Jason Bourne I am not. I have neither the chiseled features nor the eagle-eyed marksmanship. But I do have a little bit of guile, a closet full of button-up shirts and a spare ¥4,980 (about $58) to spend, so my international spy career may just get off th

I started this list as I thought of who all the great street photographers might be. But I stopped early, realizing that in photojournalism (or any of its other pseudonyms) we all photograph life in the street.
The FBI ordered wikipedia to remove its seal from the article there about the bureau. It threatened to litigate. Unfortunately for the FBI, the law it cited is the one that forbids making counterfe…

Photokina is the biggest photography equipment show in the world and it takes place every two years in Cologne, Germany. For Leica Camera AG, this is their “home turf” – Solms is 150km/100miles away from Cologne. As Rudi Spiller mentioned on the last fina

With Storm, Paolo Pellegrin takes a fresh and personal look into fashion. Through an exploration of the Present, he portrays his dreamlike vision of the future, involving in the course of pages a unique collection of landscapes from all over the planet – passing from the most condensed asian metropoles to Iceland, from an unseen Dubai to an oniric New York City, to Siberia – unconventional fashion series, ghost imaginary and a gallery of some of the key visionaries of our days – including the director Alejandro Jodorowsky, the fashion designer Vivienne Westwood, the architect Sir Norman Foster, the fashion designer Ms Stella McCartney, the Chairman John Elkington, the designer Mr Bruce Mau, among others. An inner journey, between fiction and reality, through mankind’s present position toward the planet.
Yesterday I came across a slightly mysterious website — a collection of Polaroids, one per day, from March 31, 1979 through October 25, 1997. There’s no author listed, no contact info, and no other indication as to where these came from. So, naturally, I started looking through the photos. I was stunned by what I found.

Police officer Joseph Uhler was caught on film charging out of his unmarked car and waving his gun at a unarmed motorcyclist pulled over for speeding. When the footage was uploaded to YouTube, authorities raided Anthony Graber’s home, siezed his computers, arrested him, and charged him with “wiretapping” offenses that could land him in jail for 16 years.
360 Panorama is a new kind of pano-shooting app for the iPhone. Instead of taking many pictures and then stitching them together afterwards, like every other pano app, you just sweep the iPhone across the scene in front of you and 360 Panorama will build

Has the time come to take photojournalism off life-support? After nearly 25 years in the business, agency director Neil Burgess steps forward to make the call.
In April 2009, I joined a flickr group called “Bench Monday,” whose rules were: “Stand on a bench. Make sure it’s Monday. Wear something pretty.” It started innocently, a game of discovery – a bench, a dress, a setting – and as a laboratory for post-processing experiments. The weekly self-imposed assignment, however, transformed into ONCE UPON, a photo-tale exploring the ego and individual in various environments and apparel.
On Monday we took a look at computational rephotography, a technique for making a new photo exactly match the point-of-view of an old photo. Today we take a look at a gallery of photos showing rephotography in action. The pictures have been put together b
The pictures have been put together by Russian whizz Sergey Larenkov and posted on his Livejournal (yes, Livejournal is still around). Larenkov’s trick is to place old wartime pictures into modern settings, feathering the images to make them sit in the middle of modern life. Thus we see troops moving through a modern Vienna street, past stores and cars an tanks on the streets of Prague.
Jesse Chehak has traveled through the West with a pioneer’s spirit of exploration, possibility, uncertainty and longing — conveying a Western identity cobbled together from history, clichés and surprising or quotidian elements, all of it set within the region’s imposing natural landscapes.
That got me thinking… It has to be possible to make my own post-processing presets for Lightroom, to turn my carefully lit, exquisitely sharp and ridiculously high-resolution camera RAW images into blurry, colourful, vastly attractive garbage. So I created a couple of presets for Lightroom 3 – and I’ll walk you through the thinking behind one of them and I’ll show you how to make your own. How’s that for a double whammy of awesome?
In the wake of strong U.S. government statements condemning WikiLeaks’ recent publishing of 77,000 Afghan War documents, the secret-spilling site has posted a mysterious encrypted file labeled “insurance.” The huge file, posted on the Afghan War page at t
The huge file, posted on the Afghan War page at the WikiLeaks site, is 1.4 GB and is encrypted with AES256. The file’s size dwarfs the size of all the other files on the page combined. The file has also been posted on a torrent download site.
Lethbridge (Canada) Herald staff photographer Ian Martens:
It was only when I took my eye from the camera after the peak of the flames that, to my great relief, I saw the pilot’s parachute land safely away from the burning wreckage. I don’t remember seeing the pilot through my viewfinder even though he is in many of the frames of the sequence – I was just so focused on what was happening with that aircraft.
