After searching for several hours, I was able to locate the article that leaked the Nikon D4 details earlier today. Just go to this link and enjoy. Don’t ask me why it’s posted on Wells Fargo’s website. The same website also has information about the upco

Sitting in the gallery surrounded by Michael Levin’s photographs, I feel a sense of calm. Though the images are still frames I perceive a sense of movement. There is something about Levin’s images that inspire a sense of “being” in the moment – and it is a peaceful and pleasant moment
The photographs of Don Hong-Oai are made in a unique style of photography, which can be considered Asian pictorialism
The first article about the Nikon D4 appeared briefly online today. The article was dated January 10, 2012 – this may be the actual release date to the public. The January 6th press event could just be to introduce the camera to the press. I cannot publis

“Fatescapes” examines both the role and limitations of the photographic image as a historical document. “I remove the central motifs from historical documentary photographs,” Mr. Smejkal wrote in an e-mail. “I use images that have become our cultural heritage, that constitute memory of nations, serve as symbols or tools of propaganda and exemplify a specific approach to photography.”

Rogers joined The Times in 1940 and was part of the team that won the Pulitzer Prize for coverage of the Watts riots in 1965. His work was often picked up by Time, Life and Sports Illustrated.

President Obama just signed the National Defense Authorization Act into law despite startling provisions that will allow the military to indefinitely detain American citizens. It’s a travesty, defying basic principles of justice and due process in perhaps the most extreme respect our nation has ever seen.
Reporting and policing can be a high adrenaline business. But the decade-long trajectory in New York is toward expanded police power.
The mayor even argued that to let the press watch the police retake Zuccotti Park would be to violate the privacy of protesters. “It wouldn’t be fair,” he said

Every so often the Universe realizes I’m getting a little cocky and sends someone to ask me a simple question I can’t answer. It happened again the other day. Michael Plumridge and Peter Lik asked Tyler what the sharpest 50mm lens was. They were shooting on Red Epics with adapters so neither brand, mount, nor price mattered. But they needed to know right away. Tyler told them he’d ask me and give them the answer in a few minutes.
It’s really hard to boil down a year of assignments and projects and portraits and personal images down to a small handful. Certain images stand out in our minds because of the memories that accompany them, because of the way the light fell across the scene, because the impact the subject had on our lives.
“Best” is relative. “Best” is personal.
I’ve got a copy of Weird Sports sitting in the front room of my house and EVERYONE who picks it up, whether they are a photographer or not, loves it. They slowly flip through the pages, laughing hysterically. Definitely recommended. Here’s Sol’s story of putting it together…
THE WILD WEIRD WORLD OF SPORTS
This past year, for me, has been the year of the book. The year I achieved a dream. The year I gave birth. The year I became a father.
I’ve been a little hesitant to write about my book. Maybe because it still doesn’t seem real. But I’m slowly coming to terms with reality, that it is in fact real. Very real.
Another reason I’ve put off this entry is because of how truly personal this book is to me. Not sure if I can express it in words.

Happy 2012! A huge thank you to all the hundreds of photographers that sent me their favorite images of 2011. Note that these images are favorites and speak to the photographer in a meaningful way. I love creating this annual post, allowing photographers who have never shared their work to sit along side significant image makers. They way I see it is that we all share a common passion and why not bump up against each other once in awhile.
I wish you all many successes in 2012 and that the joy of creating photographs continues to enrich your lives. Thank you for reading Lenscratch and for enhancing my life with your work. This post is created in 5 parts so as not to crash the rss feed (which happened last year). Simply keep going through older posts until you reach the end.

LightBox has compiled this yearbook for 2011, literally picking a photo for each day of this astonishing year. It is a remarkable memorial to its high and low points, to agony and to exhilaration. But let the pictures speak for themselves.
Welcome to the Photo Follies 2011 Awards, the Premier Photo Industry Contest In This Universe Or Any Universe Yet To Be Discovered™. Entries were judged by a jury consisting of leading industry figures, including a school of Barbary macaques, and senior Google Street View operators on loan from World Press Photo. Judging was overseen by the Russian Central Election Commission to ensure fairness.

One of the more common comments I get when someone looks through my book for the first time is: “Wow. I never saw this photo on your blog.”
And there’s a reason. I’m a professional photographer – not a professional picture editor. I tend to post images I like and think might work, even though I need someone with a more critical eye to critique my photography.
By now, you have probably seen Redheaded Peckerwood being picked the most by the various people (me included) who compiled a “best of 2011” list. As subjective as such lists are, I’d like to point at one very simple fact: In Marc Feustel’s tallying of these lists, the book was picked by 19 out of the 50+ lists, far ahead of all the other books

On a very big wall, right behind the admission desk, was a seven image photo series, installed sequentially, by the aforementioned famous Dutch artist. Each featured a handsome young Frenchman named Olivier Silva, who was about to embark on a stint in the French Foreign Legion…The framed prints, all largish, were exhibited in a temporal sequence that transpired between 2000-3, during Mr. Silva’s military service.
