Links: World Press Photo, PDN Photo Annual, Raw Take
May 20, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Since I’ve got nothing right now (write now), here are a few of the best things from elsewhere.
1. World Press Photo Interviews. A new set of video interviews where the winners of the top international photojournalism competition talk about capturing their award-winning photographs.
2. PDN Photo Annual 2008 Gallery. Some of the best photography from the past year, collected into galleries. Advertising, Editorial, Books, Photojournalism/Sports/Documentary, Corporate, Personal Work, Stock, Web, Student Work. Always a great resource, and you can pick up a printed copy for around $12 at any bookstore. Get it quick.
3. Raw Take Interview with James Whitlow Delano. I’m always down for any photographer who goes out and does thing their own way, without regard to conventional wisdom. Delano’s style literally makes his black and white photographs glow. Along with the photographs is a thought-provoking interview, as Raw Take always seems to deliver.

redlights and redeyes: portland or bust: “Portland has always been one of those cities which I knew I’d love the second I set foot in. I got an invite from Sol Neelman to join him for a little shindig with some of The Oregonian crew and a few who made the trip from the newspaper-lands. While I didn’t get to wander as much as I wanted to for photos, this trip was more about seeing old friends and meeting some new ones. One of those friends, the infamous Scott Strazzante, got hitched while I was there. It was a disgustingly cute ceremony in a small courthouse in Hillsboro, Oregon, witnessed by only a few photographers who only saw the ceremony through a darkened rectangle in the viewfinder with vows recited through a chorus of shutters.”

Navel gazing - Reuters Photographers: “At various times some of our photographers and picture editors have talked about how the eyes, hands and even feet can be used as the subject of pictures. Now, ladies and gentlemen, I give you the ‘middle way’ - the human belly as a means of self expression.”

China: “citizen journalist” beaten to death - Boing Boing: “Wei Wenhua was beaten to death after he snapped photos of a confrontation on the street between village residents and authorities. His death has sparked controversy in Chinese media, and the blogosphere:
Wei Wenhua was a model communist and is now a bloggers’ hero — a ‘citizen journalist’ turned martyr. The construction company manager was driving his car when he witnessed an ugly scene: a team of about 50 city inspectors beating villagers who tried to block trucks from unloading trash near their homes.
Wei took out his cell phone and began taking pictures. The city inspectors saw Wei and then attacked him in a beating that lasted five minutes. By the time it was over, the 41-year-old Wei was slumped unconscious. He was rushed to the hospital but was dead on arrival.”
