More often than not, some of the best observers of places are those not originally from there. Leon Borensztein was born in Poland, settled in Israel and emigrated only later in life to the U.S. in 1977. But unlike de Tocqueville and other aristocratic travelers of old, he had to make ends meet and stumbled into taking commercial pictures of average, normal Americans as a fly-by-night job to pay the bills. Borensztein’s portraits—comprised in his new book, American Portraits, 1979–1989
I went to join friends and family and see this amazing country with a bit of inside perspective. I went because Myanmar is in a time of transition and I wanted to see it before everything changes.

Jermaine Green, a recently returned US Army veteran (who served tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan), videoed an LA County Sheriff Deputy strike a mentally handicapped woman in the head. The incident took place on a city bus. The deputy then approached Green and ordered Green to hand over his cell phone
Breaking from tradition, their new exhibition “Greater Than The Sum” combines a broad curation of each photographers work into one 163′ run that spans the entire gallery. Rather than selling individual prints, LUCEO is selling CUTS which give guests the opportunity to hand-cut a 24×24″ section of the print they most want
Joseph Szabo has photographed teenagers for the past four decades. His images perfectly capture the nuances and emotions of adolescence, and they document his subjects in moments of uncertainty, reflection, longing, bravado, exuberance and awkwardness as they dip a toe into the waters of adulthood.
UPDATE: Although the offending language was removed (see below) in response to questions from a reporter for phillymag.com, DRPA spokesperson, Tim Ireland issued a follow-up statement, saying “amateur photographers and members of the general public may
Specifically, the wording at the top of that page entitled “What Should I Consider Suspicious?” on which the very first bullet point states, “Individuals observed filming or photographing passing trains, locomotives, freight cars, passenger cars, rail yard operations, tracks, bridges, tunnels, commuter rail trains, subway trains, transit trains, stations and platforms.”
And while Garcia waited for his day in court, his White House press credential expired. Normally renewed as a mere formality, this time around Garcia’s credential was denied.
With most of the country experiencing hard times for the last few years, many young adults, and young journalists in particular, are feeling uncertain about their future. Heading out on the road can be a way to take back control of one’s destiny and grow
Back at the house, the crew proceeded to tear into the roadkill, separating the meat, fat, skeleton and hide. The testicles were preserved in a jar of alcohol and placed on the spice rack next to a free-range squirrel head.
Adventures like this have not been uncommon for Tim and Noah Hussin (above), brothers and journalists who have been biking across America for over a year now. After raising a little over $3,000 on Kickstarter, they set out to document people who they believe are rethinking American values toward community and challenging the cookie-cutter lifestyle of the suburbia the brothers grew up in.
China’s Wild West is an acerbic and provocative series of photographs by Chloe Dewe Mathews focussing on the contested lives of a sparse populace in China’s Xinjiang region. There is a state of suspension in some of the photos when the viewer begins to question what it is they are actually looking at, asking whether some post manipulation has been employed. But there is none and such clever stop-in-your-tracks devices only add to the underlying narrative of the people that Mathews captures – their story being one of surveillance, suppression and discrimination.
The Lightroom team is proud to introduce the fourth major version of the product designed for and by photographers. It was 6 years ago today when we introduced the very first public beta of Lightroom at MacWorld on January 9, 2006. (Yes, it was Mac only, smaller in footprint than most raw files and didn’t have a crop tool!) Since 2006 we’ve been hard at work improving an application that’s intended to be as easy to use as it is powerful. This release builds on the fundamental performance architecture and image quality improvements in Lightroom 3 to provide a truly complete workflow solution. I kept hearing from customers that they love Lightroom but needed to leave the Lightroom to complete X, Y or Z. Lightroom 4 tackles those issues with improvements to image organization, adjustment tools and comprehensive publishing options.
Covering politics over the decades, he has seen tremendous changes – both in the style of the campaigns and the technology he has used to photograph them. In recent weeks, he’s been covering the Republican presidential campaign in Iowa and New Hampshire, focusing almost entirely on Mitt Romney
Despite its progressive agenda, the League’s mission was far from simplistic. Founder Grossman, who was just 23 when the group started, encouraged its members to look beyond documentary and question their relationship with the image. “Sid taught people to challenge their habitual ways of seeing the world,” says Klein. “A more poetic and metaphoric expression of how one saw the world was what Sid wanted from his students.” Under Grossman’s guidance, the League’s young muckrakers became artists.
Fujifilm’s X-Pro1 mirrorless ILC (interchangeable lens camera) is now officially official. The oft-leaked specs and photos have been pretty much confirmed by an official announcement at CES, and the camera looks hot, hot, hot. If you were disappointed by
