Presentation is vital to a photographer. This includes editing, sequencing, writing a personal reflection, design layout and final presentation. These are essentials to the success of your project—whether it is an essay, portfolio, multimedia, book or exhibition. In addition, it is becoming crucial for photographers to learn how to create an online presence. During the Summer Sessions at the Visura Lodge participants will receive intensive workshops on these aspects with the aim of making their work ready for formal presentation.Afghan Box Camera Project
As of June 2011 Afghanistan is one of the last places on earth where photographers continue to use a simple type of instant camera called the kamra-e-faoree for means of making a living. The hand-made wooden camera is both camera and darkroom in one and generations of Afghans have had their portraits taken with it, usually for identity photographs. At one stage it was even outlawed when former rulers of Afghanistan, the Taliban, banned photography, forcing photographers to hide or destroy their tools. The aim of the Afghan Box Camera Project is to provide a record of the kamra-e-faoree which as a living form of photography is on the brink of disappearing in Afghanistan.
THE NEXT PHASE is to raise the funds to travel to Peshawar in Pakistan where many Afghan photographers lived as refugees from the 1980s on. A lot of Afghan cultural life has been on the move over the last thirty years and we want the project to reflect that. The clock is still ticking on kickstarter so keep spreading the word! Last year we travelled to Afghanistan to document the last of the Afghan box camera photographers. Our plan was simple: to find some working photographers on the ground and learn as much as we could about them and their cameras before it was too late.

The Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize 2011 - we make money not art
Maja Daniels , Monette and Mady , from the series Rue Des Partants, 2010 Yesterday i went to The Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize 2011 at the National Portrait Gallery in London. The title says it all: a law firm is sponsoring a competition of contemporary portrait photography and 60 of the best entries are exhibited in London. There are cute kids and celebs (sadly, there were no mature men in speedo this year) but because i'm drawn to documentary photos, that's what my quick selection will be about: Olaf Ballnus , ChandigarhFOTOGRAFIA: PARLIAMONE!
L'ingresso della mostra durante l'inaugurazione di MENOTRENTUNO_03 giovane violenza . © Leonardo Riu. * Non sono sardo e sono triste. Un po’ perché non sono figlio di questa splendida terra… ma a cinquant’anni ho imparato a farmene una ragione e quando apro la mia carta di identità penso che tutto sommato poteva andarmi molto peggio. La tristezza che mi invade stasera, quella che non ho imparato a gestire, viene fuori ogni volta che mi devo confrontare con lo spreco di risorse, di idee o, quel che è peggio, di azioni concrete. Per farla breve è il motivo per cui siamo qui stasera a rendermi triste: sì, proprio l’inaugurazione di Menotrentuno .

By Gary Cameron The night before I was to head to central New York state to cover the Wounded Warrior Amputee Softball Team for a Memorial Day weekend story, I played a double-header on my own softball team. As I slid into third base, the opponent’s third baseman’s knee, and my rib cage, met with enough force to make us both wince and hit the ground hard. The next morning, as I packed for the three-day trip, the pain persisted to the point that it made me wonder how I was going to carry gear and work long days. My second thought was: “Gary, you are such a frigging wimp.”

Dopo aver fatto anni fa una galleria su il muro di Gaza dove nessuna foto era stata scattata nella Striscia e tutte invece documentavano lo stato dell'arte nella costruzione del muro in Cisgiordania, ora, non soddisfatti ci riprovano e a corredo di un articolo sui recenti bombardamenti da parte di Israele nella striscia inseriscono di nuovo una immagine che niente ha a che fare con quei luoghi. Probabilmente l'hanno presa a "prestito" da qui o da qui o forse da qui "Pochi si fermano a riflettere sul senso e sul peso delle fotografie nei giornali. Fotografia & Informazione lo fa con intelligenza e passione."

Daniel Boone once camped in the Appalachian mountain hamlet of Owsley County which remains mostly populated by descendants of settlers to this day. The 2010 U.S. Census listed Owsley County as having the lowest median household income in the country outside of Puerto Rico, with 41.5% of residents living below the poverty line. Familial and community bonds run deep, with a populace that shares a collective historical and cultural legacy uncommon in most parts of the country. However, the community of around 5,000 struggles with a lack of jobs due to the decline in coal, tobacco and lumber industries along with health issues including drug addiction without effective treatment.

My name is Jim. I began this site in 2001 after having trouble finding quality, public domain photos online to use in my designs. People just seemed interested in flaunting their portfolios or charging absurd amounts of money to license a photograph. I bought a camera and bothered my photographer friends until I had a grasp on taking photos.
