I know we all like to talk about how photographs have the power to tell stories and cause change. And we all also like to smirk at this lofty goal. But, sometimes, a single photograph manages to do both, and do it in a very powerful way. And this is one of those times. [...] Sharing this little “list in development” from John Perivolaris who has been posting it on his Twitter stream recently. I know I’m guilty of at least one of these, yet I also groan in the inward sense whenever I (frequently) read or hear other photographers talking in this glorified manner about work photographs that leave [...] Interviewer: Don’t you want to make money? Beefheart: Sure Interviewer: Then why don’t you go commercial? Beefheart: I think, either I’m too smart…or too dumb. I don’t know which. (My normal ranty long posts will resume shortly – hopefully interspersed with more of the recent music goodness…) swfobject.embedSWF(“http://www.youtube.com/v/dBa8bS_vZkM&rel=0&fs=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=0″, “vvq-18831-youtube-1″, “700″, “567″, “10″, vvqexpressinstall, vvqflashvars, vvqparams, vvqattributes); To Shush As Much As You Talk, So Everyone Else Can Have An Opportunity…” http://www.vimeo.com/27632537 “So many blessings and so many lessons…” “For it to be great, everyone has to get along, for you to be one…” “It’s always teaching you something…the music. You can never know too much….” (emphasis is mine and for good [...] So it isn’t photojourno at all, but I really don’t care. It’s great music, and great video work. Isn’t that enough sometimes? Enjoy… http://www.vimeo.com/29385978 No joke. I like my gadgets and I like my software. As proof of my serious geekery, a quick tool around my studio easily reveals several Apple products, quite a bit of Nikon, various nicely branded mics, interfaces, etc., and audio editing software that includes, yes, both Logic Pro and Nuendo (4, Nuendo 4, not [...] I have no big speech of indignation to issue about this. Just watch the video. It’s obvious. Some “civil society” we supposedly live in. An open letter to Chancellor Linda P.B. Katehi from Assistant Professor Nathan Brown, an untenured professor at UC Davis. And the petition calling for the Chancellor of UC Davis to [...] With all the debate both about how war is photographed and about Africa is photographed, this African football tournament for amputees injured in war seems like an interesting story to tell as an alternative narrative. Football is immensely popular in the continent, and sport is often used as a strong tool by which to help [...] Approaching infinity A Gödel number gave up, Leaving history incomplete But, at least, Consistent. There’s been a great discussion on the Facebook Flak Photo Network about how Social Media has changed things for photographers, if it has done so. It draws from this post by Joerg Colberg on Conscientious, arguing that social media benefits the marketing-savvy of photographers, to the detriment of those lacking business skills, or those [...] I was reading this piece on the BBC, which talks about the upcoming Leonardo Da Vinci exhibition at the National Gallery. In it, the show’s curator, Luke Syson, argues that each Da Vinci painting needs at least 10 minutes’ of looking to really appreciate it. Which reminded me of something an art friend once told [...] Jimi Hendrix was a soldier in (and then discharged from) from the US army prior to being the world famous legendary guitar player we all know and love. The guy who wrote Machine Gun, had this written about his military conduct by James C. Spears, Plt Sgt of the Service, Supply, and Evacuation Platoon. Jimi [...] Open Eye Gallery Launch Party, 4th November, 2011. Image by Sara T'Rula. After being closed to the public since spring this year, Open Eye re-opened this weekend in their new space on Liverpool’s Waterfront, with two strong shows, Mitch Epstein’s American Power, and Chris Steele-Perkins’ The Pleasure Principle. We have pics, so it definitely [...] It seems that Vogue have decided to develop a Social Responsibility Programme, by photographing exclusive designer bags and clothing being modelled by the Indian poor. Classy. Vogue India editor Priya Tanna’s response to those critical of this? “Lighten up.” And, “You have to remember with fashion, you can’t take it that seriously.” And, “We weren’t [...] A note from Aaron Schuman (shared via Facebook’s Flak Photo Network) “Hi All, Just a warning – someone is apparently trying to infiltrate and defraud the photography community…firstly someone started posing as me (poorly), advertised a ‘PA’ job on Craigslist, and is now asking the applicants to send money via Western Union to a ‘orphanage [...] |
