A boy holds his younger brother in Khulna, Bangladesh where there are over 34 million children living in poverty. © Mike Lusmore It’s plain to see that people here in Bangladesh don’t have as much money in their pockets as the average westerner. The majority of children don’t get the education, nutrition and the [...] This is a great job for someone going at Save the Children: Full deets here
close today. Last year they awarded the major grant to Stefano De Luigi for a project title T.I.A, ‘This Is Africa’. If you get to the end of this (extended) post you’ll be able to read what a group of Kenyan photographers think of the judges choice but for those who don’t stay the distance [...] The Democratic Republic of Congo is the most colourful place I’ve ever visited. The women even smile. Madam Agata teaches a group of women in their last month of pregnancy to knit (c) Yasuyoshi Chiba/duckrabbit/MSF Infact it’s the Muzungus (white people) who were the most drab, including this dodgy looking geezer:
duckrabbit [...] If you are a photographer interested in working in the NGO/Humanitarian sector this will interest you. Next week I am training the communications staff working out of MSF Brussels and quite a few of their overseas staff. MSF have an amazing track record of working with photographers and in Bruno, Julie and Olga they run [...] It’s hard to argue with a photographer when they point to a photo of their own that they once loved but now think is a ‘lie’. Simon Sticker has done just that in an interesting post about a photo he took in Rwanda. In photography he says, referring to his own pictures, a ‘lie’ [...] Wish more people made gentle films like this.

Ciara Leeming summed it up beautifully on the BBC recently when she said the problem with many ‘photojournalists’ is that they have little understanding of journalism. Dominic Nahr’s set of pics in TIME is a great example. Why? Where is the coherency and where is the story? To be fair to Dominic he’s run around [...] Some interesting thoughts by Claudia Hinterseer of NOOR Images in this BJP article: “The present is (roughly) making stories on spec and selling pics for publication in print, online and so on, the future is in initiating projects, multimedia, grants and foundations. To survive you have to do both for a period of time.” Hinterseer [...] Thank you for your response to my post yesterday critisizing the way way certain photo agencies seem content to abuse the rights of indvidual photographers. I am sorry that we misunderstood you. Might that have something to do with upholding a logic that many people find is at odds with your self stated remit of [...] Tonight I have followed Rabbit’s link to Jodi Bieber’s powerful and dignified photos of women in Afghanistan. I then went to look at the Editor of TIME, RICHARD STENGE’s, explanation of why he put the following photograph on the front cover: ‘Our cover image this week is powerful, shocking and disturbing. It is [...] ‘I’ve avoided the temptation to say that, in the United States, poverty is white. It’s true, however, that there are twice as many poor whites as there are poor blacks. While a larger percentage of the African-American population lives in poverty, the sheer number of poor whites — 24.1 million — overwhelms the number [...] |
