Madrid, March 11, 2004.
by Julio López Saguar

I would like to symbolize yesterday’s attacks in Madrid with this image. I took this photograph yesterday at Alonso Martínez station, about an hour after the attacks. Many should not have been there. I should not have been there; I should have been in Atocha station half an hour earlier

FOTOMOVIL.
On-Line Photography.
by Julián Gallo.

On the last two weeks of January 2004, I trained journalists Alejandra Polack and Juan Martinelli of the Argentinean radio talk show “La Cornisa” (The Cornice) anchored by journalist Luis Majul, in the use of the cameras in their cellular telephones, this would allow instant publication on-line of the photographs during the program.

Remixing reality with narrative media.
by Fran Ilich.

It is no coincidence that in spite of the fact that the special effects and computer-generated images in The Matrix might appear wholly unreal to us, there are details (and not just a few) that talk of our times and reality. Not unusually, millions of people identify with the film’s metaphors.

As soon as someone dismisses any new tool for taking pictures as just a toy, someone comes along, or in this case not only someone, but many, and prove that indeed there are many reasons to consider such tools as very useful for all sorts of creative purposes.

By John Mraz

Digitalization is the prime suspect in the much-discussed death of photojournalism and crisis of documentary photography (though "the end of photography as evidence of anything" is surely one among many instances of the postmodern retreat from the referent).

Exposure to light

Kiss The Past Good Bye
An Epitaph for Creative Camera
By Peter Turner

I am writing with a sense of regret. No: tears are more to the point. The magazine I edited for many years is no more. Creative Camera, lately retitled 'Dpict' is no longer part of the photo firmament, and I weep at its passing.
