The other day I came across a New York Times article about the massive luxury tower going up at Park Ave and 56th Street in Manhattan, which explained that these kinds of developments are pricing regular people out of the city. I thought about how, at “ground level,” as it were, the “regular” businesses in the area would fare after such a development went up. read moreA Photographic Ode to the Laundromat show less

With the recent controversy surrounding this year's World Press Photo award winner, the photographic community has once again been engaged in a familiar argument. Has the image been subject to too much manipulation? And just how much is too much anyway? Author and NYU professor, Fred Ritchin has been a part of this conversation for decades, founding Pixel Press along the way. read moreInterview: Fred Ritchin On Establishing Standards For Digital Manipulation In Photojournalism show less

Famous sculptures are probably best known via photography, and two years ago, the MoMA in New York dedicated an entire exhibit to photography's role in documenting and preserving performance art. read moreAsger Carlsen's Gruesome Sculptures, Made Of Flesh And Bone show less

Photo by © Neal PrestonDuring much of their heyday, Led Zeppelin skirted the star-maker media machine and conquered the planet via word-of-mouth and mystique. Stung by harsh reviews of their early records, Zep famously shunned press interviews and photo sessions, reaching many fans mainly through bold albums with cryptic cover art; their most popular LP even omitted any title, artist name, band shots or text on its gatefold sleeve. read moreSultans of Swagger: Neal Preston's Unseen Led Zeppelin Photos show less

Previously I wrote about a New York-based group that's putting on a real-life photobook event, and how this seems to fly in the face of the digitalization of photobooks. This “digitalization,” though, actually has less to do with the production of photobooks, and more with their consumption. read morePhotobooks Worth Their Weight in Gold?

Earlier this year, Paul Hansen's shot of a funeral procession in Palestine was selected as the World Press Photo winner. Almost immediately, controversy sprang up online with people claiming that the image was "faked with Photoshop." Since then, things had calmed down a bit. The prize was not revoked and the image was never proven to be subject to excessive manipulation. read moreExperts Confirm "Integrity" of 2013 World Press Photo Award Winner show less

Photo by © Mustafah AbdulazizSometimes the best photojournalism reveals a story that's hiding in plain sight. In Mustafah Abdulaziz's series "Water Is Gold," the story is something so simple, so easily taken for granted, that its power lies in the sudden, almost embarrassing moment of recognition: for millions living in Sierra Leone, access to something as seemingly simple as clean water is a life or death issue. read moreDocumenting Quiet, Deadly Hardship in Sierra Leone show less

Photo by © Mathieu AsselinI took to calling 2012 the “Year of Photobooks Online,” what with the slew of photobook-related websites that popped up. This year, though, I’m hearing about more real-life photobook meetups, whether it’s on some online feed or from people I know in Tokyo. In any case, I’m not sure yet whether to call 2013 the “Year of Real-Life Photobook Events,” but 10x10 American Photobooks is certainly giving me a push in that direction. read more100 American Photobooks, Available for Instant Browsing—Offline, That Is show less
