Julius Shulman was a great architectural photographer-one of the greatest-but not many people know about his work, or indeed know anything about architectural photography as a whole. Director Eric Bricker is out to change that with his new documentary film, The Art of Visual Acoustics. SOURCE: Rebecca Pahle. http://bit.ly/O9DVO

Double Exposure will follow photographers Markus Klinko and Indrani as well as high-end stylist GK Reid to show viewers what it's like in the fast-paced world of high fashion and celeb photography.

HE CAPTURED A RARE MOMENT. Sunnyvale photographer shoots a rare moment at Yosemite. Amateur photographer John Harrison's "Nature's Firefall," which won the Aperture Nature Photography Workshop contest in December, is an extreme rarity.
That particular effect can happen only for a few weeks during the winter when the sun is at the right angle, when there are no clouds and during the few months when there's enough snowmelt to produce the falls. http://www.mercurynews.com/breakingnews/ci_11408416?nclick_check=1

JUST FOLLOWING INTUITION. No one has had a greater influence on photography in the last half-century than the Swiss-born Robert Frank, though his reputation rests almost entirely on a single book published five decades ago. While he has produced other volumes over the years and made 31 films and videos, all roads in his career lead back to this masterpiece, "The Americans," an intimate visual chronicle of common people in ordinary situations drawn from several trips he made through his adopted country in the mid-1950s.

UGH! NOT AGAIN. The world's photojournalists have been doing their best to find original ways to illustrate the global financial crisis. Some of their efforts have been commendable -- others, not.
The Best and Worst of Financial Crisis Photography. SPIEGEL ONLINE has collected the best of the best, and some of the worst. First things first: It would be difficult to pin the blame on the current financial crisis on the traders on the floor of the world's stock markets. It's not their fault. But seriously. How many more images of contorted, exasperated, horrified and desperate traders can we take? For the last two weeks, as the financial markets have remained frozen and the stock markets -- at least until this week -- plummeted to ever lower depths, newspapers, Web sites and television news have offered up a parade of faces buried in hands, mouths agape in dismay and arms flailing in the air as traders watch stock prices fall off a cliff. http://www.spiegel.de/international/zeitgeist/0,1518,584127,00.html

AMATEUR REPORTERS -- Seth Shimkonis wants to help the orphans of Peru tell their own own story. In November, the 2000 South Western High School graduate will travel to Arequipa, Peru, for six months to teach the children of New Hope Children's Home the art of photography.
Eventually Shimkonis hopes to develop a program similar to Kids with Cameras. That program was created from the documentary film "Born into Brothels," which follows children who live in the red-light district of Calcutta. The children were given cameras to document their lives and surroundings, and the photos were then sold, with proceeds going toward the children's education.
