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 somewhere on [...] Have you checked out the daily blog Someone Once Told Me? It’s a collection of photographs where the subjects are holding up a phrase someone once told them, that has somehow affected their life. I included it in this list of collaborative photography projects, and was in it last year too (warning, rude words). Well here is [...] Zarina Holmes of Sojourneposse fame has posted an excellent review of Nadia Bettega’s exhibition on Changing The Face of Human Rights at Host Gallery in London. This thought resonates, Her message is clear. We need not look too far if we want to contribute to humanity. The opportunity to do so is right where we are [...] Take a look, what do you see? Now read these two opposing points of view: Each magnificent photo acknowledges what it took to survive. And by their very willingness to be there before the camera, it acknowledges their triumph. It is an honor to bear witness to the radiance of their spirit. The pseudo-tragic lighting creates a false sense [...] Uzbekistan have done themselves no favours on this one…they found photographer and documentary maker Umida Akhmedova guilty. Luckily for her, the judge decided that as it was the, er, 18th anniversary of Uzbeck independence, he would waive the potential three year prison sentence. Phew, what a lucky coincidence. I doubt her ‘let off’ had anything to [...] Sadly people are not really interested in the photographs I take of a rather depressing side of our society – Don McCullin. In 1989, British photojournalist Don McCullin approached the current affairs programme Newsnight with the idea of a highlighting the growing problem of London’s homeless – a short film that can now been seen on the [...] Magnum’s Susan Meiselas on photography’s potential to connect and move audiences by “expanding the circle of knowledge” about human rights and social justice issues. CIARA LEEMING Share [...] Bonjournio mon amigos, Couple more pics for you fine folk. The first one was taken in a tiny village called Forki. I had been walking through the village to take pics of where the water had taken the land, and had found myself quickly surrounded by the local kids. After distracting the youngsters by pointing them towards [...] 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? Of course it [...] There’s lots of them….see for yourself. I think I may have been permanently affected by the pic of Paul and Debbie with the sausage. It’s just not right. Share [...] Next week duckrabbit will be on a panel at Amnesty International debating: Alive or dead? The evolution of photography in the digital age. Photojournalism has been on its knees for some time, with newspapers and magazines no longer willing or able to fund international stories that require high expenses. This is a bad and painful thing for [...] I read a comment on Lightstalkers by a photojournalist who said that growing up in London twenty years ago he wasn’t aware of any racism. It’s typical of a revisionist version of the world that has been prevalent in the comments sections of many photography blogs the past couple of months since Stan Banos sparked a [...] Much better than anything you’ll find here.

I mean the world really doesn’t need another essay about homeless people in New York, right? Wrong. ‘The Urban Cave, is an ongoing effort to document men and women living in makeshift dwellings around New York despite the city’s efforts to empty their encampments.
