What a wonderful idea. http://www.vimeo.com/35007176 “Abundance is a fruit harvesting and distribution project that started in Sheffield and since has inspired similar projects across the country. “It’s basically legal scrumping. Tree owners call Abundance, Abundance round up the volunteers, they harvest the fruit, returning some to the owners, and distributing, pickling, or making chutney with [...] As well as being the 10th anniversary of 9/11, tomorrow also marks the six-month anniversary of the devastating Japanese earthquake and tsunami. And there, an army of volunteers have spent recent months working to restore and return photographs damaged in the March 11 disaster in order to save the nation’s memories. Click below for the [...] 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 [...] Making the transition from still photography to videography is bloody hard. There are no short cuts. But rarely has someone made the transition so convincingly as Chinese based photographer Sean Gallagher. Armed with a grant from the Pulitzer Centre he’s been investigating the plight of the Chinese alligator. Watch his short film and then read [...] As you’ve probably read over the last week, we’re big fans of photo-blogs like the New York Times’ Lens blog, which showcase some of the best photography from around the world each and every day. Alongside Lens, there’s also the Big Picture, run by the Boston Globe. Again, it shows big images every day from [...] I tried to think of something clever to put here. Pointless. LOOK. Sometimes you have to just sit back and marvel at the power of Mother Nature. These photos by Icelandic photographer Ragnar Th. Sigurdsson of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano – currently causing so much misery for air passengers, airlines and not forgetting fruit, veg and flower growers in many developing countries – are quite incredible. First [...] Answers to the following questions will not be found here or here: Who are these villagers? What are their lives like? How do they know how to strip an elephant? What use is made of its bones, meat etc? Why are they ’starved of meat’? What makes the elephant a valuable commodity? What is the [...] Watch this video featuring National Geographic photographer Paul Nicklen … really do!
Yesterday in London I decided to get wonderfully lost. I had some hours to kill and so I started walking along the river not really caring where I ended up. Where I ended up was the small but popular gallery beneath the OXO Tower, only 10 minutes from where I started. The building used to [...] …to show you the importance of stepping back, and slowing down. …and sometimes we don’t even need a human being to take it. ADAM WESTBROOK If you have no knowledge about East Africa you might actually believe a statement like the one written above presumably by the photographer Stephano de Luigi on the VII website. I’m wracking my brains to imagine how he (or someone else) could have got it so wrong, and how no-one else has spotted it? [...] Its brilliant that Oxfam have put so much effort into creating an online documentary about the effects of climate change on the people of Bangladesh. On the upside Oxfam used a local media team who were on the scene when cyclone Aila hit. Respect. There’s also a clear way of responding by sending a message [...] Keeping with the theme of environmental issues, mediastorm‘s latest multimedia feature is an exploration of the crisis posed by open-cast mining in the mountains of West Virginia, USA. Leveling Appalachia was put together for Yale Environment 360 and tells the chilling story of how flattening the hills in the quest for coal is also [...] Great photo’s, but if the world is any less fucked for them I’m a coconut. (let’s face it we’re only talking about this award because the winner gets £50000) UPDATE On the Prix Pictet website Kofi Annan has said that, The photographs were a compelling call for action to tackle climate change, the most [...] I have decided to put up a selection of images that I shot in Bangladesh over the couple of weeks that Benjamin and I were there. I have chosen to present this selection in mono as I feel that works best for most of these images. Originally of course they were all spat out of [...] Seriously, I’m a big Obama fan and I think he’s done a lot already in reaching out to the world, but it seems a bit premature. America, alongside China and India, is currently responsible for a large proportion of the world’s emissions of co2, the stuff that causes climate change. We’re pretty bad in [...] An incredible set of pictures. Photography dead anyone?
