“This Is What I Do. This Is All That I Know.”

The New York Times’ Lens blog has an interview up with Joao Silva who lost both of his legs last year to a land mine in Afghanistan. It’s by far the most comprehensive interview with him that I have seen and he talks, at length, about what happened that day, what he has gone through in recovery, how he came...

Photo Cred

Not so much about credibility as credentials (though those things are more closely tied together than you’d expect). The National Press Photographers Association has posted on how to get media credentials. Good info there, I get lots of questions on this from students and folks just starting out.

Nothing Lasts Forever, Except for What You Make

Here’s a weird pairing of readings for your lunch hour … Scott Bourne over at Going Pro is talking about changes, things disappearing and what will last forever. Which, according to him, is not your business but what it produces. There’s some comfort in that. And once you’ve pondered that, take a run through Jonathan Blaustein’s tale of his visit...

Detaining Photographers Within Long Beach Police Department Policy

Something to be aware of if you’re in Long Beach, California: according to Police Chief Jim McDonnell, his officers are allowed to detain you if they feel you are taking pictures “with no apparent esthetic value.”

Icons for Signs

This is pretty cool … Pentagram, a design firm with offices in New York, handled all the signage for the new(ish) New York Times building – and the way they did it is pretty cool. There are over 800 unique signs in the building, all using archival images from the Times’ library. Now I really want to go see the...

A Photographic Bucket List

Scott Bourne over at PhotoFocus has an interesting post up about creating a photographic bucket list. A “bucket list” is a list if the things you want to do before you, well, kick the bucket, so to speak. I have to admit, I’ve done so many cool things over the years that coming up with some would be hard. But...
