I have my own fairly strong views on the competition and the direction in which newspaper and news website multimedia is heading – I have not sought to promote those here. This is more a listening exercise to try and gauge what practitioners in the field are thinking – with the aim of shaping future contests and dialogue.

Link: La Lettre de la Photographie
In 1975, while working as a young journalist at PHOTO magazine, I had the privilege of interviewing Helmut. He was recovering from a heart attack in New York that had turned his life upside down. The conversation lasted hours. June was there, and we can never overestimate the importance of the role she played in their Parisian apartment on Rue Abriot. Thirty years later, not a single word needs to be changed.

Justin Maxon: This project is about my transition from a path of chaos to one of healing. For the past decade, my life has been a blur of movement. The healthy parts of my life fell away: family, friends, love. I found myself in a space between worlds: a visitor to everything around me, a stranger to my own life. I had a crossroads approaching, a choice ot be made. I choose to thread the fractured pieces of my life back into place. Multiple exposures in camera are strung together to create a patchwork of feeling, as strands of memory are layered over strings of the present

The exhibition presents eight works from the project, which explores the transformative foreign influences of New York City’s 1970s disco culture and the liberation in 1975 of Angola (where the first disco hit was allegedly written) from Portuguese rule. Researching archival photographs, period costumes, and decor, Douglas meticulously recreated historical moments from the two locations that tie them together, and in the process, he probes questions about the veracity of photojournalism and the “decisive moment”.

photo-eye Book Reviews: True Norwegian Black Metal
True Norwegian Black Metal. By Peter Beste. Published by Vice, 2009. True Norwegian Black Metal Reviewed by Tom Leininger _____…
Link: http://blog.photoeye.com/2012/03/photo-eye-book-reviews-true-norwegian.html
I am not an expert on Norwegian Black Metal. This review will deal strictly with the book True Norwegian Black Metal, as I read and processed it over a number of days. Clearing my mind in this manner gave me the space to think about the work, and just the work, on the printed pages. It is not the music or the musicians, but Peter Beste’s interpretation of them that I am coming to grips with.

‘My ongoing project, When Morning Comes, explores daily life in the Mississippi Delta. In the summer of 2009 I began traveling the village streets and farm roads of the Delta on my bicycle. I needed to breathe after troubled times and the people that I met, the very landscape itself, became midwives, mythmakers, and prophets. I found strength and humility there that summer.

In a one-hour interview (well worth listening to) with Gregory Berg on the WGTD-FM Morning Show, Hertzberg recalled a lifetime of photojournalism.

“I have embraced photojournalism as a means to communicate, provoke, and inspire, as well as to document history. I have employed the camera as a voice, to shout out about injustice while affirming what is beautiful and good.”

If you read closely in the TERMS of your social networking sites, even apps like Hipstamatic or video platforms like YouTube, you’ll find that you have given them usage rights to your images that can be as generous as whenever, wherever, for the rest of time.
How do they get away with this?
