Audio slideshow: Inside Associated Press
From the website: As the agency publishes Breaking News, a history of its role reporting war and peace around the world, the BBC asks three AP photographers - Horst Faas, a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner most famous for his work during the Vietnam War, Santiago Lyon, AP's current global director of photography, and Oded Balilty, an Israeli who won a 2007 Pulitzer Prize for breaking news photography - for their views on the dangers of carrying cameras in conflict.

How to Photograph Bugs and Other Insects by Christopher Badzioch
From the website: Cristopher Badzioch proves that it's not always the most expensive and specialized gear that makes a great photo -- it's the eye, vision, a sharpie marker, some electrical tape and a cheap homemade sweep that really matter when it comes to making amazingly detailed, dramatic insect "portraits."

A flying Nokia N95 by Eirik Solheim
From the website: Today has to be a nice day for an article about something that you can’t possibly do with an iPhone. Simply because it totally lacks one feature. Namely, high quality video recording.

| Kameraflage |
From the website: Taking advantage of the fact that digital cameras see a broader spectrum of light (i.e., they see more colors) than human eyes Kameraflage takes digital photography to a new level. Engineering text or designs in these invisible colors into objects creates displays that are invisible to the naked eye yet can be seen when imaged with a digital camera. Potential applications include everything from clothing to billboards, and even movies.

Unleashing "The Beast" by Mal Langsdon
From the website: There is one specific image I am after today. The challenge is to bag a clean, tight frame of France's president Sarkozy surrounded by the mounted Republican guard as he waves from a command car driving down the Champs Elysee. This year we have a new president so it becomes more important not to screw up.

St. John's Art Professor Champions Social Justice through the Lens
From the website: "When you photograph a person, you're basically keeping a little fraction of time," she explains. "It becomes an image of contemplation, allowing you to go back, re-look at the photo and see a person is an individual — with a face, an expression, a set of issues, just like me. Re-looking at photos helps us consider the dignity of human beings and helps us realize how much we have in common with each other."

| Henry Wessel |
From the website: A dirty kitchen, a motionless man watching a flock of birds taking flight, a woman disappearing around the corner of a motel building -- these are the kinds of seemingly mundane scenes photographer Henry Wessel has been capturing since the 1960s. But under his careful hand and watchful eye, these scenes are transformed into unique and unforgettable images of life in the American West, and in California in particular, that led the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art to launch a major retrospective of Wessel's work in 2007.

Marianne Brandt - Cut-and-Paste History by Kathryn Shattuck
From the website: MORE than any other genre or medium, photomontage was the pre-eminent symbol of Modernity in the 1920s and '30s, according to Matthew S. Witkovsky, the curator of "Foto: Modernity in Central Europe, 1918-1945" at the National Gallery of Art in Washington. "It was the ultimate symbol in the play between the singular artist and mass media that defines the times, in terms of photography," he explained.

Meet David Hilliard by Chantal Stone
From the website: I also like a tension between a real event and something staged/static. A tension between reality and fiction. I think this goes back to my boyhood desire to control things that I couldn't.

Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire by Errol Morris
From the website: Pictures are supposed to be worth a thousand words. But a picture unaccompanied by words may not mean anything at all. Do pictures provide evidence? And if so, evidence of what? And, of course, the underlying question: do they tell the truth?

Welcome to Hell: Interview with Conflict Photographer Alex Smailes by Ryan Goodman
From the website: Hello there fellow camera nymphomaniacs! Today we are very excited to bring you part one of a three part interview with Alex Smailes, a Trinidad-based professional photographer. Alex began his professional career as an underwater photographer, but quickly found an obsession with photojournalism...to be more specific, conflict photography. A small disclaimer before you continue, some of the stories to come are a bit graphic, a little scary and for the most part un-friggin-believable. In Part one, Alex tells of his beginnings, and early experiences as a young photographer trying to make a name for himself.

VIP, very important photographs
From the website: People are regarded as VIPs for many reasons – for being brilliant and talented, for being rich and powerful. Some by virtue of hard work and merit, others by notorious misadventure. In this exhibition, rare and treasured photographs, from the national collection, take to the red carpet to show themselves off in all their glory. It celebrates the twenty-fifth anniversary in 2007 of the first displays of photography included in the inaugural exhibitions for the opening of the National Gallery of Australia building in 1982. Like their human equivalents, there is a variety of explanations for why some photographs are celebrated, why some garner such widespread admiration that they achieve iconic status. Needless to say, big and brash or small and dignified, they all have an essential quality that raises them above the ordinary. If they were people, you would say they had charisma.

Why Print Your Own Work? by Alain Briot
From the website: The question sounds ludicrous and in a way it is; but it is a question I was asked and therefore it is a one that is obviously on the minds of some people. In a way, this question points to a deeper problem - a problem that I would describe as a certain lack of knowledge of the digital photographic process in particular and of the artistic process in general. For this reason I decided to write an essay on a subject that I would, otherwise, have brushed off to the side as irrelevant and a waste of my time.

Rendering the print: The Art of Photography (Adobe Technical Paper) by Karl Lang (PDF)
From the website: Karl Lang writes, "Digital Raw photography—the use of raw sensor data instead of a camera-processed JPEG as a starting point for photographers—is often a topic of controversy. Photographers make statements such as "my prints look good, I don't see any need for Raw" and "I adjust my images in Photoshop, it works just fine" or "all those controls are too much work. I just want my software to match the JPEG." Somewhat complex and widely misunderstood, the Raw workflow was created to return control of the print to the photographer. With traditional film, years and even lifetimes were spent learning the techniques of printing in the darkroom. Modern Raw photography provides even more control with less effort, but some education is still required.

Review: PhotoTune Software's SkinTune 2.0 by Ben Long
From the website: Color accuracy is a big topic in digital photography. Photographers often speak of a camera being more or less accurate in its ability to reproduce colors. The problem with claims of accuracy is that color is a very subjective property, and most of us don't have a perfect memory for color. Further complicating the issue is that the same object in different lighting will appear to be a different color.

From the website: ". . . these children become expert mask-wearers. Masking is part of that invisibility inherent to their position. They wear the faces that are expected of them and often required of them; no one really sees the child underneath the masks. A mask is a place of interaction and engagement - it is the center of a dialogue. It is the heart of collaboration between an audience and a performer, between the one who is seeing and the one who d
