Photographer Stephen Dupont is of a rare breed. He infiltrated a raskol community, and documented the rough and ruthless individuals involved in Papua New Guinea’s gang life. His new book, Raskols: The Gangs of Papua New Guinea, presents formal portraits of members of the Kips Kaboni (Scar Devils), Papua New Guinea’s oldest criminal gang
Last week I was frustrated in my attempt to take a screen grab of a frame from the cartoon Gravity Falls, which I was playing in iTunes on my Mac. The screen grab image showed the player window as …
No matter what your personal opinion on Getty Images is, you can’t argue that they’ve evolved into one of the major powerhouses in the stock industry. But when co-founders Mark Getty and Jonathan Klein got their start in 1995, they were working in a compl
Marc McAndrews spent five years photographing the legal brothels of 11 Nevada counties, finding less in the way of salaciousness and more in the way of capitalism, commerce and community.
Camera lenses might look radically different in a couple years thanks to a new technology developed by a group of physicists at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences.
The first Leica M Monochrome (I think everyone is calling it the Leica M-M; at least everyone around here) showed up today. Lensrentals became a tiny reflection of most online forum discussions regarding the camera, with half the employees saying, “Why wo
Canon today launched their most affordable digital cinema camera to date in the shape of the C100. It is clearly the cheaper sibling of my favorite large sensor news and documentary camera the C300 – but with some features stripped away (although others are added).

This is not a good time for writing, since it’s such a bad time for reading, especially on the web. I’ve been castigating photography for its increasing reliance on what I call one liners – quick photo projects that require at most five minutes of your time and that, of course, are ideal fodder for online consumption. But photography really is just part of a larger culture that does not value thoughts any longer that can’t be summed up in a single sentence or, god forbid, thoughts that can’t even be summed up at all.

So why then even spend more time thinking about photography and writing, when I’m already sounding old or old-fashioned or both?
When LUCEO, the photographer-run cooperative agency, issued a press release last Monday announcing it had redesigned its web site to be more “client centered” and highlight the agency’s multimedia work, the announcement was overshadowed by news that three
