Sol Neelman has been on the road for several years, chasing the wacky world of weird sports. He’s got a new book filled with his collection of the oddest things, and he’s still out there shooting the most obscure sports he can find.

Ten years ago, on a beautiful morning in September, my life changed profoundly. Much has been written about that day, and much has happened as a result of two planes crashing into the twin towers of the World Trade Center. Ten years later, it is as difficult for me to write about those events as it was then.

Ten years later, those hopes lie shattered in the dust not of the towers, but of water-boarding, Predator drones, kill teams, rendition, and a national security state.
Taking a cue from the succesful microstock model here is where photojournalism is heading. It is happening under our eyes, right now and in four steps.
I have worked professionally for eight years now and have used several different film and digital camera systems, but using Leica was always an aspiration though I could never justify the costs. Apart from that, I have learned the hard way that a top-end camera can become your master. Although they can give you an advantage and help give you better negatives or files, an expensive camera does not make you a better photographer.
Zalmai Ahad has been photographing Afghanistan, where he was born, for almost 10 years. Few photographers, he said, want to tell the story he tells — the story of daily life.

I wanted to show that life goes on every day — that people have hope and dreams like everywhere else.
