Inside Magazine – New Publication
Friday, April 9, 2010
Martin Bandzak, John Vink of Magnum photos and others have work in a new magazine called Inside Magazine financially supported by Slovakaid and other parties. It looks like it’s free for a hard copy as well (you pay shipping) but it’s 432 pages and hardcover. It looks interesting and each issue explores a topic in [...]
Respect. Magazine
Sunday, January 31, 2010
Browsing the shelves of a book store last night I found a new publication called Respect. Magazine.
It’s a photography centric hip-hop publication featuring lots of great portfolios of people who have photographed hip-hop for years and isn’t juiced with ads. Not sure if it’ll be around for the long haul but it looks good and [...]
Leveling Appalachia
Wednesday, October 14, 2009
Chad Stevens, a professor at UNC and a classmate/instructor friend of my from when I was at grad school in Athens has recently put out a piece with Yale and Mediastorm that studies the effects of mountaintop removal, which is a really important issue to me. Also, fellow Chicago photog Daniel Shea has some images [...]
Gigi Cifali
Wednesday, August 19, 2009
NPR’s Picture Show Blog is a good place to see good work. Just when I think I’m completely sick of looking at photography I see a project that revitalizes and excites me. Today that project was Gigi Cigali’s Absence of Water. Great project that tells a story just as well as any traditional newspaper picture [...]
How some people who feed your brain think…
Monday, August 17, 2009
Recently I posted over on the APAD blog a little article quoting some editors over at SELF magazine speaking about the photoshop retouch work that goes on for their magazine covers, or specifically, their latest cover with Kelly Clarkson. Former classmate Andrea Morales pointed it out to me via facebook.
Ironically, I subscribe to mostly text-heavy [...]
The current value of photographs
Saturday, July 18, 2009
$7 ….?? So agrees Sotomayor. This court ruling, in which Sotomayor had connections to the defendant (never disclosed) says effectively that a photojournalist’s original work that were lost by Corbis were worth $7 a piece. They lost a lot of images, so he walked away with a $100,000+ settlement, but this is nothing in terms [...]
Classmates: Dinara Sagatova
Tuesday, May 26, 2009
Dinara, an interactive media student (disclaimer, she’s also my girlfriend) here at Ohio University has just finished a website about the former nuclear test site of Semipalatinsk polygon in her home country of Kazakhstan.
It’s a pretty fascinating site, which is the culmination of research and two trips to the region where she went to villages [...]
@ Burn Magazine: One of the worst environmental disasters ever.
Saturday, May 9, 2009
Something that is encouraging about the plethora of online publishing options out there today is that professional journalists can put their work out there more easily, and in the case of photographer Carlan Tapp, he has managed to get his essay on the TVA Fly Ash spill up at David Alan Harvey’s Burn Magazine. Sure, [...]
Dark Tourism
Sunday, April 26, 2009
In a moment of boredom I was browsing through this year’s World Press Photo winners and I was brought back to a series that interested me initially when I looked at the winners a month or two ago, but one that I didn’t quite “get” at the moment, pretty much because I only fleetingly glanced [...]
