  • February Guest Blog: Chase Jarvis

    • By Popphoto Staff on February 21, 2007

    To kick off our new guest blog, we've asked Seattle-based commercial photographer Chase Jarvis to look through the March/April issue of American Photo and expound on anything that struck his fancy. Here's what he came up with, cross posted on his own blog. We're excited to be adding voices like Chase's to State of the Art, but we want to hear yours too. Leave your thoughts in the comments below.~Miki Johnson

  • Where to Go and What to See

    On second thought, these shows might have something in common. Warhol-ism, after all, was partly about the constructing and deconstructing of personalities and personas. And wasn't Warhol himself his own kind of tornado? Luckily, on further reflection, I have also realized that these openings are on entirely different nights, so you don't even have to choose. See them both, and the others too. Squeeze all the life out of it you can, before it all falls apart.

    Okay, it's the last day before the long weekend, and I'm psyched. I thought I would send everyone off with a photography quiz.

  • 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.
