What Ernst Haas was telling me in those seemingly prehistoric times was to open my eyes, to learn how to see, to slow down, to open my mind, to see the world in a grain of sand, to dream, to walk the streets, to watch the light, and to feel the wind on my face

A Feast of Famine Pictures From Somalia … and What a Photo “Ought to Do” – Reading The Pictures
Times’ Executive Editor Bill Keller says photographs like this “ought to disturb us, at least.” But if that’s all he’s asking a photograph to do, to deliver the “concern” in “concern photojournalism,” Keller (and Salon) are missing the point.

Where in the World? A Google Earth Puzzle
via The Atlantic: http://www.theatlantic.com/infocus/2011/08/where-in-the-world-a-google-earth-puzzle/100120/
Looking at the world through via Google Earth offers striking images of the diversity of our planet and the impact that humans have had on it. Today’s entry is a puzzle. We’re challenging you to figure out where in the world each of the images below is taken. (You’ll find answers and links at the bottom of the entry.) North is not always up in these pictures, and, apart from a bit of contrast, they are unaltered images provided by Google and its mapping partners. So I invite you to open up Google Earth (or Google Maps), have a look at the images below, and dive in. Good luck! [25 images]

Very Familiar Faces, Far Out of Context
What is a Times Magazine celebrity portrait? Kathy Ryan, the director of photography, doesn’t believe in boundaries. That’s one reason it’s so hard to define.
via Lens Blog: http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/08/03/very-familiar-faces-far-out-of-context/
What makes a good celebrity portrait? It has a lot to do with finding a presence. Avoiding the superficial. Rendering an individual almost dreamlike.
Kathy Ryan, the director of photography of The New York Times Magazine, describes it as “that split second when something intense seems to be happening with the person in the portrait.”

New York City street photographer Richard Sandler was handed a Leica in 1977, a simple action that changed the vector of his life. He began photographing the streets of New York, tapping into the pulse of the 80s. “You are recording your time,” says Sandler. “You are looking for trends. If you are in the street, you see it. You see everything on the street.” From his 5th avenue furs to the graffiti strewn subways, Sandler brings the grit and the glamor of the Reagan era to the surface.

Some call PLUS “the largest evolutionary step for the imaging industry since the internet arrived”, while others remain wary of yet another system designed to simplify image licensing. David Hoffman, a moderator on the Editorial Photographers UK and Ireland website and an advocate for the system in the UK, explains why he thinks it is so important professional photographers sign up for the PLUS registry.

Leica Offers to Remove M9 Red Dot for Just $2,000
Leica sure makes some fine cameras, and some even better lenses. But what is it with those prices? When I picked up a used M6 with a 35mm aspherical lens some years ago, they cost me around £800 ($1,300) apiece. Back then it was probably the most money I

“I’d always been into music—printing up fake press passes and sneaking my camera into concerts since the day I first picked up a camera,” the photographer Laura Levine told me. “Typical New York City kid. I worked for all of the usual suspects—Rolling Stone, Creem, Trouser Press, Spin, Sounds, the New York Times—and, later, the record labels. But the publication I ended up working most closely with in the early eighties, during its brief but crucial existence, was the New York Rocker.
