Well, i am 36 years old and live in Berlin. I started to take pictures quite late when I was 18. Photography quickly became a kind of addiction for me and I spent most of the time either shooting or working in the darkroom. In the beginning the darkroom was a kind of magical place for me – the moment you start to see the first contours of a picture on what was a piece of white paper seconds before – fantastic. In todays digital world there’s nothing comparable to this.

Smooth, silky, smoky and gentle; as formal as you might expect from the painter he once wanted to be, Roy DeCarava’s photographs speak in a language far softer than we’re accustomed to now. They are no less powerful for their subtlety. They are meant to repay close study and they do.

Getting permission to shoot inside corporate headquarters did indeed take some convincing. In 1994, with the help of contacts from the Times, Tunbjörk got permission to begin shooting. Little did he know his office odyssey would span five years and three continents, leading him from Sweden to America to Japan , with stops at a car company in Tokyo, a telecommunications firm in Stockholm , a bank in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

One of the market leaders, both in the early days and still today, is Capture One from Phase One. It’s not inexpensive, and it’s not all that easy to learn and use. But C1 consistently produces raw conversions that are state-of-the-art, and as good as and often better than those from anyone else.

in some ways Kabul was Saigon. Westerners could drink wine and beer and eat Frenchified Afghan food while a rural insurgency gathered strength, moving from village to village, from areas where the Americans had added troops to areas where there were European troops who fought less aggressively or places where there were no troops at all.
And you would realize that sooner or later, the war would come to you.

The Forum meets informally. The gatherings are a mix of activities; between visits by photo luminaries and live presentation and critique of members work in open forum. These presentations have been quite revealing, as members show new projects in various stages of completion and open themselves up for review by their peers. I have seen some really interesting work, one of the standouts for me being that of emerging photographer Pari Dukovic who has a unique approach to his work and his process. At the last salon Pari debuted prints from his fab ‘Tasting Canvas‘ project. The web doesnt really do the prints justice. So in honor of the exhibits opening and curious to know more about the how I posed Pari few questions.

Of all the behind the scenes stuff we’ve showed in recent vids, the one techie thing that far-and-away led to the most questions from readers was the part in this video where I’m photographing X Games uber-skiers Simon Dumont, Colby James West, TJ Shiller, Peter Olenick, and Nick Heine in New Zealand using strobes at 8 frames per second. That’s right. Rail slides and 100 foot airs. 8 frames per second. Strobed.
I know why you had questions.
