Greg Miller began the series County Fair in 2005, after happening upon the National Date Festival in Indio, California. The common photographic themes prevalent at fairs like the kitsch, the animals and the carnival workers were not interesting to Miller. Instead, it was the fair’s piazza-like orientation that recalled for Miller the experience of photographing in Italy, which he had been doing on and off for five years prior
With the D90′s successor it looks like Nikon are finally getting serious about the DSLR video game. The newly launched D7000 is a huge improvement in video functionality over previous Nikon’s and even has a few surprises up its sleeve.
Steidl recently published Simon’s book Contraband which includes photographs taken at both the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Federal Inspection site and the U.S. Postal Service International Mail Facility at John F. Kennedy International Airport.

Among the conversations was one about what makes a photograph good. And I was thinking after talking that it’s relatively easy to say what makes a photo bad, how to categorize failures, lack of success. But to be able to say what makes a photograph good is much more difficult. Much in the same way it’s easy for people to be generally critical or negative and for some reason it’s more difficult to praise and recognize the positive.

Nikon’s second big announcement today (the other is the hot new D7000) is the SB700 speedlight, a smaller version of the great SB900 and an overpriced replacement for the SB600 (although the SB600 is still available). Nikon makes some of the best flashes

Nikon’s hot new video-shooting D7000 is – on paper – a replacement for the D90. In reality, it puts pretty much every other Nikon crop-frame SLR to shame, and will sit bang in-between the still strong D90 and the top-end D300s. To show you just how good t

I realized that the success of Luceo is a very good rebuttal to those who believe photojournalism is dead. David Walter Banks, Kendrick Brinson, Matt Eich, Kevin German, Daryl Peveto and Matt Slaby are carefully laying plans for careers of 30 to 40 more years. They are all busy with assignments and working on personal projects. They look at the same circumstances Mr. Burgess did and come to an entirely different conclusion.
