    This issue of 100Eyes is dedicated to an American Dream, although a dream a bit darker, and perhaps vague. The term itself is refracted through the images in the magazine, having a different meaning as the images evolve, and the meaning of the language changes as do the pictures themselves. In some places the dream appears to be a nightmare, in others simply a facade, and in other simply an illusion. Once thought to be a family and a home in a suburban community, the American Dream now is perhaps more about fame, as Caleb Cole’s series of self-portraits asks questions about who we are, and of course, who we want to be.

    Granted, this isn’t such a terrible thing. We’ve spent many fun hours adding vignettes and blurred backgrounds to the spontaneous on-the-street images we captured with our iPhone’s 2-megapixel camera. (So the iPhone 3Gs has a 3MP camera. Big whoop.)

    After a while though, these apps get kind of boring and don’t do a lot to help your career as a photographer. There are, however, a few photo apps out there that seem to have the pro in mind. We’ve chosen the cream of the crop in our “Top Ten iPhone Apps for Photographers” list below.

    I was in my early 20’s the first time I went to the Atlanta Photojournalism Seminar. Times were different – we shot film, jobs were available, newspapers were robust, and my hair weave was rocking. Fast forward 15 years – film is almost obsolete, newspapers are hurting and my weave – well, lets pretend it never happened.

    This report is based on my use of the 645DF in Death Valley, comments and feedback from the other thirty attendees and instructors, and my own continuing tests and shooting once I returned from our Death Valley shoot. And, to answer the inevitable question up front – yes – I have ordered a DF camera upgrade based on this experience.

  • MarsEdit 2.4 – Red Sweater Blog

    As an indie software developer, one of the biggest challenges I face is keeping a schedule. A real schedule that means I’ll actually ship software every so often. When you work for somebody else, there’s usually somebody in charge of making sure that you stick to a schedule. These people usually have little concern for […]

    A new collection of images by Manhattan photographer Yasmine Chatila is causing quite a buzz throughout the city. That’s because “Stolen Moments” captures unaware New Yorkers during very private, very intimate times in their day, all played out in front of their apartment windows

    Having spent a lot of time with Mark Steinmetz’s books South East and Greater Atlanta, I was curious about the history and photographer behind the work. So I asked Mark for an interview, and much to my delight he agreed to it.

  • Customs Officer Threatens Photographer

    Do the usual laws not apply to Customs and Border Protection officers? There’s one in Tampa who thinks so. When Jay Nolan, a Tampa Tribune photojournalist, arrived at the scene of a three-car…

    When Jay Nolan, a Tampa Tribune photojournalist, arrived at the scene of a three-car crash today and took photos, he was detained for 15 minutes and his phone was confiscated. David Tipton, the Customs and Border officer involved in the crash, wanted Nolan to assure him the photos wouldn’t appear in the newspaper.

    mostly I found people struggling to survive widespread poverty and corruption; cultures ill-equipped as their environments undergo tremendous upheaval; places where people worry about their next meal, not issues like global warming or overpopulation.

    I am a photojournalist and don’t dream of doing anything else. I am fortunate and often overwhelmed as I document conflict, struggle and beauty. It’s all about discovery, on many levels – oftentimes personal.

    I’m usually wary of photo essays about poverty and drugs. Eugene Richards has unleashed a torrent of imitators, and the results are often voyeuristic and exploitative–unless there’s an underlying story, photos of depraved debasement do little more than serve as a vehicle for gawking at the unmentionables, grotesques without empathy. Benjamin Lowy’s “The Afghan High” does the opposite.
