The Tumblr blog Kim Jong Il Looking At Things was launched on October 6th, 2010. All of the original photographs were taken and published by the state-run Korean Central News Agency, North Korea’s propaganda wing mainly used to promote Kim Jong Il’s public image and the state’s official Juche ideology.
Waukesha*, Wisconsin, June 2011 — I’m 54 this year, and film photography has certainly come a long way since I first seriously caught the photography bug in 1980. It used to be all there was. Up until the 1990s, the…
Lately, it’s been film (a.k.a. “analog”) aficionados who have been on the defensive, as digital has decisively taken over the market and removed just about any real practical necessity to use film at all.
I shot the USA Track and Field Championships over the course of four days in Eugene, Ore. June 23-26, 2011. The first three days I was on my own and on the final and most hectic day, Oregonian intern Tyler Tjomsland joined in. It seems like every other big meet I’ve shot, the weather has always been extreme. This year, we had perfect weather which makes a long meet much more tolerable and enjoyable. I always like seeing old friends from around the country like Bill Frakes, Laura Heald, Kirby Lee and whole Register-Guard crew.
one would have to be exceptionally naive or an internet virgin – Baio is neither – not to foresee the inevitable response to Baio’s post: “rich old bastard with Rottweiler lawyers uses copyright law to crush starving young artist” is a wet-dream story for the freetard lobby. And sure enough, zombie-like, the freetards quickly took the bait, laying siege to the photographer’s Facebook page and elsewhere with their own interpretation of being cool and human
This is really the big copyright law debate rearing its ugly head in the form of Maisel vs. Baio. When does Copyright Law protect creativity and creation, versus stop it, is actually the crux of the discussion.

In the years since the river has become more popular with LOOK3ers. And every year I still feel drawn to go back. LUCEO’s biannual meetings take place in June, usually just before LOOK3. This year we upgraded our accommodations by renting a beautiful home. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it) our A/C went out on the final day of our meetings and we were forced to relocate to the river to cool off. It was a welcome reprieve from the heat and a bit like seeing an old friend.
The Carmignac Gestion Photojournalism Award is back for its third edition, offering photographers a chance to win a €50,000 grant to develop a project in Zimbabwe

Alec Soth, 1969, USA, received a BA at the Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville in 1992. In July 2011 his book Broken Manual will be released. The series, created over the course of four years, investigates spaces people would runaway to, away from civilization. He has photographed monks, survivalists, hermits and runaways.
I don’t remember where or how I came across Alia Malley’s 2009/10 Southland, but I do remember the photography stayed with me for a while. There was something about those landscapes that struck me. Recently, someone pointed me to Alia’s new series A Cavalier in Sight of a Village, for which she was (in fact at the time of this writing is) raising money on Kickstarter. So I got in touch with Alia and asked her whether she’d answer my questions about her work. (more)
The post I wrote about the Jay Maisel vs. Andy Baio thing was somewhat controversial. I had a lot of vitriol sent my way over it. I thought about it a bit more over the weekend.
New York City based photographer Edward Keating photographed the weekend events for TIME. Documenting both the colorful (and flamboyant) parade and the partying afterward, Keating spent hours in the excited crowds and in packed bars and restaurants in the West Village.
