There are still a few things film cameras do that digital cameras don’t. One of those is double-exposures, something easy with every film SLR, and all but impossible in digital without digging into Photoshop. Enter the Double Exposure Digicam, a straightf

Worn out Leica cameras are a rare sight, but Paal Audestad managed to do the impossible. Paal started taking pictures when he was 14 years old. Leica was always his dream and he happened to buy a 1967 M4 in a second hand store in Oslo back in 1987. After many years by his side traveling to numerous festivals, concerts, discovering urban sites and visiting places all over the world (almost being lost twice), the M4 simply wore out

Rarely do you see such an in-depth tribute to one we’ve lost. Here are the pieces posted by La Lettre today in honor of Göksin Sipahioglu…
La Lettre
On Wednesday morning, photography became an orphan. Göksin Sipahioglu passed away at the American Hospital in Neuilly. He was an explorer, mentor, the ‘papa’ of photography, friend, and adviser to a number of impressive photogaphers, including Abbas, Barthélémy, Patrick Chauvel, Marc Charuel, Françoise Demulder, Catherine Leroy, Thomas Haley, Jean-François Leroy, Lasky, Reza, Manoucher, Yan Morvan, Alain Mingam, Alfred Yaghobzadeh, Alexandra Boulat, Olivier Jobard and Facelly, to name but a few.
Today we pay him homage. We are sharing work from his early years as a photographer along with tributes from his friends.

The theme ( this years Joop Swart Masterclass ) is respect. With that in mind take a look at the photo by Antonio Bolfo, published by World Press to represent the theme
He has, as he puts it, taken “terrible liberties” with his life — dashing through rice paddies in Vietnam to escape snipers’ bullets; jumping up to snap a shot during gun battles — to bring home images that are, at times, excruciating to look at but often unforgettable.

I’m also looking for layers, which is a reason why I prefer
using a 35mm f1.4 rather than a 400mm lens. I want more
information, not less. I want more intimacy, not less.

This collection of photographs represents LUCEO’s first installment in a group project focusing on industrial and population changes in rural America.

“For the last couple years, a small dusty bag of 35-mm. film peered at me from my desk,” the Florida-based photographer Chip Litherland told me when I asked him about the genesis of his current project. “The internet, camera phones, and motor drives have burst the dam of photography, causing a flood of imagery into the world, and ‘FOCUSED’ is my attempt to stick a wad of gum in that dam to stop the leak for even a brief second.”
Damir Sagolj, a Bangkok-based Reuters photographer, was among a group of journalists invited last week by North Korea’s Economy and Trade Information Center to document the food crisis in the country’s farm belt. North Korea has appealed for food aid after a harsh winter and a series of summer floods and storms, but so far, only 30 percent of a United Nations aid target has been met.

On the tenth anniversary of the start of the war in Afghanistan, TIME asks 40 renowned photographers to reflect on their harrowing experiences covering the conflict—and to describe which of their own photographs moved them most.
Fred Herzog purchased his first camera in 1950 and began working in color to do what he describes as “intimate journalism in a city environment. They call that street photography now…. I would find certain street corners where people gathered, or other public spaces, places I felt would have an atmosphere that suited anybody.
