These days, as a photographer, one strives constantly to not become a data center administrator. What with endless upgrades, updates, revisions, patches, security alerts, subscription management, feed management and the like, it’s a wonder that we have any time left to actually take and create photographs. Consequently, subjects such as backing up one’s data usually fall to the bottom of the list in terms of priorities. Then, ensuring the integrity of the data is even farther down the list of things to do. As usual, one day we get the dreaded “can’t read Drive X”, only to throw up our hands in despair.
Rock ’n’ roll and photography need each other — or, at least, rock musicians need photographers. You can’t be a star if you don’t have an image. But what makes a good rock photograph is something to ponder, and “Who Shot Rock & Roll: A Photographic History, 1955 to the Present” at the Brooklyn Museum offers an excellent opportunity to do so.

Koichi Mitsui is a professional photographer in Japan. When he’s not on the job shooting for magazines and ads, he wanders around Tokyo taking pictures with his iPhone 3GS. “The iPhone has a single-focus lens with no zoom, and this simplicity keeps me devoted to only composition and the perfect photo opp,” Mitsui says. Keep reading for a selection of his work with tips on how you can take amazing photos with your iPhone, too.
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.
Kirsten Wilmink recently graduated from the ArtEZ AKI Academy of Visual Arts in Photographic Design and is continuing her studies at the Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam. As a cross media designer Wilmink’s main focus is staged photography. Her graduation project, The Truth About Germans, depicts stereotypes and the existing prejudices about German people in which she used her own family members as models.
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.
With Phase One launching new versions of its Capture One software, we spoke to Claus Mølgaard, Vice President of Research and Development, to find out what’s new and to get a better understanding of the work that goes into providing RAW support for the
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.
One of the biggest trends at this year’s PhotoPlus Expo in New York City last week was the increasing popularity of small digital cameras with oversized imaging sensors.

Selina Maitreya called me up the other day to tell me about a new mp3 series she developed for photographers called “The View From Here.” I’ve heard good things from photographers who’ve worked with Selina so I checked it out. It all sounded very well done and informative but I thought it might be better for all of you if I just asked her a few questions, so you can gauge for yourself if you like where she’s coming from
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.
