At least eight bullet holes were visible in the passenger side of Yunis’ vehicle. His neighbors said they counted four gunshot wounds in his torso. Windows on that side of the car were shattered, and broken glass was sprinkled on the seats and floor.
“Why are these Americans killing innocent people? What was his crime?” asked Arif Khan, 30, a shopkeeper who attends the mosque. “He has so many children, his brother has already passed away, he is taking care of his brothers’ children, too. Who will take care of them now?”
Worth’s experiment was to see if he could make money by giving his pictures away, emulating Doctorow’s business model in which his CC licensed works circulating online publicize and drive the sales of his books. While the images could be freely copied, etc., Worth offered 111 editioned prints together with 111 signed pages from a manuscript of Doctorow’s upcoming book “For the Win” on Etsy at sliding prices
USA Today photographer Jack Gruber posted on his Facebook page on Jan. 23 that “the light from his iPhone helped deliver a baby in the totally dark outside triage area of Port au Prince General Hospital last night.”
“The photographs for Suburbia weren’t done by accident. I put together a shooting script of events that I wanted to photograph… Christmas, Thanksgiving, Fourth of July, Birthdays, et cetera.”
In 1972, while a news photographer for the Livermore Independent, Bill Owens made the photographs that comprise Suburbia. Initially presented in a 1973 volume entitled, Suburbia, they have since been exhibited in museums and galleries in Europe and North America and become the classic photographic description of the American suburban dream.
“In an attempt to conceal my mistake I submitted false images and deleted other images. I sincerely apologize for my lapse in judgment and I take full responsibility for my actions which were mine alone,” Fairey wrote in a statement on his Web site.
“I wanted to share a project with you that I started over the past month with my father. My dad Larry Nicholson was a commercial photographer in Kansas City for many years and I started working through his archive and posting my weekly findings on a website. As you will see my dad shot a little bit of everything from knights to circus elephants. I thought you might enjoy it.”
Following Matt’s lead, I’ve collected a few of my favorite photos of mine from 2009. It was a relatively good year, with a few assignments, corporate shoots, other gigs, and an award and exhibition or two.
The Museum of Modern Art will present Henri Cartier-Bresson: The Modern Century, the first major retrospective in the U.S. in more than 30 years of one of photography’s most original and influential masters, from April 11 through June 28, 2010.
That’s when I’m off to the street. Oooh. I didn’t know where I was. People were crazy, moving up and down. Looked like bombardment from cruise missile.
People were panicked, really. They were all over the place. I started taking pictures. And I walk all the way to the end of the avenue. And I shot eight gigs of photos. I shot until the night.
The photographer Harry Diamond, who has died from a brain haemorrhage aged 85, captured the “faces” of bohemian Soho in the 1960s and 70s. He frequented the London watering holes favoured by artists including Lucian Freud and Francis Bacon, and soon became known as the “man in the mac” who was always carrying a camera.

I can tell you why the “frugal” Time cover written up in the previous post was such a bad harbinger for our industry. The going rate for a Time cover shoot—just the shoot, regardless of whether it was published or not—used to be $4,000 plus expenses. That was the flat fee—for Dirck Halstead, David Byrne, or even Andy Warhol. Of course, that doesn’t mean you couldn’t get as creative with your expenses as you could with the actual imagery!
PART ONE OF A SERIES OF POSTS DISCUSSING PHOTOGRAPHERS’ ACTIONS AND RESPONSES TO THE KILLING OF FABIENNE CHERISMA IN PORT-AU-PRINCE, HAITI ON THE 19TH JANUARY 2010. “The question is not…
There is a chance that Fabienne Cherisma could become a symbol of the Haitian earthquake and the problematic aftermath; that she become a tragic silhouette extending meaning far beyond the facts of her abrupt and unjust death.
This notion can be at once offensive and inevitable. If the visual rhetoric is going to play out as such, then if it is not Fabienne, it will be another victim.
What purpose could the emergence of a such a symbol serve?
Imagine every one of your PhotoShelter galleries that you care most about is showing up on the first page of Google Search results for their chosen keywords. Impossible, you say? Not so, according to John Lander, who is accomplishing this by using social media sites such as Twitter, Facebook, LinedIn and StumbleUpon as the main ingredient in his SEO-boosting recipe.
As I was driving through northern Thailand along the Mekong River I kept thinking about my time in Springfield, Illinois. There was nothing different from what I was doing now. Obviously, my current assignment was much more interesting to me, but if I traded places with that of a Thai photojournalist, I’m sure his interests would be equally as peaked.

“We’re the freebie newsletter that comes with your HBO,” sniffed one Newsday reporter.
Mr. Jimenez was in no mood to apologize. “That’s 35 more than I would have thought it would have been,” said Mr. Jimenez to the assembled staff, according to five interviews with Newsday staffers.
