    Milan-based photographer Daniele Tamagni’s book “Gentlemen of Bacongo” features the pageantry of Congalese sapeurs, or dandies – a subculture of men who pay extreme attention to, and take great pride in, their appearance and sartorial style.

    In February of 2006 I unknowingly began making images that would later become an all-consuming project  lasting for more than four years. I am excited to announce the first real printing of this body of work. Edited by Mike Davis and designed by his wife Deb Pang Davis of Cococello Design, it contains an afterword by Brian Paul Clamp, director of ClampArt in New York.

    Inside the rolling hills of Appalachia, the small town of Athens dances to an eclectic vibe that emanates from the bars, locales, farms and people themselves. Many dwellers have found a unique passion they bare honestly and revel in how it makes their life sing.

    The pictures are made in Abkhazia, one of the small breakaway republics of Georgia. I went there because I was curious about life in a country which didn’t formally exist: What is life like in a country marked by war, isolation and not recognized, with no or limited possibilities to travel abroad or having contact with the surrounding world?

    Choosing only to photograph friends, family members and partners, this personal project, photographed over ten years, seeks to look at beauty and female emotion in an unvarnished and un-retouched way, thus challenging the 21st Century ethos of cosmetic enhancement and air-brushed magazine perfection.

    Just because I am not breaking any laws does not always mean I am welcomed by the crew to shoot candid photos. If I am discovered shooting and they decide they don’t want images getting out, they may go to great measures to prevent me from getting my shots. Some ways a film production might do this is by blocking my view with equipment or vehicles, shining a bright light in my direction, or having a security guard stand in front of my lens with an umbrella. This is why I prefer stealth mode. It also makes for a better candid photo when the star does not know they are being photographed and are just acting naturally. On the days when there are several other Paparazzi photographers all competing for the same shot, there is no reason to hide. Production does their best to block the view of all the photographers or often just allow us to shoot, considering everyone keeps a respectable distance and does not get in the way of filming.

    Fukase’s images are grainy, dark and impressionistic. Often, he magnifies his negatives or overexposes them, aiming all the time for mood over technical refinement. He photographs flocks from a distance, and single birds that appear like black silhouettes against grey, wintry skies. They are captured in flight, blurred and ominous, and at rest, perching on telegraph wires, trees, fences and chimneys. Fusake photographs them alive and dead, and maps their shadows in harsh sunlight and their tracks in the snow.

    With this being our first year for the Award, we didn’t really know what to expect. But we were completely blown away with the turn out – 43 different schools and universities were represented, spanning the globe from the US to Germany to Bangladesh to Denmark to the UK. We were also very pleased with the quality of submissions. Many were very well developed and displayed a sophisticated visual language.

    I have just updated my website with 12 new photo essays, made in recent times. I am passionate about visual story telling in photo essay form, and about the process of creating a visual narrative that can ask as many questions as affirm answers. I am also passionate about trying to make 2 and 2 make 5 rather than 3 through the process of linking and juxtaposing imagery, and interested in opening discussion and dialogue and imparting a sense of perception of how certain dynamics feel, rather than attempt description or explanation. My Photo Essay webpage now offers the viewer 27 different photo essays or portfolios that can be seen here:

    Imagelogr claims to be scraping the entire “free web” and seems to have hit Flickr especially hard, copying full-sized images of yours and mine to their own servers where they are hosting them without any attribution or links back to the original image in violation of all available licenses on Flickr. If people on Imagelogr want to they can manipulate your images, rotate them, see them at different sizes up to 300% and even download the images with a download button directly from the site.

    Millions of flies cover the ground.  As I walk they fly up and back down again like an ocean wave.  Every other second they land on me.  I constantly swipe them away until I just give in to the feeling of an insect crawling on my skin.  I look at the people in the dump and I count how many seconds they last until they swat the flies away.  Most do not even care.

    Almost everybody wants to belong to a group or a family and share their daily life activities/experiences. To define their own identities is important for every human being and to be part of a community is universal…

    I’m interested how people interact and behave in a group, the use of symbols or dress codes.
