Do You Ever Feel This Way?
Do you ever feel like you have to go take pictures of something? This morning we had a late winter snowstorm that came down in big, sticky flakes and stuck to everything. Stop signs were white, not red; trees, cars, shopping carts at the grocery store, even power and telephone wires were coated ...
That post was a tack sharp double-truck in Life. Well done. I am eying "The Rose".

Seshu, a good shooter, but more importantly a really great guy, was kind enough to lend me some space on his blog Tiffinbox today. You can read my piece here. Maybe I was a little too honest, but that's life. I mean, I'm always stepping into the lives of others with my work, so here's a peek int...
Here's a take on the topic from slightly different angle from The New Republic...

Broken Things, Part 2
Why does it matter? We all know there was an earthquake. We all know that tens if not hundreds of thousands of lives have been lost. How will images that are slightly better, or slideshows that are properly edited, make the situation in Haiti any better? Photographers, and the media in general, ...
I'd think cherry pie over-sharpened is better than cherry pie over-saturated, though I've not tasted either.
Aren't we past being shocked when people are mean to each other on the web?

Kenneth Jarecke/Contact Press Images Jim Nachtwey, a PFJ of the first order, is taking an undeserved beating over an offer for an unpaid internship. The controversy started here, on a blog called Jamie's List. Personally, I think interns should be paid, for a couple of reasons. One, the overh...
These fine shots of Geitner are photos that speak to me of the game photographers play with themselves when they know they are getting a good shot that might speak to the larger story, even when the shot itself doesn't reflect the reality of the situation.
It looks to me like Geitner is using the speaker phone, and his distraction makes him look deep in thought and/or worry. For all we know, he was making a dentist appointment.
Regardless, the dance between journalist and subject over access and coverage is an age-old one, and Geitner knows the steps - or at least he should, before getting on the dance floor with an expert like Lowy.

Geithner OMG
At the NY Fed, the supposed watchdog had an all too cozy relationship with Wall Street and Citi Group. Once nominated for Treasury Secretary, he stumbled out of the gate as a result of several years shorting his taxes. He stumbled again with the "O" banking plan. He owes Summers like Chene...
