In many ways I am surprised it has taken so long for a reel of film to make such an immediate impact on American audiences. The wikileaked military footage Collateral Murder shows us exactly what war is; war is the erasure of doubt, benefit of doubt in the face of procedure. The procedure of war is to kill.
Print instagram photos onto lush matte square photo paper. Your 25 best square pics have a crisp white border and paper thick enough to prop or pin anywhere.
So we took 336 photos with every possible combination of the Hipstamatic arsenal. (Because we love you.) And we even broken it down into an easy guide to tell you which combos go together. (Ditto.)
The iPad is retrograde. It tries to turn us back into an audience again. That is why media companies and advertisers are embracing it so fervently, because they think it returns us all to their good old days when we just consumed, we didn’t create, when they controlled our media experience and business models and we came to them. The most absurd, extreme illustration is Time Magazine’s app, which is essentially a PDF of the magazine (with the odd video snippet). It’s worse than the web: we can’t comment; we can’t remix; we can’t click out; we can’t link in, and they think this is worth $4.99 a week. But the pictures are pretty.
To piggyback on the New York Times article from last week (our post on it is here), the Guardian weighs in on the challenge professionals photographers are facing from the surge of amateurs in rece…
I always bristle at the mindset from digital enthusiasts that all these outmoded industries – music, movies, journalism, photography – just need to adapt to the changing landscape.

The National Press Photographers Association’s general counsel has filed NPPA’s comments with the New York City Police Department’s Legal Bureau regarding the NYPD’s proposed rule changes about the process for issuing city press credentials, one-time event credentials, and defining who is eligible to receive an NYPD press pass.
CHARLOTTE, NC – AUGUST 24: 3-Time Olympian Scott Shipley of the USA paddles down the rapids during the official training session for the US Slalom Kayaking Championships on August 24, 2006 in…
came upon an article about the US Slalom Kayaking Championships being held at the recently opened US National Whitewater Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. I immediately thought, “If I can set up a remote underwater in a pool and on a bobsled going 80 miles per hour, why can’t I do one for a kayak?”
Christoph Bangert shares photographs from his recent reporting trip to Kandahar, perhaps some of the last photos to be taken by a Western photographer in the city, which is bracing for a major offensive in the coming months.
Despite the seeming normalcy, it was still considered to be too dangerous for a Western photographer like me to work openly in the streets as my colleague Tyler Hicks had been able to do only five months earlier.
The resulting pictures that I took from a local car traveling in the center and on the outskirts of Kandahar are only a glimpse or mere impression of Kandahar before the upcoming battle, but they may well be some of the last images by a Western photographer taken in this city unilaterally for a long time.
One big missing feature in the WSJ and NYT iPad apps: You can’t copy text. Take a screen cap of it all you want, but you can’t get the actual text. That’s a basic function on a computer, and the iPad has a clever cut-and-paste function, but it doesn’t work here.
Update, 9pm PT: The US military has issued a statement on the massacre investigation (6.52MB PDF). An update on that video released earlier today by Wikileaks, which shows US occupying forces shoot…
An update on that video released earlier today by Wikileaks, which shows US occupying forces shooting and killing civilians—including two Reuters journalists in Baghdad. Wikileaks has released additional photographs and video that provide more background.
Thirty-year-old photographer,Thomas Prior, lives and works in Brooklyn. He received a BFA in Photography from SVA in 2002 and was recently included in PDN’s 30.
So when I saw Bill Wadman’s 365 Portrait project, I realized what a huge undertaking it was for him to make a portrait a day for an entire year. That got me thinking about what I could do and I came up with the idea of making a portrait a day for 30 days of total strangers. 30 portraits in 30 days of 30 people I had never met before.
Because the seed of this project came from Bill, I thought it would be great to interview him while I’m doing the 30 Strangers project again and ask him about his own process, his reason for doing it, what he learned, and other such things. He graciously agreed. And so, here is an interview
You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll marvel at the wonders of the circus world recorded by Frederick W. Glasier. Shane Dixon Kavanaugh stopped in at the big top.
Frederick W. Glasier spent the beginning of the 20th century capturing the Greatest Show on Earth. Wielding a 20-pound, 8-by-10 King view camera, he trailed the street parades before the show, the back-lot scenes behind the big top, the high-wire acts that unfolded beneath it. His photographic feats conjured the entire spectacle of the show.

This week we’ll take a look at a couple of incarnations of the Work for Hire beast and try to play a game of follow-the-bouncing-ball to see where the photographer’s rights go when the song comes to an end.
Before all the iPad buzz has even had a chance to fizzle, Apple this morning sent e-mails inviting press to a sneak preview of the next-generation iPhone operating system. The event is scheduled for Thursday, 10 a.m. PT at Apple headquarters. Apple has no
I’d like to warn you that this footage has a relatively tight field of vision, and is quite a bit more graphic than some bombs-bursting style aerial attack video you may have seen before. Also seems worth noting that the pilots, if WikiLeaks’s annotations are correct, confused the camera held by Namir Noor-Eldeen, the 22-year-old photographer killed that day, for an rocket propelled grenade.
It was either Beierle or Keijser (one of the Mrs. Deane halflings) who emailed and pointed out Simon Menner’s photographic series Objects – 2010. Typology is a trendy term that gets ba…
Brett Yasko produced the independent book Shiv that features eleven prisoner-made weapons from the collection of Chris Kasabach and Vanessa Sica. The shivs were confiscated in the 1980s at Rahway – now known as East Jersey State Prison. Yasko’s photographs were presented in Design Observer’s feature Art of the Shiv.
