  • Seeing Without a Camera

    If there are photographers today who are able to, as the famous Diane Arbus quote goes, “teach people to see without a camera,” Melissa Ann Pinney might be the equivalent of our wise older neighbor who sits daily on the front porch: her photographs freeze-frame the tiny daily moments of suburban American life, revealing hidden ironies and emotions that we might otherwise overlook.Her new photographs, opening today at Alan Klotz Gallery (511 W 25th St.

  • Tip of the Day: Rule of Ninths

    The Rule of Thirds suggests overlaying a tic-tac-toe grid on our images to create nine rectangles of equal size. Composition is said to improve if we position key image elements where the lines intersect. Liberate yourself and think of it as the “Rule of Ninths” instead. Fill the squares appropriately and you’ll be amazed how much better your pictures look.—Jon Sienkiewicz

  • Annie and the Queen

    The portrait, made in honor the the Queen's visit to the U.S., will be on display at the National Archives in Washington, D.C. For fun you can then go and see the Declaration of Independence, wherein we Americans told the Queen's relative, King George III, to get lost.—David Schonauer

  • A Moment Captured

    The new release of audiotapes from the Kent State massacre yesterday — more than three decades after the event, as reported at cnn.com — may or may not shed light on what actually happened that day, as it still remains unclear who ordered National Guardsmen to shoot on student protestors. But the episode does recall the indelible photograph that catalyzed the U.S.

  • Tip of the Day: Save Your Shots

    If you accidentally hit the camera’s Delete button and flush the wrong image, don’t panic, but do stop shooting immediately. Deleted images do not disappear at once—the space they occupy on the memory card is “overwritten” by another image. If you quit shooting before that happens you can usually recover the missing file(s) using one of the many aftermarket software products like Lexar’s Image Rescue 3 ($30, direct). —Jon Sienkiewicz
