  • Tennis Now and Then

    It has become self-evident how much photography has changed in the face of the digital revolution. And this shift is probably nowhere more apparent than on the wire service battle ground. I met with a few of the Getty Images veterans at the U.S. Open on Friday (in between women's semifinals) to talk about how the industry has changed and the end of the Agassi era.

  • The New Connection

    Jeffrey Aaronson's new show at the Kashya Hildebrand Gallery uses such online personal ads as a starting point for a series of multimedia portraits—and Aaronson gladly does not fail to recognize their innate human appeal.

    Have you ever found yourself tooling around the Craigslist personal ads just for fun?

  • Maine Photographic Workshops For Sale

    writes Holly Anderson at www.villagesoup.com.

    "David Lyman, founder and owner of Maine Photographic Workshops and Rockport College, suspended at least some of the school's 2006-2007 academic year Aug. 22 and announced his intention to sell the institution's assets," writes Holly Anderson at www.villagesoup.com.

  • Baby Suri Photos Under Guard

    We’ve been hearing all the rumors about Vanity Fair’s top-secret photos of Baby Suri, the never-as-yet publicly seen child of Tom Cruise and Katie (Kate) Holmes. According to one story, the pictures are so top secret that even Conde Nast owner Si Newhouse was not allowed to see them. The latest rumor, reported on jossip.com is that editor in chief Graydon Carter has stationed armed guards outside the plant where the magazine is printed.

  • Katie Couric Photo Doctored!

    I hate fakery in photojournalism as much as anyone, but I think the legions of bloggers now on the lookout for examples of doctored pictures may be going too far. The latest scandal erupted when Brian Stelter of TVNewser discovered that CBS had shaved a few pounds off of anchor-to-be Katie Couric in a recently released PR photo.

  • Casey Jones You Better Watch Your Flash

    It remains to be seen if, as in New York, this loosely defined ban will continue to spell confusion and frustration for the city's photographers.

    Chicago recently joined the ranks of cities attempting to restrict photography of its trains. Union Pacific Railroad recently banned photography of its trains from Metra station platforms, citing security concerns since "recent incidents around the world."

  • The Brooklyn Museum on 9-11

    Through photos, drawings, and books, the show describes lower Manhattan as an area in flux, placing 9-11 in a context of controversy and devastation familiar to the area.

  • Walker Evans Goes Digital

    More than 30 years after his death, revered photojournalist Walker Evans has moved into the digital realm. In a deceptively benign exhibition of his work at the UBS Gallery (circumnavigating the lobby of the UBS building at 1285 Ave. of the Americas), gelatin silver prints of Evans's 1935 and '36 photos live alongside what could be considered controversial contemporary prints from the same negatives--reproduced digitally.

  • Galen Rowell Gets the Tribute He Deserves

    After Galen Rowell died in an airplane crash in 2002, I made a mistake I’ve been regretting ever since. We were close to finishing an issue of American Photo when we got the news that Galen, one of the greatest landscape, nature, and adventure photographers of our time, had been killed in a small plane near his home in Bishop, California. I decided we had to run a tribute in the issue we were closing, but we only had one page in which to do it. We got our little story in, but I knew immediately it wasn’t enough. I should have killed another story and given more to Galen.

  • Who Are the Innovators?

    We all know photography is changing...but who's doing the changing? Who are the innovators now in the stock business, in fine art, in advertising, in fashion, in photojournalism? We've been thinking a lot about that question for the past few months. We're working on a new feature for American Photo, a little bit like our list.) We're taking suggestions now...any ideas?—David Schonauer

We've been thinking a lot about that question for the past few months. We're working on a new feature for American Photo, a little bit like our "100 Most Important People in Photography," but instead of naming today's movers and shakers, we want to find tomorrow's. (Think of Vanity Fair's "New Establishment" list.) We're taking suggestions now...any ideas?—David Schonauer
