“On 5 April 2011, Anton was shot by Muammar Gaddafi’s forces in an extremely remote location in the Libyan desert. According to eyewitnesses, his injuries were such that he could not have survived without medical attention.
“Words are simply not enough to describe the unbelievable trauma the Hammerl family is going through,” the statement read.
Mishka Henner has a new project on the Panos Pictures website, made with Google Street View, called No Man’s Land. It purports to be a series of pictures of women who “appear to be soliciting sex”.
A statement on Facebook by the family of Anton Hammerl, a 41-year-old South African freelance photographer who has been missing in Libya for more than a month, said the family learned Thursday that he had in fact been killed on April 5 by the forces of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi.
Anton Hammerl, the South African photographer who has been missing in Libya since early in April, was not released on Wednesday, as some hoped he would be.
“Until I see him, I don’t believe any of these reports,” Penny Sukhraj, Mr. Hammerl’s wife, said by phone from London on Wednesday afternoon. “It’s just a recipe for emotional disaster.”

“I believe in something strongly, and I’m going to stand up for it. And I knew and my father knew – he taught me, that I better not ever mistreat people, just because of color. That is really where I come from.”
When I’m working with a camera, I’m focused on what I’m doing and I’m aggressive. I’m gonna get out there. You are going to have to kill me to keep me from doing the pictures I want to do – because it was so important to me. Why? Maybe
because of my background, maybe because I love photography, and it was a dramatic event. Because I felt the way I did. I did not like seeing what I did, and I’m a fighter. If I had – and I have – fought before with my fist, but in this, I fight with my camera. That’s my tool. That was my weapon. I believe in something strongly, and I’m going to stand up for it. And I knew and my father knew – he taught me, that I better not ever mistreat people, just because of color. That is really where I come from.

“We Chinese” grew out of a curiosity to find out what Chinese people think about their country and their future. Media coverage of the country and its development often raises questions about the direction of the government in Beijing on the world stage. Few reports take into account the feelings of the Chinese people, instead making reference to the country as a monolithic actor without constituent parts. A country’s trajectory through history cannot be mapped without careful consideration of the people. This project aims, in a small way, to develop a portrait of the country by looking at the individual people that make it up.
What’s needed is a system in which none of these three parties — users, journalists or the service — wields too much power over the other two, and one in which each knows exactly what rights they and others have.
To most of us, Lomo is the camera brand that inspired a gazillion digital knock-offs, apps that mash and mix your cellphone photos into something that would have been rejected by every picture editor in the days of film. Today, Lomo is ready to remind us
The new camera looks a lot like the LC-A, but comes with some extras. First is the new lens, which puts the “wide” in the name. It’s a super wideangle 17mm lens, vs the LC-A’s already wide 32mm. To get an idea of how wide this is, once a lens gets to 16mm it is usually a fisheye.
Please note that this bug only impacts customers who are saving metadata to JPEG files with a rare characteristic.(JPEG files must have an unusually large block of private camera data included in the file to be susceptible to the bug*) This scenario is so rare that we do not believe that it is necessary for customers who have already upgraded to revert to the previous version of Lightroom or Camera Raw. However, the bug could cause image corruption which falls within our highest severity category of bugs.

“I present these photographs as part of an index of a greater idea, of something I find myself drawn towards not as a photographer but as a person. They are a marker, an index for photographs yet to be realized. In this I find excitement. The threads are here but where do they lead? They are an introduction of sorts and a departure.” Photographs by Mustafah Abdulaziz
This week, Ashley Gilbertson won a National Magazine Award for his photo essay “A Shrine Down the Hall.” The photographs published in this magazine were a selection from a larger project, which is ongoing.
We met to discuss the project, “Bedrooms of the Fallen,” on Wednesday in a coffee shop near where he lives in New York City. Gilbertson was accompanied by his wife, Joanna, and their small son, Hugo. Joanna explained that the germ of the project was an effort to keep Ashley out of Iraq, where he had worked on and off since 2002. Looking back, they both agree that this project has been much more difficult than straightforward war photography.
