These gentlemen together with other great street photographers based in SF recently had an exhibition, Alone Together<\/em>. There was also a zine released that coincides with the show. If you want to have a copy of the zine, info is right here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Troy Holden<\/a><\/p>\n Troy also did a photographer in residence takeover for Fotografia Magazine. Check out his interview here.<\/a><\/p>\n Ben Molina<\/a><\/p>\n Ben was recently interviewed about his work by Eric over at Leica camera blog. You can check that out here.<\/a><\/p>\n Joe Aguirre<\/a><\/p>\n Most readers of Eric\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s blog are probably familiar with Joe already but for those who aren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t, check out Eric\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s video interviews here<\/a> and here<\/a>.<\/p>\n —<\/p>\n Lars Tunbj\u00c3\u00b6rk<\/a><\/p>\n Mr. Tunbj\u00c3\u00b6rk is probably one of the best color photographers that ever held a camera. If i\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not mistaken, the color movement that was happening in America in the 70\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s he was also doing in Europe. His portfolio is an excellent treasure trove excellent photograph and visual storytelling. If you are going to check out a work of his, look at Office<\/i><\/a>. It is his take on the eerie world of the modern workspace. Showing the absurdity of tangled cables, cramped cubicles, and metallic surfaces that conveys a corporate hell.<\/p>\n —<\/p>\n I asked the streettogs academy members if they have been on the recieving end of a street photograph.

But maybe, I wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t fair to Capa. Maybe, we just need to, rediscover his words to something like this: “If our pictures aren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t good enough, we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not emotionally close enough…”<\/p>\n -\u00c2\u00a0Mads Nissen<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Fact and Ficition in Photography<\/a><\/p>\n James Estrin compiles some thoughts, comments, and reactions regarding WPP 2015 for the New York times.<\/p>\n —<\/p>\n Photobook recommendation: Via Vauxhall by Niall McDiarmid<\/a><\/p>\n I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been following Niall\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s tumblr<\/a> for sometime now and saw how the book developed. The portraits and candid moments are centered on the commuters of Vauxhall. They are calm images of people making their way. Excellent command of light, color, or collaboration with his subjects.<\/p>\n Check out this interview of Niall about the book<\/a> (Once again by Fotografia Magazine. That site is slowly becoming a favorite of mine) and a chance to win a copy of it! (Until May 10, 2015 only)<\/p>\n Photography in Period of Change by Marco Bohr via Visual Culture Blog<\/a><\/p>\n Marco discusses some of his picks in this year\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s FORMAT Photo Festival in Derby. I personally think that photography is in a constant period of change as it is inherent in the nature but not as rapid and as polarizing as we are experiencing now. Even so, as photographers, we still have to create and make sense of everything.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sally Mann articles:<\/b><\/p>\n Sally Mann\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s exposure by Sally Mann via New York Times<\/a><\/p>\n She goes all out revealing her thoughts and emotions describing what it is like to make a deeply personal project. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a long read but it is this month\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s MUST READ.<\/p>\n A lesson from Sally Mann: Just take the picture<\/a><\/p>\n Photographer Leslye Davis for the New York Times found out that sometimes, you just have to take the picture especially if Sally Mann tells you to do so.<\/p>\n —<\/p>\n The Meaning of Film\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Decline via Fototazo<\/a><\/p>\n This is one is for those who #BelieveinFilm. It offers a different take on the argument and shows that nostalgia can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t fuel film\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s resurgence.<\/p>\nIn Memoriam<\/h2>\n
