PicScout has pioneered a digital fingerprinting technology called PicScout ImageIRC™ (index, registry and connection platform). Image buyers and creative pros who use PicScout’s ImageExchange™ browser add-on see an (i) icon on every fingerprinted image, anywhere it resides online. Anytime a potential buyer is perusing blogs and social networks, news sites, and even search engine results and encounters an image fingerprinted by PicScout, they see the (i), can click for more information, and click to your website to immediately license or purchase the image. Starting today, 8 million images that are priced for online sales by PhotoShelter photographers will begin the fingerprinting process through PicScout. PicScout makes image buyers happy because the search for new photography that’s ready to license is easier than ever. ImageExchange gives them a path to buy it directly from the content creator on PhotoShelter. PicScout makes photographers (and other visual artists) really happy too, because they now have a new way to attract new buyers, regardless of where their content may reside online.

Essay: A Home 8,000 Miles Away
The photographer Alan Chin lives in New York but Toishan, in southern China, is his ancestral home — and a frequent subject of his work.
via Lens Blog: https://archive.nytimes.com/lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/02/18/essay-14/
The more time I spend there, the more it begins to feel like some kind of home, illusory as that might seem. Despite the persistent poverty and the vast chasm between Gongmei and my life in New York, I can foresee a time when Toishan might become like Tuscany, a picturesque region rich in history and architectural heritage, a vacation getaway. For now, though, it is still part of the forgotten rural China, engulfed in a crisis that is quiet but sustained.

Changing Face in Poland: Skinhead Puts on Skullcap (Published 2010)

“I went to my parents and said, ‘What the hell’? Imagine, I was a neo-Nazi and heard this news? I couldn’t look in the mirror for weeks,” he said. “My parents were the typical offspring of Jewish survivors of the war, who decided to conceal their Jewish identity to try and protect their family.”

On Assignment: Nine Eyes on the Prize
How does Bruce Bennett photograph a disc moving at 100 miles per hour? With seven different cameras, Nicholas Loomis reports.
via Lens Blog: http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/02/26/assignment-27/
Bruce Bennett has been shooting with seven cameras at Canada Hockey Place in Vancouver: three at arm’s reach, with lenses of various sizes; two mounted in the rafters, pointing down to the goals; one clamped to the stanchion that holds the goal-indicator light behind a net; and one inside the net itself.
“It’s kind of like playing piano,” said Mr. Bennett, who is the director of photography for hockey imagery at Getty Images.
