It’s more than six weeks since a devastating earthquake hit Haiti and the continuing crisis there has well and truly slipped from the headlines – the reason why VII and video site telegraph21 have published this multimedia piece by photographer Ron Haviv, who arrived on the island 24 hours after the quake.

I made these images between 2003 and 2005 in a period where I was working in Milan, and every day of the week I spent around 40 minutes on the tube in the morning and other 40 in the evening. After a while I noticed that people in the metro look different than when they are outside of it. In the metro many of the passengers seem to be bored, sad and afraid, looking at empty space in a sort of open eyes dream. I tried to catch the expressions, the movements, the thoughts of these persons. I’ve organized the presentation like a subway travel, from the entrance on the metro, the waiting of the train, the transportation, the stops, the arrival and the way out.

While all the blogs I’m reading are photo heavy, they’re NOT the “Big Picture” kind of galleries. These are all nuts and bolts journals, full of talk about cameras, crampons and carabiners, long lenses, sleeping on buses, exchanging photo position armbands, setting up remotes, shopping for Olympic souvenirs, eating Dungeness crabs, snapping fellow photogs (with awe-inspiring backgrounds), queuing, RAW and DSLRs, jaywalking, shoveling “snow steps,” NPS and CPS reps, behind-the-scenes stuff, and more, eh?

Given the level of interest in this new technology – I though that readers might appreciate a slide show of images that show what such a production might entail in terms of gear. Please note that over the next few weeks I will be going over the gear that I used in this production on this blog in detail – so please hold all of your gear questions for now.

The book contains essays by Kaneko and Vartanian. Kaneko’s essay recounts his personal journey with the photobook, a unique one since few people were buying photobooks when he did (to the point where he once ordered a book only to have the publisher turn up at his door to deliver it himself because he thought it would be cheaper than sending it in the mail).

I would have thought we are at saturation point for photojournalists, but then you have the colleges churning out thousands of graduates each year, so its all a bit worrying really.

I was talking with Vincent Laforet about the contest he’s working on with Vimeo and Canon called “Beyond The Still” (here) and I decided to take the opportunity to interview him about his own transition from newspaper photographer to Hollywood commercial director. I was as big a skeptic as any when Vincent released “Reverie,” the first short photographed with a 5D that read more like a cologne commercial, but the list of elite DP’s who’ve volunteered to judge this contest has me believing people are really embracing the new technology and running with it. I give it up to Vincent for being on the tip of the spear with where this is headed and bringing his professionalism and sense of community with him.
Last November, the Danish photographer Jan Grarup traveled to East Africa to document refugees as they struggle for survival. He began in the enormous refugee camp in Dadaab, Kenya, near the Somali border. He ended three weeks later in Yemen.
