Prime Collective via A Photo Editor →
Prime Collective is a brand new photographic cooperative that I stumbled upon recently. I like the idea of photographers banding together and Luceo Images has proven that it can work well for marketing and potentially for business as well. They’ve got a nice professional group site set up and I know photo editors will like the one stop shopping of it all. With all the social networking that needs...

Carissa Ray says: It’s amazing now that cell phones with cameras are the norm in so many areas, that moments we would have in the past had to depend on the imaginations of movie directors to witness, are now able to be captured by passers by.

Astrophotography: Searching Data For Hidden... →
You know those dramatic, colorful outer-space photos you see from NASA? Turns out they’re not photographs in the traditional sense; i.e., there’s no photographer in an observatory composing the frame with a really good lighting kit. It’s all done on the back end — on a computer — and it’s a lot of work.
Watchpitchfork:
The recently Playlisted Lindstrøm remix of Glasser’s “Mirrorage” was really begging for a tripped-out, fractal-based unofficial video, so we’re glad this thing exists.

A Photo Editor - Phil Toledano Interview →
I’m a big fan of Phil Toledano’s work. Check out this interview Jonathan Blaustein did with him over at APhotoEditor.
What drives me to be an artist, to make the work I do and I think that a large part of being an artist is being delusional. You have to be totally delusional and slightly narcissistic. You have to be delusional to think that you’re going to think up stuff and people...

WatchR.I.P pitchfork:
Broadcast’s “Papercuts” video from 2000’s The Noise Made by People.
“I think the evocation of memory in our music could be seen as the residue of imaginary time travel. You can either go forward or back. You go back in order to change something in the now, to redesign the course of events for personal reasons. When you go back to a previous musical time you’re trying to...

A great, short interview with a photographer I have only recently discovered but can’t get enouph of, Brad Trent. He also runs the blog Damn Ugly Photography. Undeniably good. That’s what I thought about Brad Trent when I first crossed paths with him. He is not only the world-renowned photographer, but also the kind of person you could swap stories with all day. I recently had the pleasure...

Here are some terrific links to the work of African photographers. In particular, the work of Zwelethu Mthethwa has absolutley blown me a away. Click here to view an interview with the photographer and some examples of his work.
I’m not sure how it started, but I realized yesterday how woefully ignorant I am about African photographers. I can name plenty of North American, European and Asian...
WatchWatch the last video I posted after watching this. Honestly, you might have to. This is an incredibly haunting look into the mind of photographer, Tim Hetherington who has seen it all, all the worst man has to offer.
‘Diary’ is a highly personal and experimental film that expresses the subjective experience of my work, and was made as an attempt to locate myself after ten years of...

… a lot of newspapers — perhaps cowed by their own clueless attorneys — similarly do not allow their videos to appear anywhere but on their own Websites, essentially guaranteeing that nobody outside their own geographic area will stumble upon it. This is despite the fact that newspapers can still emblazon videos with their own logos, and attach pre-roll or embedded advertising, so that they will...
