My office is in the front room of a run-down 12 megapixel sensor but the rent suits me and the landlord doesn't ask many questions.

Ugh, everything I've seen from Syria is sickening. It's pure madness over there. I could never cover conflict as a photojournalist.

Recently Magnum held an exhibition at a local museum and one of the photographers exhibited was Mark Power, and the photos were from his latest project: The Sound of Two Songs.

If you're into the wartime/conflict area photojournalism, HBO has a fairly interesting new miniseries called Witness. It's some really powerful and insightful stuff.

I'm not sure how I've only just discovered him, but his work is now amongst my favourite photographs I've ever seen. I need to track down some of his books.

Good in those judges, we hear too many horror stories these days about cops and courts being hard on photographers. And yeah, diCorcia has major balls.

I'm kinda surprised that something so 'arty' would run in a skin magazine - it doesn't look very condusive to cranking one out :o:

(The non-arty colour shots are pretty drat trashy, though
) :eek:

Playboy has always maintained that they are something more than pornography, hence all of the fiction they publish. This is all trash, and there's nothing 'arty' about it except in the most hand-wavey pejorative way.

If we can talk about banal pictures of bushes or riverbanks as art we should acknowledge that naked women at least are in the conversation of awesome photos if not art.

I thought art was whatever the artist called art. Or is that only until someone else says it's no longer art. I don't know.

No.

I think you're getting confused. Just because you don't like the subject matter it doesn't make the photography inherently bad.

If you hang around in the standard wildlife photography places (i.e. fredmiranda) you'll notice cheesy borders and watermarks are the standard, despite the crazy level of skill those people have in getting amazing shots. I don't even notice them anymore.
