Photographer Toni Greaves was born and raised in Australia, lived in the UK and now splits her time between Portland and New York. Her career as an Art and Creative Director has helped shaped her design sense, and recently, Toni was named one of the “30 Emerging Photographers to Watch” by PDN Magazine. She has an extensive list of editorial clients and is known for creating exceptional documentary work that sees beyond what is immediately apparent.
Her Critical Mass Finalist series is titled, Radical Love, and it explores life within a cloistered monastic community.

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’m quite happy with my work as a commercial location photographer the last 18 years and thought I would add my two cents on the new Leaf Aptus II 10 back and my experiences and how I came to my decision. I went back and forth trying to rationalize the purchase of a high-end digital back the last several years. In the film days, I enjoyed shooting with my Leica Ms, Canon F1s and Eos 1’s, Hasselblad 203’s, Mamiya 7’s, Fuji GX617’s, Fuji 6×9 rangefinders, and Contax 645. I enjoyed shooting with all of these cameras for different reasons and I grabbed the best tool suited for different jobs. Plus I like variety.

When Type Was Poured Hot
In his new memoir, Harold Evans recalls an exuberant run in 20th-century journalism.
Link: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/15/books/review/Carr-t.html?partner=rss&emc=rss
Sir Harold Evans knows his way around a story, having served as the editor of The Sunday Times of London, The Times of London, and all manner of publications up and down the food chain. As the title of his new book, “My Paper Chase: True Stories of Vanished Times,” suggests, he describes an epoch past, an era in British journalism when type was poured hot, articles deemed unfit landed on an actual spike, and the men — and it was mostly men — who commanded all of it were literate buccaneers.

I have always had a fascination with Mt. Everest. There is just something about being on top of the world that is ever appealing. So when I finally decided fly to Nepal with two weeks notice, I knew that this birthday would be one to remember. Operation Everest Base Camp would commence with the intention to reach Base Camp on October 29, 2009. I will preface this by admitting that I have not seen the inside of a gym in more than 6 months and the last mountain I climbed was more than 3 years ago. But I was determined to trek and do so without a guide or porters.

I remember when I first came across Maria Luisa Morando’s exquisite work. It was in 2008 at Photo LA, in the photoeye Gallery booth. Her large, all white prints were framed in white and a contrast to the riot of imagery that surrounded it. The images were quiet, bleached out, as if looking at a dream, and I was completely transfixed. Whatever shapes or colors were able to emerge from the whiteness were like jewelry, tiny slivers of turquoise
