On April 2, you can join former Combat Photographer Stacy Pearsall for an online webinar on Shooting in Extreme Conditions. It is free, but there are a limited number of seats available for this.

On Depth of Field, Separation and Bokeh

It’s a classic post topic – let’s argue about some small, mechanical aspect of photography, which will get everyone riled up and generate lots of traffic.

Intimacy Through Living

Nice piece by Alex Garcia on why he decided to move into a difficult neighborhood in order to do better journalism. By being there, in the off hours, the photos got better, deeper: Images began to take on the almost elusive element of powerful photojournalism: intimacy.

Ozzie Sweet Has Passed

Over at the New York Times, Bruce Weber has a story up on the life of Ozzie Sweet, one of the most prolific photographers of the 20th century.

Luck Is the Residue of Hard Work

The Boston Herald has a piece up looking at the work of Stanley Forman. Forman won two Pulitzer Prizes in the 1970s and in the video he talks about one of them. “You can be good,” Stanley said, “but if you’re not lucky, it ain’t gonna happen.
