This photo makes me laugh so much. It ran on the front page of the NY Times, and shows Specialist Zachary Boyd of Fort Worth, TX fighting in Afghanistan in his pink boxers. He had been sleeping when the compound he was in was attacked, and he ran out to help fight in [...]

New York Times: 2008 – The Year in Pictures

I love looking at NY Times photos. They have a certain sophistication, a sense of subtlety that is matched by few other publications. It’s a testament, not only to their photographers but also to their photo editors. That is the kind of photography I would like to see myself doing in the [...]

Some great stuff. It’s not too original of an idea, but the execution is what sets it apart from everything else.

Whether you have succumbed to Obamania yet or not, these pictures are quite good. This photographer has been with Obama since before Iowa, and does a fantastic job of capturing those little moments that can be so easily passed over in the hub-bub of it all.

Photographers like to say that when they place the camera to their eye, it acts as both a physical and mental barrier to what’s going on around them — that somehow the camera can be a shield between you and the awful scenes taking place in front of you. The fatal flaw in that thinking [...]

I love his lighting and his attention to detail. His portraits are super duper sweet too. I wish I could shoot portraits….

NINE years ago, Ahmad Batebi appeared on the cover of The Economist. He was a 21-year-old student, one of thousands who protested against Iran’s government that summer. He was photographed holding aloft a T-shirt bespattered with the blood of a fellow protester. Soon afterwards, he was arrested and shown our issue of July 17th 1999. [...]

When Gary Crutchley started taking pictures of his children playing on an inflatable slide he thought they would be happy reminders of a family day out.
But the innocent snaps of seven-year-old Cory, and Miles, five, led to him being called a ‘pervert’.
The woman running the slide at Wolverhampton Show asked him what he was doing [...]
