    Last week the official PhotoShelter WordPress plugin was born – a free, public download that allows PhotoShelter users to streamline their blogging workflow by embedding photos and slideshows directly into the body of a blog post without leaving WordPress. Here’s a rundown of the main features of the plugin, plus a short review of how I use the plugin to save lots of time and improve my SEO.

    As we head into fall (and I am sooo happy about that), I want to put a call out to photojournalists/documentarians with projects needing a platform. I will be curating an issue of a soon-to-be released online magazine, and am looking for material to publish.

  • Dave Anderson in New Orleans

    John Schwartz tells why Dave Anderson decided the best way to cover the scope of Katrina was through a single city block.

    via Lens Blog: https://archive.nytimes.com/lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/08/26/dave-anderson-in-new-orleans/

    What can one block tell you about a devastated city?

    Plenty, says Dave Anderson, 40, a photographer who chronicled the lives of people reclaiming their homes after Hurricane Katrina in the newly published “One Block: A New Orleans Neighborhood Rebuilds” (Aperture).

    I mention the following probably just because I have Leicas on the brain after the past couple of days, but it strikes me that the S90 and S95 might be the up to the minute analog of the original Leica—the so-called “Barnack camera.” It’s capable but stealthy, as tiny as it can reasonably be, supremely portable and able to be carried virtually anywhere

    The A55, will I believe, be regarded as something of a landmark camera. It offers a significant amount of new technology in a surprisingly inexpensive package. It challenges the big boys, Canon and Nikon, to get off their butts and start offering something new and exciting.

    My husband’s Canon DSLR cannot be directly compared to the Leica M, and when I was using it as a novice my photographic knowledge was a lot more limited. My general impression is that a DSLR is more suitable for shooting bursts and fast action compared to a rangefinder camera, but that the Leica M is optimized for capturing ‘the right moment.’

    The Lighter Side, airing at the bottom of the hour during non-peak times, is already popular among viewers. Favorite segments so far include the story of a Ramallah teen who sat motionless in a freshly plowed pepper field for 10 days, believing himself to be in a minefield; that of a U.N.-sponsored airborne food-drop that leveled an entire Afghan village; and that of a large fig, produced on a farm outside Bahrain, which bears an uncanny resemblance to renegade Muslim cleric Muqtada Al-Sadr.

    I am also participating in the beta testing of a new social micro-payment called Flattr. If you register with Flattr, you choose to pay a small monthly fee. You decide the amount yourself, and at the end of the month the fee is divided up between all the pages you choose “flatter.”

    Guantanamo’s Camp Justice is a place where you can sit at your laptop or by your phone only if there’s a member of the military within earshot.

    It’s a place where you can go to court only in the custody of a military public affairs officer. Inside, if there’s only one escort — this happened recently — and somebody has to go to the bathroom, every reporter has to leave court, too.

    It’s a place where a soldier stands over your shoulder, looks in your viewfinder and says ‘Don’t take that picture, I’ll delete it.’

  • Mapping Traffic’s Toll on Wildlife (Published 2010)

    Projects in California and Maine ask people to photograph and locate dead animals to understand the impact of roads on the environment.

    Link: https://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/13/technology/13roadkill.html

    To Ron Ringen, a retired veterinarian, roadkill is a calling.

    Nearly every week for the last seven months, Mr. Ringen, 69, has driven the roads north of this college town near Sacramento, scanning the pavement for telltale bits of fur and feathers.

    Pulling over, Mr. Ringen gets out, snaps photographs and uses his GPS device to record the precise location where creatures met their end.
