There are SEVEN cameras in this image. What an intriguing image. It’s got a foolish mixture of activity that confuses the viewer: slapping; parrying; a sizable unperturbed bunch of by-passers…

Olympus has taken the lovely, popular and slightly flawed Pen EP-1 camera, tweaked it to to be more like Panasonic’s equally nice GF1, and in the process created a Frankenstein’s camera, a bloated monster that bears the same relationship to the EP-1 as Marlon Brando’s Colonel Kurtz bore to his Stanley Kowalski.
The pre-PMA announcements are hotting up, and Nikon has just released the details of its 2010 Coolpix lineup. Like most of the manufacturers compact camera ranges, this one offers a veritable confusion of models, so we’ll just hit the highlights here. Don
The first of the two standout models is the P100, a chunky, bridge-style camera which has Nikon’s new back-illuminated CMOS image sensor. This confusingly-named chips isn’t backlit like a computer screen. Instead, the internal wiring is moved behind the actual sensors, and the sensors now sit directly behind the micro-lenses and color filters. This ups the sensitivity significantly (in the range of +6db) and decreases noise. This means better pictures in low-light — now a Nikon hallmark. As a result, the P100 can shoot at up to ISO 3200 with its 10.3MP sensor.
My friend and former teacher Joe Cameron, in his post “H.C.-B. in Ink” last Friday, mentioned Ralph Gibson: But I also remember hearing the photographer Ralph Gibson suggest once that the deep rich black of printer’s ink came closer to…

Apropos your invitation I will respond by adding that now, 20 years later, the digital revolution is coming of age in the truest sense. We are beginning to understand exactly what the net does and does not do… Obviously many forms of communication and research have been massively enhanced via electronic media. However it seems that the photography book is holding strong. Very strong indeed. Let’s examine why this is the case.
Four amazing new pieces just posted by street artist SLINKACHU
Pam Spaulding started at the Louisville Courier-Journal & Times in 1972, a year after her internship at those newspapers. For over 30 years she has photographed one upper-middle class family as they raised three children and then as those children left home for lives of their own. All three of the children are now older than she was when she started this project. The family has never let her go. The book is called An American Family: Three Decades with the McGarveys.

“I wish I could bring you your coffee right now,” he told them, “but there are eight highly armed men attacking the building at this moment. And they are stealing the payroll. But that should blow over in half an hour, and the coffee man will be able to get in.”
So it was that Stephen Ferry, one of the guests, got his first taste of the real in magic realism, on his first trip to Colombia in 1995.

Tomorrow will mark three weeks since the massive January 12th earthquake in Haiti, and tent cities remain full, even as some businesses and factories are beginning to reopen in Port-au-Prince. Now that massive amounts of aid have arrived, distribution problems have cropped up and are being addressed. The World Food Program has begun a new system of delivering rice to 10,000 Haitians per day at each of 16 women-only distribution points around the city – restricted to women, since young men often muscle their way to the front of distribution lines, and the women are viewed as more likely to fairly divide up the food. Aid chiefs and donor nations are warning that Haiti will need at least a decade of painstaking reconstruction. (40 photos total)
