Anyone fancy a job? There’s loads here you can be getting on with… Please don’t apply if you are the fussy sort that likes to get paid for their work. That is SO last decade. More here. And now, a comment from our sponsor, Norman Moron: “This appears to be a valid shortcut into the [...] Angel is a three-chapter story seeking to embody the life of an ex-gang member from a Mexico City suburb, his illegal crossing through Ciudad Juarez into the United States and his future life in “the promised land”. The work was produced in conjunction with Mexican writer Rafael Illich between 2007 and 2009. [...] Last night duckrabbit published a post criticizing Andy Levin from 100 Eyes for setting up photography tours to Haiti at $1500 a pop. Andy suggests that duckrabbit are ‘lashing out with out without hearing all the details’. I’m just wondering Andy what those elusive details might be since we have the same access to the [...] but according to duckrabbit’s friends at PDN there’s a much worse crisis going on: We’re very concerned about this at duckrabbit but fortunately Andy Levin at 100 EYES is already on top of the situations. He’s organizing ‘photo aid’ for Haiti. Thank God for Andy … we’d hate to see all those poor photogs starving.

I have some sympathy for Andy because he had a workshop already set up for Haiti, but marketing and profiting(?) from a workshop centered around the crisis, no matter what language he wraps it up in, is beyond [...] But what song?

The building used to [...] Saut d’Eau, Haiti ©Tiana Markova-Gold 2004 An email I just received from a friend in Port-au-Prince: Bodies everywhere. Death in the air.

How can one man have been so gifted in so many disciplines? Haiti is dreamlike, magical, evil, heavenly. It seems as though the fates pointed to Haiti and decided this is where they would put the portal between paradise and hell. Everything — everything — is one or the other. Nothing, not one part of life, lies in between. powerful words from NY Times photographer Maggie Steber [...] Here’s a turn up..rumours are suggesting that the new Nikon D4 will have what Nikon are calling ‘Verifeye’ technology… Basically it appears that the camera produces a hard copy ( a bit like a polaroid, so maybe their resurgence is related? ), from the RAW, of every shot if asked to do so, in negative [...] I’m a fan of citizen journalism and everything it brings, good and bad. It’s an amazing privilege to have such intimate access to people’s lives and experiences, from people who are inevitably closer to the action and better informed than most visiting reporters.
