Any ideas how we go forward from here?

and the death of photojournalism

Both Jed and Mike have tried to sell their images to newspapers/magazines and have been told that sadly there is…

I'm imagining Recordari sidling up to me furtively, possibly wearing a grubby, stained macintosh, and whispering hoarsely in my ear: 'wanna see some photos?'

That is a totally salacious fabrication.

It would be a fishtail parka.

I like that one. A lot.

see, now there's a conversation starter...

heading back to Southerly now...;- )

Not entirely sure how that would work in a social situation, though.

I hear the cellphone coverage in remote fishing areas is very good, even in New Zealand...

Only if you have a scots accent and can't tell a joke isn't it?

Stevens... was on a junket to a fishing lodge courtesy of a telecoms company when the
aircraft came down in bad weather in a
remote part of the state.

That's quite tragic, which ever way you look at it. You would think that surviving one crash would give you some sort of credit in the probability stakes, if not statistically, then at least prodigiously*.

Probability is a bitch.

Stevens, who survived a similar crash in Alaska in 1978 that killed his wife, was on a junket to a fishing lodge...

I see Sen. Ted Stevens died in a place crash, and is now on the bridge to nowhere...

NO!

The tubes are still too slow and narrow

Speaking of tubes, I see Sen. Ted Stevens died in a place crash, and is now on the bridge to nowhere...

My two cents on the old Muslim

My test results will (ahem) attest to my mssing the Muslim label. I was looking at him as an old bloke who had seen it all. Obviously when you bring in effing religion and idolatry it puts a new light on his repsonse.…

Gio writes on this subject often. Check him out if you don't already.

My two cents on the old Muslim is that he'd probably be as bitter on a portrait as a snapshot. My guess is he'd…

I remember that in the course of a field survey in Usbekistan where we wanted to shoot a film – but finally did not do it – he gave to three elderly Muslims the pictures he had taken of them. The eldest one as soon…

Dead as a viable profession but as a practice, never been better?

Wow, thanks for that AAMC.

Wow indeed.
By way of a little history, I like this one.

This New York Times blog delivers an interesting daily visual diary of international events.

Gee, that is good. The Ahmadinejad picture is a telling image. Anxious men.

I'd say Pt Chev Beach. That's the Waitakeres in the background and there's a boat club at Pt Chev. Also, lots of shells.

Yes. Definitely Pt Chev beach. The fashion looks 1940s.

A Twitter contact pointed me at this stunning collection of colour photos from American daily life in the 1940s.

I love these collections that some media organisations such as Denver Post and Boston Globe are putting out there.

That was incredible. Photos from the 40s in colour always give me…

Takapuna Beach?

Mission Bay?

The Ghosts of World War II's Past (20 photos)

I like that one. A lot.

Takapuna Beach?

Mission Bay?

I've found it interesting that despite the abundance of digital cameras and digital photo-sharing resources, and unlike candid home-videos of certain events (e.g. 9/11) very few amateur photos…

Here are Tarkovsky's Polaroids.

Yes, I saw those a while ago. Wonderful. And, as always: dogs and water.

Those photos are amazing Gio. Some people are adverse to Tonemapping and HDR type rendering, or excessive Photoshopping, but I think…

Here's the current offering on the choking of Moscow, Stalker.

I've managed to see a couple of the previous ones in other cities while travelling and can recommend them to anyone who likes amazing photography combined with poignant reminders of the…
