Buddy of mine Jason Andrew with whom I used to intern at James Nachtwey’s studio at a few years ago recently got 2nd place in the Fujifilm Distinction Awards with the below image from his work in Abkhazia. The winner was Ikuru Kuwajima, who’s work in the Ukraine and surrounding regions has also been some of [...]

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 [...]

A good friend of mine, Neil Osborne (currently in Toronto) is doing some really cool things within his niche lately, like landing an adjunct teaching position at Queen’s University teaching conservation photography and visual communication within their school of environmental studies. Some lucky students there…
But the point of this entry is to point you towards [...]

I’ve watched Max’s work for awhile, since the days when he was a student at Southern Illinois University and would always have better pictures than me in the annual [...]

I finally had the notion to dig deeper and look at more work on his website and, to be honest was not as excited as I was initially after I [...]

I stumbled upon this link recently thanks to DVAfoto, but man is it a great find…especially for someone who consistently is on these streets.
Recently, following her death, Chicago street photographer Vivianne Maier’s photographs are being unearthed and in many cases just being developed for the first time. There are a total of over 40,000 mostly [...]

There’s an interesting conversation with Magnum photographer Christopher Anderson over on the photography blog Conscientous…
Now Anderson is probably someone who most look at as a traditional documentary photojournalist as far as putting people in boxes goes… but have a look at what he says.
The death of journalism is bad for society, but we’ll be better [...]

I was reading an interview on Fecal Face (art website) recently and got pointed to the work of South African photographer Roger Ballen via an inspired painter. He seems to be an interesting case in that his work is clearly on the fine art side of things, but he started out in documentary work. It’s [...]

BAGnewsNotes hired NY freelancer Jason Andrew to photograph the G-20 summit in Pittsburgh over the weekend. New images will be revealed throughout the week as the blog attempts to be “looking at last week’s G20 protests in a way, we believe, that defies conventional thinking.”
The first entry is up and the photograph is a subtle, [...]
