  • Embracing Mexico

    The acclaimed but underrated photographer Mariana Yampolsky made a career out of obliterating the distinction between high art and low art. She also championed the common people, particularly those who lived in the land she adopted as her artistic backdrop: indigenous rural Mexico. And like many other U.S.

  • Letter of the Week: Digital IR

    I've been wanting a digital camera for IR I know that some digital point-and-shoot cameras are IR or near IR sensitive if you hold a filter in front of the lens but I would prefer a more advanced point-and-shoot with manual controls and a screw thread such as the Canon S3IS and some of the Fuji and Olympus models but I don't know if any of these are actually IR sensitive with an IR filter. Can you please tell me if the Canon S3IS or any of the other advanced p/s digital cameras are IR sensitive?

  • Tip of the Day: Pot of Gold

    One great shot of a rainbow erases the frustration of many hours of rain. Here’s how to get the most of your golden opportunity: A polarizer filter can enhance a rainbow’s intensity. Give the filter a turn until the colors are most vivid. Rainbows are always directly opposite the sun, so turn your back to the sun and face the darkest section of the sky. Adapted from The Joy of Digital Photography by Jeff Wignall (Lark Books, 2006; $20)

  • Every Blink You Make, They’ll Be Watching You

    Big Brother is not only watching you, now he’s counting how many times you are watching him. A creepy new camera/sensor called the EyeBox2 ($1,000, direct) from a Canadian-based company named Xuuk, promises to capture and record how many eyes look near where it is mounted from as far as 33 feet away, enabling advertisers to glean how appealing their billboards, posters or even in-store products are—at a much lower cost than was possible with earlier technologies. The palm-sized EyeBox uses a beam of infrared light to detect when someone’s eyes are pointed in its direction.

  • Shooting Blind

    Israeli photographers Kfir Sivan and Iris Darel-Shinar do something that sounds a little crazy: They teach photography to the blind. A three-week exhibition of their students' work earlier this year drew 400 visitors and received high praise from local media. But are the photos any good? To be sure, some shots have problems with lighting, focus, and composition, but others shots are surprisingly impressive. Considering that the photographers had never used a camera before the workshops, and all of them are blind, the project can't be called anything less than a success.
