    This seems to be a month for anniversaries. Last week (the 4th) marked the 30th anniversary of the taking of the US Hostages in Tehran, an …

    I can’t begin to describe the joy that those few days of liberation felt like in Berlin. The sparkle of discovery in the eyes of the Osties was something I’d never seen before.

    Like Wal Mart, or Target, Getty works for Getty and no one else. They are not around to help this and that photographer, or collection. They are not around to help the MLB or NHL or Soccer league succeed in their photography needs but the opposite. All images providers to Getty are in to make Getty succeed.

    Yes. I can’t imagine any other place to go. As long as I’ve had a camera it has been my dream to work at the New York Times. It seems in the current climate of photojournalism the New York Times is the best place to be right now.

    Magnum’s Georgian Spring is an incredibly interesting project, and possibly a turning point in photojournalism and agency work. This book, print, web and ‘multimedia’ project is a collaboration with the Georgian state itself, funded by the Ministry of Culture and arranged by photographer Thomas Dworzak with Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili, and independently curated by publisher Chris Boot.

    Whether photographing a shoe factory in China, a rock quarry in Portugal or a copper mine in Chile, Edward Burtynsky creates images that use scale to consider the magnitude of human industry and its impact on the landscape. “To me, what’s interesting as art is to begin to define that theater of industry that is almost beyond our imagination,” Burtynsky says.

    I’ve been debating a bit on whether or not to post this one – but I think it’s necessary – so here goes:

    New technology is great.  It allows us to do things we previously thought impossible.  It empowers us to “push the envelope” if you will.

    That being said, one of my favorite axioms came to mind after I read the PDN Article at left, namely: “Just because you can – doesn’t mean you should.”

    Seconds2real is an international collective of street photographers. Our muses are found predominantly in public spaces. We document every day life on streets and squares, always on the lookout for the special in the usual
    – the mystery of the moment.

    For us a good street photographic image encloses the following qualities:
    – interesting
    – from a real, public and everyday surrounding
    – well observed, documentary and authentical
    – mostly direct and near
    – grasps a certain aspect or decisive
    moment of an exemplary scene
    – the content is more important than
    technical circumstances
    – will mostly contain people, however, it
    does not mandatory have to

    Take the 12.2 Megapixel Sony-fabricated sensor that’s likely the same one found in the Nikon D300, put it in a pocket-sized Leica-designed body with a Leica 24mm f/2.8 Elmarit lens, have someone else build it but complete the assembly and testing in Solms, Germany, and what do you have? The Leica X1, if course.

    Truth With A Camera workshops is pleased to announce and open registration for the next workshop which will take place in Quito, Ecuador from January 9-17, 2010. Registration is now open, and typically the workshops have filled up fast.

    With a population of 2 million people, the capital of Ecuador is one of the most modern in the country, although the presence of social inequality and the urban poor remain powerful reminders that thousands of people live below the line of extreme poverty.

    This will not be a vacation. During this intensive week, you will work with Ecuadorian students from some of the best universities from across the country. At the end of each day, you will edit your images with some of the leaders in the field of documentary photography from the U.S. and Ecuador. Your work will be shared with our partnering NGOs, which gives you the opportunity for your work to stand as a witness and defense of the lives of your subjects. It is an opportunity to strengthen your skills while donating your work to an NGO at the same time.
