  • FOR SALE

    So I'm selling it, or trying to. Nobody wants it. I offered to drive it up to Classic Enlargers in Stamford, Connecticut, and they declined, citing lack of demand. I listed it on eBay, and when it didn't sell, listed it again. I offered the enlarger to a nearby high school, which said no because it was retiring its wet darkroom and going digital. So my Omega D2V still sits behind the sofa in my living room, waiting for a new home.

    My Omega D2V enlarger is a beautiful machine. Circa 1976, with an extra-long rail that lets you make bigger prints, it is immaculate because I kept it covered with a garbage bag whenever I wasn't printing. It's going on ten years since I last used it.

  • The Latest Art from Mars

    Here’s another astonishing photo made by a satellite in outer space. This shot of the deep Candor Chasma valley on Mars was taken by a camera aboard Nasa’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Scientists say the photo is important because it shows areas or rock where water could have flowed. They can say what they want, but I think what really intrigues them about the image is just how beautiful it is. And that raises some interest questions about the nature of photography.

  • Triumph of Love or Face of War?

    What strikes me is the various ways one can read the photo. Is it an anti-war statement? A testament to true love? Both simultaneously? Nearly everyone is in agreement on one thing: this young couple is going to have a tough road ahead of them.

  • Photojournalism in the Spotlight at the National Magazine Awards

    I haven’t had a chance to post anything for the past two days because I’ve been sequestered. No, I’m not on the jury of the Scooter Libby trial. I’ve been locked up judging the first round of the National Magazine Awards. I can’t reveal any information about the judging results, obviously. But I can tell you that some rule changes this year are putting magazine photography in the spotlight in a big way.

    Here's another measure of how mainstream digital cameras have become: General Electric is getting into the business.

  • Still in Awe, After All These Years

    By far one of the most wondrous and enjoyable things about the ICP's Martin Munkacsi show Think While You Shoot! is how clearly it represents the locus of not only contemporary fashion photography, but of sport and news photography as well.

    "Wow."€ I just kept saying it. Out loud. I couldn't help it.

    Magnum Photos is the newest photo agency to join the blog party.

  • Mario Testino on Skinny Models

    As Fashion Week in New York comes to a close, superstar fashion photographer Mario Testino weighs in on the controversy on superskinnyWe are in a business to sell clothes. Clothes look better on a thinner person, but I don't think that clothes look good on a skeleton, myself.' Despite the equivocation in the last sentence, you get a pretty good idea from the statement about where most photographers come down on the issue.
