bacon rather than the work of other photographers. His haunting, cramped images, as Kristen Joy Watts reports, thwart any expectations of a clear narrative.

Roger Ballen, 59, is a professional geologist, a “mineral explorationist.” For decades he traveled to nearly every African country looking for deposits of diamonds, clay, cobalt and coal.
“I think the most important issue is you looking at the picture, and the picture looking at you.”

The schools are tiny. The game is huge. – Collective Vision | Photoblog for the Austin American-Statesman
The small Texas towns of Gordon and Strawn, midway between Fort Worth and Abilene, are only eight miles apart. Their schools are so tiny they play six-man football because they don’t have enough boys to field regular 11-man teams. The townsfolk are crazy about football. For decades the two teams have played each other in one of the greatest rivalries in Texas sports.

I was in Manali for the Foundry Workshop. We had to find a subject for a multimedia photoessay as part of the workshop. Walking around the streets of Manali I was looking for something that I could connect to. And then after two days of aimless wandering around, I stumbled upon this monastery. There I saw this window which had scribbling and doodles etched with perhaps lipstick on it.

Fast forward to the present time and I am a proud owner of the Canon 7d. This incredible camera for its price range is a game changer as far as I am concerned. Previous cameras like the Canon5dmkII and the extremely compact Panasonic GH-1, though producing beautiful looking images, did not answer my wish for a new VDSLR workhorse, the problems being the 30p frame rate restriction and lack of a clean low light capability respectively.
