Bob Patefield, an English amateur photographer, video-recorded an outrageous Terrorism Act stop-and-search in Accrington town centre last December, where he was stopped by a police community support officer (a kind of junior copper) who told him he was under suspicion of terrorism for taking pictures of the Christmas celebration — Santa Claus, a pipe band, and so on.
“How do you capture a nation?” Simon Roberts asked.
Here’s how he did it: with a 4-by-5 camera and a recreational vehicle. Mr. Roberts traveled across England in 2007 and 2008, photographing his countrymen among green expanses, wide beaches and shifting skies.

Per Englund spent a couple of summers photographing Cape Town, South Africa and his photobook Life Geos On provides an investigation of the urban cultural landscape paired with a gritty introspection of the social scene. The book’s subtitle Snapshots from Cape Town, infers with the descriptive “Snapshots” text, an armature term that would indicate that this body of work is a non-professional collection of random photographs. It is anything but that.
OK, I admit it, I’m a little obsessed with French photographer, Patrick Taberna’s, wonderful images. Right when I think I need to move away from the square format, I come across work that inspires me and recommits me to my vision.
Tiger Woods’s public apologia was the latest installment in his love/hate relationship with the media. But even then he managed to enforce Tiger Rules.

“Doing a story on him was not an enjoyable journalistic experience, to say the least,” Mr. Tannenbaum said by phone. “The thing that it most reminded me of was the few times when I have had an assignment in Eastern European countries, and it was almost as if an attaché from Moscow had been assigned to me.”
Last Friday, even though there was seemingly much to discuss, Mr. Woods took no questions. Mr. Diaz and the rest of the news media that attended were parked a mile away in a Marriott hotel, watching a video feed.
Someday, you’ll be able to fit as much data in a small, square CompactFlash card as AT&T carries on its entire network in a week. In theory at least, version 5 of the CompactFlash standard will allow CF cards to hold 188 petabytes of data. By comparison,

A Samsung press conference is two things: Packed with reporters (the lines to get in can be hundreds of yards long) and packed with products. This last is no surprise, as Samsung is one of the world’s biggest manufacturers of anything that uses electricit
The NX10 us the first of Samsung’s EVIL cameras, bodies with electronic viewfinders and interchangeable lenses. These have no mirrors inside, so they’re small, but they still use big imaging chips for better quality, less noisy pictures.
Samsung’s new TL500 compact comes with a fast, wide zoom lens, and goes straight for the throat of Canon’s G11. The lens has a fairly pedestrian 24-70mm range (35mm equivalent), but the maximum aperture runs from ƒ1.8 to ƒ2.4. That means, at its fully-zoo

Quality cameras are about to get a whole lot smaller. Sony has revealed its plans for 2010, and alongside updates to the DSLR line comes a new interchangeable-lens compact to compete against the Micro Four Thirds format. Sony is using a larger APS-C senso
We wonder what Canon and Nikon will do about this. They’re certainly aware of the demand (I spoke to Nikon at CES and was told that there have been a lot of people asking about an EVIL camera), and both companies can easily squeeze one of their great APS-C sensors into a small body. In fact, Nikon used to make the rather good S-series of rangefinders.

Last week, a George Polk Award was given for an image of the violent death of an Iranian woman during protests last year. The man who first uploaded the video is anonymous, as are the man who captured the footage on a camera phone and the doctor who sent the video clip by e-mail with the message “please let the world know.” The uploader learned only last week that he had played a role in one of the highest honors in journalism, by reading an article about it on the Internet.

A banking scandal nearly bankrupted this tiny island nation (population: barely 300,000) little more than a year ago, but Iceland is considering a new vision: to become a haven for journalists and publishers by offering some of the most aggressive protections for free speech and investigative journalism in the world.
