Berlin-based photographer Adam Magyar sees things differently that most humans, and that’s one reason his art is so completely unique and captivating.
Having been raised in Israel, I was regularly exposed to strong religious, social and political beliefs and ideas from an early age. Holy sites situated throughout Israel make the (physically) small country extremely important for Jews, Christians, Muslims and followers of many other religions. The region’s history combined with the volatile political situation today, result in a complex and intense reality in which people emphatically and publicly express themselves.

Easy to say? He covers war.

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.

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.
