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 [...]

The case that opens today according to NPPA: In a case that could set precedent in online copyright legislation and impact photographers around the world, oral arguments are scheduled to begin Friday in a New York City courtroom in freelance photojournalist Daniel Morel’s claim against Agence France-Presse. Morel is suing AFP for using, without his [...] “Portents – Art giving voice to Community, Bristol” I was just coming down Park Street in Bristol when I saw all the tents for the Portents project across College Green. They really make a stunning sight. “Portents is an ambitious project bringing the different communities of Bristol together through public art. It will fill one [...] 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 [...] 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). [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] 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 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 [...] 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? [...] 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. 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 [...] 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 [...] Much better than anything you’ll find here.
