Mike Kepka’s photos have soul. From Scotty Grabell, a freelance bunny, to Renée de la Prade, a dancing, singing accordion player, the people he’s chosen to profile in his weekly column “The City Exposed” at the San Francisco Chronicle give an honest and loving portrayal of the city.
A major collector of William Eggleston’s work filed suit against the photographer yesterday in a U.S. District Court, accusing him of devaluing his vintage dye transfer prints by selling new, large-scale pigment prints of many of his iconic works. The sui
‘The shooting happened on the Coney Island boardwalk, in June 2011. I happened to be there with my wife, my camera, and two rolls of 120 film (24 shots total), and I made these photographs. It was the first time I had ever seen anyone shot, or stabbed, or mased. It was the first time I’d ever seen someone die.’

Gilles Peress, who has worked with The New Yorker on many occasions, photographed in Bosnia from March to September of 1993. “I knew from the beginning that I could not explain all that was happening in Bosnia—the historical intricacies, the weight of blood,” Peress writes in his book “Farewell To Bosnia.” “I set out only to provide a visual continuum of experience, of existence.” Here’s a selection of his photographs from Bosnia.
A co-defendant in the copyright infringement case against celebrity music producer Quincy Jones has denied the infringement claims, which were filed in February by Los Angeles photographer Michael D. Jones. Harman International, which allegedly used a por
If there is anything that is shocking to me about the subject at this point, it’s that the visual censorship of these wars has been so absolute that many today fail to understand why such scenes would be even be relevant to see.

The biggest rivalry in the camera world today – Canon vs. Nikon – has been heating up lately as Nikon tries to claw its way into an HDSLR market that has thus far been dominated by Canon and its 5D Mark II. Tension has been mounting between fans of both, and a new video, “The F%^&ing Nikon D800 vs. Canon 5D mkIII Shootout,” aims to provide some comic relief.
Then again, if image quality is your #1 priority, then the X-Pro 1 may just be worth the $1699 body only cost as the IQ is SUPERB for a crop sensor APS-C camera. Probably some of the best IQ I have seen from any mirrorless to date. Due to lack of AA filter, the images that come from this sensor pop with detail and sharpness. Add to that the Fuji colors and you have a fantastic camera for image quality
One to Nothing depicts an Israel we do not see on the news. These images go beyond politics: they do not defend a side or critique the conflict. Here, Israel is seen in an unexpected light, a mythological backdrop to the age long struggle between man and the dusty, sun bleached landscape of his origin. The score to this existential battle is locked at 1– 0, with no finish line in sight. A loose, subtle, and open-ended narrative One to Nothing describes a historic tension with striking and unusual observations.

Among them will be the photographers Ashley Gilbertson, who worked in Iraq from 2002 until 2008, and Peter van Agtmael, who has been documenting America’s war and its consequences since 2006.

Tony and I looked at each other and said, “That must be Henri Cartier-Bresson. Tony pushes me to go and see this guy and I walk over and ask him, “Are you Henri Cartier-Bresson?” He says, “No, no I am not. Are you the police?” I said, “No, no we are just two photographers and we saw you working and thought you must be mad.” He said, “Yes I am Cartier-Bresson. You meet me here later and I take you for coffee.”

Desienna says great new digital, black-and-white photography has added to the exquisite and timeless world that monochrome images create. “We don’t see the world in black and white so this is probably why we are so attracted to it,” he says. “In addition I believe that black-and-white photography has the capability to show the inner moods of the photographers better than colors do.”
Of course, the thing everyone wants to know right now is how the D800 stacks up against its closest rival – the Canon 5D mkIII. Again I have to thank Nikon for letting me pitch the two cameras up against each other as we travelled around the sights of New York. So how do they compare?
