Probably not. But tell that to this guy.

back in the 514 — and tunisia/lebanon photos
July 26th, 2009 · No Comments

He’s so fed up, in fact, that he started taking their pictures and posting […]

There are lots of folks out there who sharpen two images on their mom’s computer and then fancy themselves PhotoShop “artistes,” but let’s face it: most of them are crap. This guy is decidedly not crap.
Check out a montage of Li Wei’s work at 56minus1.
Thanks, Nick!

greek riots: best photojournalism i’ve seen in a long time
December 16th, 2008 · 1 Comment
Yesterday’s Boston Globe featured an unbelievable collection of photos of the ongoing anarchy in Athens. Nearly any one of these shots, if you took them, would be the best photo you’d ever take.
The riots were sparked by the police shooting of Alexis Grigoropoulos, a 15-year-old boy who was allegedly with other youths who threw […]

polaroid calls it quits
December 8th, 2008 · 3 Comments
I just read the news, and I gotta say, it made me a little bit sad. Polaroid has announced that it will no longer manufacture the gee-whiz insta-photo film that made it a household name.
Though it’s leaving the photography business, Polaroid will continue to make portable DVD players that you’ve never heard of, as […]

photographers’ galleries up and running!
September 2nd, 2008 · 2 Comments
For some time now, I’ve been meaning to host several photographers’ work on flickering pictures — sort of a gallery of galleries featuring great shots from all over. My own stuff has been up for months, but I can hardly tell my apertures from my f-stops and I’m nowhere near as good as these […]
