This is a must-see clip from TED [Technology, Entertainment, Design]:
Evidence Of My Existence
Evidence of My Existence is a book and a short documentary by photojournalist Jim Lo Scalzo. It's necessary viewing and reading if you are in the business of documenting the world. Here is an excerpt. [Links via MediaStorm]
Are You CLEAR For Take Off?
Anil Dash, who apparently shares the same case of Flying While Brown as I do, has hit upon a new service called Clear Card. Check it out.
Yes, it doesn't come cheap, but if you value your time, you fly frequently and don't want the hassle at the airport, this may be the way to go.
“Clear® is the fast pass for airport security. Clear members are pre-screened and provided with a high-tech card which allows them to access designated airport security fast lanes nationwide. Clear members pass through airport security faster, with more predictability and less hassle.”
Here is Anil's post. Not all airports have this type of concierge service, but I am sure that day will come soon.
Seeing Beyond The Obvious
It was by sheer coincidence that I found the Seeing With Photography link on A Photo A Day and received an email from Partho Bhowmick, who runs the organization Blind With Camera.
Partho sent me some samples [the link to the site is apparently linked to a PowerPoint presentation that on the Safari and Firefox browsers doesn't show up. Something he may want to rectify]
Anyway, it has taken be some time to post these but I have held on to them because they are so special. Shot by the visually impaired, it calls to question our ability to see beyond the obvious when we raise the camera to our functioning eyes. For these artists and the work presented here, one gets the sense that they “felt” something deep inside of them when they tripped the shutter. May we also harken back to those days when an image was made by technique, skill and gut instinct.
Anjali’s Prints On Sale
I met Anjali Bhargava at the Eddie Adams Workshop, about 7 years ago. Our paths have crossed thanks to her being in NY and my involvement with SAJA. As a fellow desi photographer, we have been in touch through Facebook. A couple of days back I found out that she has a print sale going on until January 15, 2008.
8×12 unframed: $85
12×18 unframed: $110
8×12 framed to 11×14*: $140
12×18 framed to 12×18*: $170
“*My frame of choice is black metal and is an 1/8″ wide which sets off the images beautifully without interfering. 12×18 prints will be full frame. Framed 8×12 images will be printed on 11×14 paper. Payments can be made by check or via PayPal.”
Check out the images she has on sale here.
This one is my personal favorite, called “Blue”:
