Sargent enjoyed hiking in the mountains and parks of the Pacific Northwest. But with his digital Nikon, he could show other people what delights him, what catches his eye, and what he thinks is beautiful. The result is a torrent of marvelous, quirky, vivid, poignant images that offer a view of a world that “neurotypicals” rarely get to see — the non-verbal autistic mind from the inside, looking out.
If the answer is yes, then what we knew as photojournalism at it’s purest form is over and POYi just killed it.

I spent a lot of time researching on surveillance but I realized that there are actually not that many images accessible that show the act of surveillance from the point of view of the observer. Sure, we all know what an image taken by a surveillance camera looks like, nevertheless I thought that there must be more than this.

Of this series ‘Last Meals‘, he writes, ‘The series visually documents the face and last meal of convicted killers. I created this project to explore the interesting and unique relationship humans have with food and used the last meal as a metaphor to raise questions about the death penalty. In 2010 this photo essay traveled to Singapore to be shown in the Singapore Fringe Festival: Art and the Law. Ironically, Singapore has an extremely strict death penalty stance and I was informed that it is part of school curriculum to watch an execution take place. This is an ongoing project and I am currently researching publishers to make this into a photo book’.
I was in Houston, Texas, to shoot a wedding this weekend for a quick 36 hours. On Saturday, I took advantage of being a father and not being able to sleep in for the life of me.

Humor is probably the hardest thing to photograph. And it’s often said luck favors the photographer who is prepared. But luck does not explain the many, many very funny images this man has accumulated.
As Egyptian authorities are increasingly targeting journalists, Magnum photographer Peter van Agtmael recounts to BJP how he was attacked by pro-Mubarak protestors
The only way I can describe the situation today is that it was totally old school, just people with rocks, sticks and fists. It felt almost historical. It was probably more like how the American Revolution was fought. Or a fight in 683 BC. Just thousan
