Will Steacy spent 5 years photographing the Philadelphia Inquirer newsroom at a time of increasing decline in the newspaper industry. His unrestricted access has accounted for an important historical document that he is trying to turn into a photo book, DEADLINE.
I wanted to talk about 4 fundraising projects that I think are worth your attention and hopefully your support. They are very different from each other, but they are strong projects by people who are professionals with the background of work to match. Some are close to their goal, some are far but if you can spread the word and help they have a chance of success. Lorraine Hansberry is best known for writing A Raisin In The Sun, but…
The 9/11 Museum is not for me. It’s not for anyone who was in New York on that day or the days after. It’s for tourists looking for a visceral connection to an event they saw from a distance. For me there will never be a distance. And before I came to the museum I was wondering if that would be true. Years after I thought I had my catharsis (read about it here) and thought I had move on,…

This is the only place of its ind in New York, started by photographer Michael Kamber, and has hosted some…
I’ve promoted several crowd funding projects here and through other social media because I believe we should support each other when the idea is strong. I always put my money where my mouth is, so here are a couple I think are important, albeit very different.

Yesterday I went to Anastasia Gallery in New York to see the wonderful Ron Haviv show before it closed. Ron has been witness to so much history, and I have known and admired him and his work for years.
After taking in his work I looked through the large portfolios in the middle of the room, all photographers I like and respect: Ed Kashi, Marcus Bleasdale, Bruce Haley, Michael “Nick” Nichols, and others. And that’s when I realized that all the portfolios were of male photographer works. Duh!
It’s the end of the year and rather than ANOTHER “Best Of” list, I thought I would just list all good about photography in 2013 , and maybe also just some things I liked (in no particular order). Here we go:
All my clients and true friends, you’ve taught me and sustained me through another year.

As the year ends I thought I’d buck the trend and first post the things that were bad for photography in 2013. The “best” list will be out on Dec. 31.
