A couple of weeks ago I found myself composing an email to Ned Bunnell, President of Pentax Imaging USA, to ask him to clarify a rumor. I ended up including so many questions that I decided to scrap the email and just ask him if he had time for an interview. Fortunately, I caught him between trips, so we were able to get some exchanges in before Ned returned to Japan, where he is now. What follows is edited from our correspondence.

National Geographic is once again holding their annual Photo Contest, with the deadline for submissions coming up on November 30th. For the past eight weeks, they have been gathering and presenting galleries of submissions, encouraging readers to rate them as well. National Geographic was again kind enough to let me choose some of their entries from 2010 for display here on The Big Picture. Collected below are 47 images from the three categories of People, Places and Nature. Captions were written by the individual photographers. (47 photos total)

x17online reports that Brad Pitt’s Leica S2 camera got stolen in Budapest. The same website shows a series of pictures of the actor with what appears to be a Leica R8 camera (and not S2). At least we know that Mr. Pitt is shooting film ? Related posts: Ho

A little while ago, Benjamin of duckrabbit fame sent me an email, telling me about Ivor Prickett and his story about Abkhazia. I like Ivor’s work very much, and since there currently is so much talk about how photojournalism is presumably dead (or maybe not) and about the relationship between photojournalism, documentary photography and what we call “fine art” photography (for a lack of a better term), I approached him to talk about his work.

Sprawled across the tail end of the Rocky Mountains where the starved Rio Bravo pushes mud through a barren desert valley sits Ciudad Juarez, one of most violent cities in the world – historically known as El Paso del Norte or The Northern Pass. Over the past three years over 5,000 people have lost their lives in a struggle for power thats roots reach deep into Mexico’s history. Here Mexicans are still fighting the same class war that led them into a revolution in 1911, as droves of unemployed and disillusioned youth turn to crime to move up in a society that’s class lines are firmly drawn.
In WDC, on assignment. Down-time. Check email. Friend request. Wander to Facebook. Oh, it’s someone from Baptist Town. Confirm. A post on her wall makes me stop. It says “RIP Butta”. Confused, but not yet alarmed, I go to another person’s page. A post on Nikki’s wall says the same. My blood runs cold. Find my phone, start dialing numbers. Sylvester Hoover, the man who owns the one business in Baptist Town, a convenience store and laundromat, is the first to answer. “Yeah, Butta’s dead” he tells me. “He was shot and killed yesterday.”
