  • Iraq on Tuesday, Israel on Wednesday

    After you New Yorkers vote on Tuesday be sure to check out the effects of the foreign policy this country voted into office in 2000 and 2004 at the Pomegranite Gallery, which is currently showing images of Iraq and the people unlucky enough to be living there over the past three years.Farah Nosh, who took this image, gets top billing because she first tipped us off to the show, but it also features fine work by two other not-so-shabby photojournalists: Tyler Hicks of The New York Times and Time magazine's Yuri Kozyrev.

  • MSNBC Wins Online Auction for Ed Kashi Iraq Story

    After a unique, four-day online auction, MSNBC has won the exclusive Internet rights for a feature on Iraqi Kurdistan by photographer Ed Kashi. The feature, prepared by multimedia producer Brian Storm, will premier on MSNBC.com on November 13.

    I had a chance to preview the Kashi piece while the auction was taking place, and I can tell you it is unlike anything I’ve seen before, at least in terms of its narrative structure. The auction itself is also something of a new development in the online world.

  • Where to Go and What to See

    We know you're all a little tired of hearing about the New York gallery scene, so this week's list is rich with listings from all the other art meccas that so often are unfairly overshadowed by the Big Apple.

    This also seems to be the week of the concept exhibition. From
    predicting photography's movers and shakers for the next three decades
    to taking multi-faceted looks at war or the impact of a century of
    photography books, these shows remind us there are always infinite
    perspectives from which to view any topic—especially photography itself.

  • Stills Vs. Video, the True Debate

    Halstead didn't flinch at the question, but said a better formulation of the dilemma facing photojournalists today would not be film vs. digital but still vs. video.

    It's hard to believe we're still asking the completely tired film or digital question, but there it was rearing its ugly head at Dirck Halstead's

  • A Boy Scout Badge for Learning About Copyright

    Are you as worried as we are about the future of copyright protection? There is a whole digital generation that has grown up thinking that all information, including photography, is free for the taking, especially on on the Internet. (Bloggers: We mean you.) If you aren't worried about this, you should be. If you are worried, take heart. The Boy Scouts of Los Angeles are doing a good deed by offering a new activity badge that articulates the evils of content piracy.

  • Lucie Grows Up

    It was just two years ago that I made my first acquaintance with Lucie,
    the fledgling awards show founded with the grand ambition to become the
    Oscars of the photo industry. Then only in its second year and first
    time in New York City, the whole concept seemed half-baked and the
    production lacking in professionalism, and I let em have it with a
    pretty scathing review.

    Now, two years later, either I'm getting soft in my old age or the
    Lucies have grown up.

  • Republicans Doctor Picture of Al Franken

    Here's a political update for the day: You know the election is getting close when the Republicans start doctoring pictures of liberal radio personality Al Franken. But honestly, this pales in comparison to the race-baiting television spot being run by the Republican senatorial candidate in Tennessee. Don't you love November? —David Schonauer

    It's too bad the Edwynn Houk and Morgan Lehman galleries are so far apart—their main exhibits nicely complement each other. Both Polidori and Allee use repeating patterns and long depth of field to capture the strange beauty of urban landscapes. Polidori's Chernobyl work, from 2001, comprises mostly indoor shots of the doomed reactor as well as the buildings near it that had to be abandoned after the 1986 explosion and radioactive contamination. Allee's images are mostly outdoor ones, often where natural and man-made elements mingle in an ethereal mix of twilight and artificial light.
