Mike Davis on Photos

The Image Deconstructed recently interviewed Mike Davis, a guy I feel like I know though I’m not sure I’ve ever talked with him in person.

New Word: Skeuomorphism

I love it when I learn a new word, and today it’s skeuomorphism – the act of creating a new object that looks like, but is neither made like nor functions like, the object which it appears to be. Think of hubcaps made to look like wire wheels, the leather texture around Apple’s iCal application or any image processed through...

Albert Kahn’s Archives of the Planet

Most of us probably don’t know who Albet Kahn is, but we should. An early Twentieth Century millionaire, he dispatched photographers around the world to shoot color autochromes, a record of who we were then.

This is NOT OKAY (UPDATED)

Over on the National Press Photographer Association’s discussion list, Jim Dean posted a link to a story on PoliceOne.com about Louisiana sheriff’s deputies who were using a photo of a local reporter for target practice.
