In Search of a Processing Boundary

Scott Alexander at American Photo has a post up on how far is too far when it comes to processing images, including a set of before-and-after images to study. The images, at the top of the page, are … startling. The toning on two of them is, to me, completely reasonable. The other two … well … what do you...

Steve Fox is my hero. He’s on the faculty at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and, last spring, taught an investigative reporting class that looked at heroin usage in Massachusetts. This week, the Boston Globe ran a story reported and written by two of his students that looked at one UMass student who was convinced to become a confidential...

Go Deep, Not Just Far

While looking for something else this morning I stumbled across a blog post from Ami Vitale about travel photography.
