    I think this is great for a couple of reasons. First the leading player in the Twitter photo space twitpic is a total ripoff for photographers. When you use it you are giving them the right to sell your photos through some fine print in the TOS. Many people don’t read TOS agreements and twitpic doesn’t really advertise or clearly disclose that they can screw you over and steal your rights.

    I love old photos. I know I’m a nosy photographer. As soon as I step into someone else’s house, I start sniffing for those old photos. Most of us are fascinated by their retro look but to me it’s imagining how people would feel and look like if they were to reenact them today… A year ago, I decided to actually do this. So, with my camera, I started inviting people to go back to their future.

    The most authentic photographs tell untold stories, and they capture intimacy, depth and compassion. These are just a few of the words that come to mind when I think of Barbara Davidson‘s “Caught in the Crossfire” project, which led to the Los Angeles Times photographer to win this year’s Pulitzer Prize in feature photography.

    I talked with Davidson via email about her reporting process, why she chose the photos she did, and what advice she has for other journalists covering gang violence. You can read our Q&A, which has been edited for clarity, below.

    I never imagined that going to Coney Island in 1970 to photograph, at the suggestion of my teacher at the time, Ben Fernandez, would ever result in going back for 40 years to shoot there. I’d call anyone either crazy or a genius for doing anything photographic that long. And I know I’m not a genius

    “I’m living a transient lifestyle now…We dumpster dive food, for example,” he explains. “That’s one thing that most people won’t do, and I guess I don’t blame them…we don’t buy food very often, and that cuts out the necessity to work that many more hours per week.”

    In a statement by Tamas Dezso about his work, he writes,“The map of Hungary is speckled with capsules of time. During the political transformation twenty years ago, as the country experienced change it simply forgot about certain places – streets, blocks of flats, vacant sites and whole districts became self-defined enclosures, where today a certain out-dated, awkward, longed-to-be-forgotten Eastern Europeanness still lingers.
