Photography
From Now On
by Pedro Meyer
"The
great writer Jorge Luis Borges was once asked what
he thought about a certain translation of one of his
works, “The original does not do justice
to the translation” was his response. Today,
Photography, is confronted by Digital Imagery in much
the same way".

Hand
colored journalism
I
thought you would find it very interesting to see the
way journalism was described by the head of photography
at the LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art). Observe
please, the notion of hand tinted daguerrotype
as being journalism. |

Dog
Days
by
Leonardo Barreto
Digital
cameras are like dogs in the sense that they live seven
years in one year. A good example is the Canon
PowerShot G1. This puppy was born on September
18, 2000 with 3.1million pixels. In dog years, it would
be 28 years old. |

The
Fake Troops in Bush campaign ad.
Appropriately
titled "Whatever It Takes", the new BC04
ad uses Bush's convention acceptance speech, stirring
music, and images of dedicated troops and families
in the heartland. As astutely noted by mikellanes. |

Visual
Cartography
by
Oscar Guzmán
"For
over 35,000 years humans beings have been representing
what we see and imagine, what terrifies us and what
we desire.
The
universality of this representational form and its
extraordinary perseverance through time confirms that,
in the grand spectrum of human history, visual cartography
based on orthogonal profiles and mysterious marks characterizes
us as a Graphic Species." |

Phonecam
photos aspire to art
by
Mark Ward
You
may be proud of the photos that you have
snapped with your funky camera phone, but
it is a fair bet that Henry Reichhold has
you beat.
The
London-based photo-digital artist is using
Nokia 7600 and 7610 camera phones to create
huge panoramic images of events and places.
Using
the phones to snap a series of images and
then stitching them together with software,
he's produced stunning landscapes of London
seen during both day and night. |

From
Robert Capa’s 'Dying Republican Soldier'
to Political Scandal in Contemporary Mexico: Reflections
on Digitalization and Credibility.
by
John Mraz.
Do
we believe what we see or do we see what we believe?
What are we shown and how are we shown it? How have
we learned to trust documentary photography and whose
interests have been served by that credibility? What
truth value do we attach to seeing and what has seeing
to do with thinking? These are some of the questions
that guide this discussion of the most controversial
photograph in history -- Robert Capa’s ‘Death
of a Republican Soldier’ -- and reflections on
political scandals almost seventy years later, created
by the recent broadcasting, and rebroadcasting, of
videotapes showing members of the Mexican leftist party,
Partido de la Revolución Democrático
(PRD), accepting what are apparently illicit monies.

Moblogs:
The Map of Time
by
Julián Gallo.
In
experimenting with the constant publishing of family
pictures in a moblog –something only possible
through cell-phones with a camera- I discovered that
this apparently innocuous organization feature – a
picture follows another, and the latest is the first
that is seen published- was giving away a secret to
me.

Just
whose photo is it, anyway?
by
Diane Smyth.
As
the facts stand, the BBC does not look good. Whatever
the eventual outcome of its spat with Reginald Davis,
this much is clear: the organisation scanned a copy
of a photographer's image and used it, without his
knowledge, to illustrate a programme antithetical to
his work.
