“The TED conference, the California lecture series named for its roots in technology, entertainment and design, said on Tuesday that it planned to give its annual $100,000 prize for 2011 — awarded in the past to figures like Bill Clinton, Bono and the biologist E. O. Wilson — to the Parisian street artist known as J R, a shadowy figure who has made a name for himself by plastering colossal photographs in downtrodden neighborhoods around the world. The images usually extol local residents, to whom he has become a Robin Hood-like hero.”

A 2008 addition to the list of movies about photography, “Everlasting Moments“, is the story of a woman who wins a camera in a lottery. It’s also the latest film to receive remastering from the Criterion Collection, and it’s available June 29th. Check out Ebert’s review.

Photojournalist Tim Hetherington’s film about the Korangal, “Restrepo” (a collaboration with journalist Sebastian Junger) opens this week on June 25th. [trailer] It’s unclear if it’s opening here in Atlanta, but we’ll let you know if/when it does!

Check out this recent interview with Hetherington.

“If you are interested in mass communication, then you have to stop thinking of yourself as a photographer. We live in a post-photographic world. If you are interested in photography, then you are interested in something — in terms of mass communication — that is past. I am interested in reaching as many people as possible.”

“We are all interested in the outside world. The heart of every deed is a selfish one. If you have to go out in the world and be effective, you have to make sure you are alive, healthy and strong. Agencies have to make sure that they are financially viable in order to go out and make commentary on the world that is useful to other people. My point about not being a photographer is that we can’t protect photography – forget photography – when we are interested in the authentic representation of things outside of ourselves.”

The May 28th edition of On the Media re-aired “Snap Judgements“, which investigates the ethics of photographic portraiture. The story includes a great interview with Platon, who’ll be an ACP Lecture Series presenter later this year.

“To be quite honest, I’m often surprised that I’m allowed to carry on doing what I do every day. But I haven’t been stopped yet, and I’m still waiting to be sent out of the country for bad photographic behavior.”

Here’s a fascinating piece in the Atlantic about the rise of the paparazzi as a profitable business. It makes a great companion piece to Smash His Camera, a new documentary about the life and times of Ron Galella, famous for this image of Jackie Onassis. The doc is currently airing on HBO.

Photographs from former Tennessee senator Howard Baker are currently on exhibition at the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library through the end of the month.

A great story from the Telegraph on UK photographer Stephen Gill, who was a participating photographer in ACP’s public art project in 2007, Paper Placemats (ATL).

“His only source of income comes from the occasional editorial commission, print sales and the books he publishes through his own imprint, Nobody, which he started in 2005. His website has become the key to his self-sufficiency. After the Haiti earthquake in January, he produced 100 prints from his Hackney Flowers series (a continuation of the Hackney Wick pictures) to raise money for the victims; within 15 hours of appearing on the website they had sold out. ‘I could have sold 400 easily,’ he says. ‘A great reminder of the power of photography.’”

The World Cup’s in full-swing, which has sent a lot of photographers back to their archives to see what kinds of crowd-reaction shots they were photographing four years ago. Dean Dorat came up with this set, while PDN reports that Antonio Simoes had 35k dollars worth of gear stolen in South Africa last week.

The New York Times looks to “style bloggers” for their their camera recommendations. Interesting, because they all prefer small point-and-shoots. (Doesn’t everyone?)

If you used the late-great (pre-Bridge, pre-Lightroom, pre-Aperture) photo-organizer iView Media Pro, you’ll know that they were eventually bought by Microsoft, and the product withered away or morphed into something new (depending on who you talk to). Here’s recent news about Phase-One, who’ve picked-up the pieces.

No Caption Needed takes a look at natural disasters in Taiwan and Guatemala, both of which resulted in images that could lead to a whole new classification of photographs: straight, unaltered pictures that looked like they were Photoshopped.

And here’s Larry Fink, on film vs. digital.

Holly Johnson has a photo story on the fate of horses at horse auctions, called “Awaiting Fate“. The photographs were made surreptitiously. A quick quote:

“Shortly after we got the horse back, I decided to go to the auction house he was sold at and record it with my camera. I hid my camera in my purse because they do not allow cameras due to the unhappy PETA members that often protest there. What I captured was several animals were dubbed useless because they are too old, too slow on the track, too expensive to keep, or injured.”

Definitely visit NPR’s PictureShow blog, which has a few recent posts on the history of yearbooks, and a look at Dennis Hopper as a photographer.

The Boston Globe’s “Big Picture” looks at wildlife affected by the oil spill.

This quote, from a feature on Allen Ginsberg’s photography.

“Photography is an art for lazy people.” So said Robert Frank, the celebrated Swiss photographer, to Allen Ginsberg, the celebrated New Jersey poet, as they gathered in a Lower East Side flat to make a movie.”

This is what it looks like when you take portraits of people who are upside down.

And Mark Seinmetz, who resides in Athens, has a show currently up at Charles A. Hartman Fine Art in Portland, Oregon. More here:

“Taken from a recently published book (by local Nazraeli Press) of the same title, “Greater Atlanta” is the third in a series of works exploring the American South, particularly parts of Georgia, where Steinmetz lives. Considered together, the books amount to a historical document of life in that region, gently celebrating the beater cars, fog-dappled gas stations and tousled-haired teenagers that inhabit a slouching but somehow beautifully barren landscape. “

Just what everyone needs, a ceramic SX-70!

This week (and last), an episode of a TV show called “House” aired which was shot with a Canon Digital SLR. Format International Photography Festival in the UK has launched a contest called Exposure.

From a great interview w/ Martin Parr, from 2007:

“Photography’s central role is to be the absolute medium of the day. It is fantastic that there is no longer any technical intimidation. When I first started learning how to take photographs, you had to spend the first six months figuring out what an f-stop was. Now you just go and take pictures. Nobody thinks about technical issues anymore because cameras or camera phones take care of that automatically. On the other hand, you still have the option of controlling every technical aspect. It’s the most accessible, democratic medium available in the world. This has to be celebrated, and we must continually remind photographers of this.”

And Mary Ellen Mark talks about the summer of 1987 on americansuburbx.

“Let me tell you about my summer. In May, I worked on A Day in the Life of America. Then I went to Miami, and I shot an album cover for Don Johnston. After that, I spent three weeks in Hong Kong and a few days in Korea for the London Sunday Times Magazine. From there, I went to Carmel to teach a Friends of Photography workshop. I came back to New York, and the London Sunday Times called again. I flew to Hawaii for them to photograph Marcos. I came back to New York, and then I went to Aspen to teach another workshop. From there, I flew to Idaho to photograph a meeting for the Aryan Nations – an extreme right-wing group. After that, I taught in Maine for a week. I came back to New York and decided I was going to relax. But Life called, wanting me to go immediately to Pakistan, so I did. After that, I went to Toronto to work on a film.”

Peter Magubane, who exhibited at Spruill Gallery during ACP 10, has been awarded an Infinity Award from ICP. Here’s a look back at his show here in Atlanta.

Remember the stitched-together photograph of the inauguration that was made with a robot controlled G10? Gigipan posted what’s they’re calling the largest photograph ever made – at 45 gigapixels, a photo of the Dubai skyline. The story’s on PDN. Here’s a detail we zoomed into:

Following-up on links from two weeks ago, Paco Blancas keeps coming back to the Marina Abramovic performance at MOMA in NYC (fourteen times!), and he keeps getting his picture taken by Marco Anneli.

Why make photographs of your own when the roving Google Street View Van can do it for you? There’s a blog (of course!) of unique street views from Google Maps, called Apres Garde, and here’s an interview with its creator. The photo below wasn’t taken by Stephen Shore, it was taken by a robot.

A delicious idea for a photography show in DC at the American University Museum at the Katzen Arts Center, One Hour Photo, in which photographs will be projected for one hour and one hour only, never to be seen again. Bravo!

Similarly, Jason Lazarus is looking for photographs that are “too hard to keep“. He’ll keep them for you, apparently.

A great German street find from Richard Renaldi:

What are folks doing with their HD-capable DSLRs these days? They’re strapping them to remote control helicopters and flying them around Whitefish, of course!

In a post from last year that I just got around to seeing, Blake Andrews has converted famous photographs (including Harry Callahan’s “Eleanor”) into music, in Take that, Steve Reich.

Here’s SFMOMA’s report from last week’s symposium on if photography is over, or not.

Dominique Tarle, the photographer who was on hand for the making of the Rolling Stones’ Exile on Main St talks about the sensationalism of rock-n-roll excess, vis-a-vis a new documentary to air on the BBC.

There’s a provocative piece with lots of reference links about photojournalism and ethics as seen through the Pulitzer-funded series of photographs from Uganda by Marco Vernaschi. The title of the piece plainly states the case: “Why digging up dead bodies and photographing them is a bad idea“.

That’s all for now, we’ll have more next week!
