In “Images of War, Finally Unpacked,” Holland Cotter reviews an exhibition called “The Mexican Suitcase” at the International Center of Photography in New York, which documents wartime life in Spain between 1936 and 1939 through the eyes of three photographers — Robert Capa, Gerda Taro and David Seymour (Chim) — in images no one seems to have seen for more than a half century.
“The Mexican Suitcase” at the International Center of Photography features recently recovered images of the Spanish Civil War by Robert Capa, Gerda Taro and David Seymour.

I’m sorry, as cool as your out-of-focus, Hipstawhatever iPhone looks, it isn’t creative.
I don’t know how more bluntly to put it, but the proliferation of imagery lately is slowly sucking the creativity out of photography. In fact, it has become more formulaic than anything else. I’m just as guilty. Just scroll down and see my last post. I find a wall with some random graffiti cover-up and a splash of paint and I nearly wet myself. It’s refreshing. Therapeutic. Completely worthless and self-absorbed. I have come to a realization that I am contributing to the decline of photography with every click of my camera.
You are too.

I guess I am pondering creativity tonight because of a comment one of my favorite photographers, Chip Litherland, made recently on aphotoaday, an online community of mostly young photographers.

At Hasselblad we’ve worked for years with Multi-shot, which moves the sensor between different shots. If you move sensor for one pixel in one direction it generates full colour information for each pixel. And additional half-pixel movements doubles the resolution in two directions

CLICK NOTE: Cool information about the Leica S System from Photokina. This also caught my eye:
In one of my meetings during the day I had the opportunity to try out the M9 Titan. The camera is really a work of art and looking through the viewfinder and its bright red frame lines, I felt like I was targeting a missile or the like.
