Animal Logic, Barnes’s first monograph, collects four related species of his photographic work that touch on themes relevant to science, history, archaeology, and architecture. Through his lens, sights and objects normally hidden from public view—half-installed dioramas, partially wrapped specimens, anatomical models, exploded skulls, and taxidermied animals in shipping crates—take on a strange beauty

For his latest body of work, Larry Sultan hired Mexican day laborers as actors and subjects in his photographs, which he made on the outskirts of Southern Californian suburbs. He found these illegal laborers outside a nearby strip mall where hundreds of men wait day by day to be picked up for hourly work. Sultan directed the men’s actions and gestures while drawing from his own memories of home life and interpretations of their experiences as exiles.

I always have problems coming up with gifts, so this year, I thought I’d help you out with some of my favorite tools of the trade. Now, now. no need to get them for me because I already have them. This is not some sort of shill list for our partners — these are things I purchased and use (well, with the exception of the last item on the list…feel free to gift that to me).

From snapshot to Special Branch: how my camera made me a terror suspect
Casual shots of London’s Gherkin attract stop and search just days after police were reminded street photography is no offence
via the Guardian: http://www.theguardian.com/uk/2009/dec/11/snapshot-special-branch-terror-suspect
It felt like a minor terror alert. Four security guards were watching me, whispering into microphones on their collars. A plainclothes police officer had just covered my camera lens, mentioned the words “hostile reconnaissance” and told me I would be followed around the city if I moved.

Showcase: On the Beach
Wayne Lawrence tries to bring his subjects’ hidden spirits to the surface. They stare through the camera, Candice Chan writes, with a story just behind their lips.
via Lens Blog: http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/12/28/showcase-98/
Tiffany was photographed at Orchard Beach in the Bronx by Wayne Lawrence, 34, who strives to bring his subjects’ hidden spirits to the surface. They all stare right through the camera, straight at you, with a story just behind their lips. Mr. Lawrence can evoke these memories because he carries his own story with him, close to his heart.

Link: https://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/28/business/media/28paywall.html
Newspapers, including this one, are weighing whether to ask online readers to pay for at least some of what they offer, as a handful of papers, like The Wall Street Journal and The Financial Times, already do. Indeed, in the next several weeks, industry executives and analysts expect some publications to take the plunge.

It’s just about a year since I visited Michael’s gallery in Toronto and was exposed (excuse me) to the Sony A900 for the first time. He was a bit like the serpent in the Garden of Eden – he tempted me with his own gear and I subsequently sinned most grievously and bought an A900 system too.
This article is an examination of the fruits of my sin after one year and over ten thousand shots. Was it worth it? What worked well, and what not so well? Would I do it again?
