Among the items of interest to photographers are the new EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye and other recently-announced lenses, the EOS 60D, the barcode-reading EOS 7D solution and an elaborate remote camera management demonstration that, if commercialized, would streamline the setup of potentially thousands of Canon digital SLRs deployed at locations across the country. Plus, a 30 inch computer display that is the sharpest desktop screen we’ve ever seen.

I met London photographer, Rizwan Mirza, several months ago. He had attended FotoFest and was making his way west, connecting with photographers and galleries and squeezing the most of his trip to the states. Rizwan was born in Liverpool, studied photography at Derby University, and in 2005, he completed a MA in Documentary Film at Goldsmiths College, London. He has a host of awards and exhibitions that reflect a sophisticated and intelligent approach to his image making.
John Cyr has been sending letters, putting his foot in doors and hounding famous photogs. All to secure some quiet time with an empty tray and pay homage to the age-old art of silver gelatin printing and its unsung, shallow-dish heroes. In the era of Phot

Corinne Day hit the headlines in 1990 with a grungy shoot for The Face featuring a then-unknown Kate Moss. She built a highly respected career in fashion and art over the next years but has died, tragically young, after a long illness.

I managed to snag a few moments (over email) with Jason Cone, executive producer of the Starved for Attention films and MSF’s Communications Director based out of New York, and Ron Haviv, one of VII’s founding members. I wanted to ask the two about how NGOs and photographers work together, how a campaign such as this is produced, and how NGOs and journalists work to get stories out to a wide audience within such a fractured media environment.
