  • Friday Photo Quiz

    (There are, of course, more than four writer/photographers, but I'm in a good mood because it's Friday, and all I'm looking for is four names. The first person who responds with that number will be declared today's winner.)—David Schonauer

  • Giving Film Another Chance

    Sure, you can knock the color off or set your camera to B do you really like wading through all of your digital files looking for the “good” ones? Shoot less and make them worth it.

    Shooting digital because you got sick of wasting film? Think about dusting off the 35mm gear you haven’t sold and grab some new film. If you’ve been shooting as much as I have in the last 4 years (around 250,000 frames) then your eye will have improved tremendously. You’ll waste less film and have more options.

    Friday afternoon fun: stare at this image for 30 seconds and then move your mouse over it. It turns into a black and white photo but your eyes will register it as color until you look away. Want to learn how to do it yourself? The maker of the illusion, John Adowski offers a step-by-step tutorial here. Enjoy!

  • Tip of the Day: Tie it Down

    When out photographing flora, the best shooting angles are sometimes blocked by branches or leaves. I always bring twist ties and use them to move any offending elements out of the field of view. They’re simple, effective, and cheap. —Reader Tip From Grayce Pedulla Dillon, Fort Pierce, FL

  • PHotoEspaña Festival Notes: 5/31

    My second day in Madrid began in the gargantuan Centro Cultural Conde Duque with an unveiling of the 60 finalists from the PHotoEspaña's Descubrimientos portfolio review. These finalists were chosen from more than 800 international photographers and proceed to portfolio reviews during the festival with top curators, gallery owners and other photography luminaries. The winner of the Descubrimientos prize (which will be announced later in the festival, though no one seems to know exactly when) will be awarded a solo exhibition at next year's festival.

  • PHotoEspaña Festival Notes: 5/30

    Madrid in the morning is a beautiful thing to behold. So as I set out on my first day of PHotoEspaña's tenth annual show, meandering from one photo venue to another was almost as enjoyable as the actual exhibitions—almost. The day began with an exhibition of Lynn Davis' Icebergs and Ancient Persia series at the Meseo Thyssen-Bornemisza. Davis' icebergs from Disko Bay, Greenland, first photographed in 1986, catalyzed her departure from human representation in her photography.

  • Brilliant Doorstop Dept:

    The Focal Encyclopedia of Photography has joined the 21st Century. With 846 pages and weighing nearly seven pounds, this new $100 tome is guaranteed to stop any door — and to answer any question whatsoever about the history or the craft of photography. It also brings to mind a host of clichés: etc. etc.

  • You Have the Right to Say Cheese

    When time lags between publications of Avedon retrospectives and Leibovitz collections, we like to see whether the Smoking Gun has updated its celebrity mug shots. Often it’s just to revisit Christian Slater in his finer moments or to find out how much weight Nicole Ritchie’s lost between DUI stops. But sometimes the images really are “arresting”—the grainy black-and-white prints of mobsters like Paul Castellano seem particularly revealing, and for the reckless like Robert Downey Jr., it’s just another pose.
