    Conscientious » Review: The Places We Live by Jonas Bendiksen

    Posted 38 minutes ago

    At the beginning of the 21st Century, photojournalism finds itself in a somewhat uncomfortable position. On the one had, it has become an established and widely accepted form of journalism. On the other hand, its main language - grainy, crooked, and/or partially blurry images, often still black and white - has lost most of its impact because of the fact that …

    Dennis Dunleavy » Fox News: The return of yellow journalism and photoshop

    Posted 27 hours ago

    In honor of Independence day, I thought I'd throw out a topic sure to cause some fire works. I'll remind folks that while passion is fine and, in careful contexts, encouraged, boorish behavior directed at specific individuals who comment here or their art is off limits and will result in your comment being ruthlessly deleted without explanation or apology.

    And with that … [Link]

    This one's out on DVD. This one you might be able to see at a local movie theater right now (probably only if you live in a big city like New York, Chicago, or LA, though), but it's worth the wait for the DVD release. And it's quite a bit smarter (and funnier) than it appears to be … [Link]

    If you’re a professional photographer there are 4 reasons to have a blog and 1 good one not to:

    1. Community Building. Talking about the industry, helping photographers just starting out, linking to sites and news about photography you think the community would be interested in. This is a great reason to have a blog and a big reason why blogs …

    The short answer is "Of course not." A somewhat longer and more detailed answer is provided by an expert from the reality-based science community, Brian Cox.

    Key statement (edited down to the relevant bits): "it's absolute utter nonsense. It's the biggest pile of [Laughs] shit that I've ever heard in my life. [...] right there are two things to say; one …

    A Photo Editor » The End Of Book Publishing

    Posted 3 days ago

    I think I’ve read enough glowing reviews of the kindle in the last month to know that combined with a flailing economy, skyrocketing fuel prices and a fundamental shift in the way we interact with text, that it signals the eventual death of book publishing.

    Anymore, it’s going to start to seem ridiculous to print all those books to throw in …

    Posted 3 days ago

    Charles Fréger works in series of portraits and is the mastermind behind a pan-European network of photographers - which provided ample reasons for me to approach him and ask for an interview. He was more than happy to share his thoughts about photography and about how to work together as a group of artists.

    Chances are you have heard of CERN's LHC experiment, or maybe not. It probably is the most ambitious science experiment ever done ("One of the LHC's detectors - Atlas - weighs as much as 100 Boeing 747s. Looking like a cross between some improbably big communications satellite and the largest electric dynamo you can imagine, Atlas is the work of 1,900 …

And, I’ve always been a fan of imperfection in photography so when I find a photographer …

    Conscientious » Consumerism, Globalization, and American Emptiness

    Posted 7 days ago

    “Two narratives bound our era and, by degrees but unmistakably, our predicament: the story of consumerism and the story of globalization. In recent years, the two have combined to produce a single and singularly corrosive narrative. Consumerism has meant the transformation of citizens into shoppers, eroding America’s sovereignty from within; globalization has meant the transformation of nation-states into secondary players on …
