Managing photographs has never been easy. I have them in plastic boxes, card board boxes, archival boxes, albums, hard drives, canvas bags. They are every where and it drives me crazy.

Be sure to check out the issue, pass the link along to friends, and get in touch with the photographers and myself to tell us what you think!”

Blueeyes Magazine has some amazing photography. Look and learn!

Dilip Vishwanat is a terrific sports photographer based in St. Louis. His Flash-based galleries on his web site make me drool.

The subject of photography is a form of access to contemporary ways of feeling and thinking.” Her later treatise on photography, Regarding the Pain of Others (2003), examined how pictures of warfare were both informed by, and influenced, contemporary political and artistic concerns of those who produce the photographs, and those who in turn view them.”

Susan Sontag, the writer who nudged me to think about photography as a cultural pursuit rather than just a object of desire has died. She was 71. Read all related news stories about Ms. Sontag here.
