Call out to all our New York and US members

Ruud van der Lubben 12.11.12, 23:22
A dutch TV program called Memories, is trying to locate a homeless woman in New York. At least that is where she lived some 14 years ago, when Sander, a then young student filmmaker met her and made a film about her.

Since then he lost track of her and with the help of the TV program he's now trying to locate her.

Have a look at this short film and if you have any info let us have it !!

Mention Notification

Yasemin C. 05.11.12, 13:48
I think users should be aware of it if their name or work is mentioned somewhere in FC.

Since we have user id.s and the photos have photo id.s, an in-house notification (like it is in FB) can be send to the photographer if someone pastes his user id or photo id somewhere.

Cos mostly users are unaware if someone replies him or mentions about him or his work somewhere. This puts people back of having effective conversation.

Could it be?

Where does photography stop and Digital Art start? Or is it

Ken Piros 14.01.12, 01:10
I go with cameras since more than 30 years now, and still keep my old SLRs in honor and good shape.
When digital photography came up, it took me quite a time to get warm with it, just because of this theme.
I only use PS for minor improvements of my pics, thats it.
As long as a pic is especially declared as "DigiArt" it is okay to make almost everything out of it.
The viewer knows that no documented reality is the intention of the artist.
Another side is the hidden manipulation just to gain sort of reward, that is fake and incorrect.
And between these sides is an undefined "grey zone" as we Germans express it. It is up to each person behind the lens to make his or her choice how far digital manipulation is okay for that special exposure.

Nude content - part II

Carla Fiorina 22.10.12, 00:16
I reconsidered and did not block him from anything. At the same time you are doing exactly that what i asked him not to do. Discussions between a member and admin are private and are not supposed to be published on the forums or any other place.

I am closing this discussion now.

Maybe.... you are just taking this too far.

I really start to wonder why i am still spending my precious private time to being a volunteer at this place.

About nude pictures

Carla Fiorina 21.10.12, 23:52
Just learned about the community and was looking through the forums for some general impressions before putting up some shots of my own.

I am very curious about this. It looks to me a rather American or - to keep it in an European perspective - Dutch black bible belt prudish attitude. I have read the rules and I do understand that explicit nude photography or erotic photography is placed in a separate section. No problem with that - sort of.

But how this is handled is rather silly. Looking at the series from the photographer Glenn Capers, it really is journalism or documentary photography. Not porn. Not erotic photography. Not even the nudity is subject of the shot. Something a professional working photo journalist acting as an admin here should be able to recognize I guess.

And why is this shot removed? Why not the other ones where breastfeeding a child is the in the shot? or a nude mother in a douche cabin?

And yes why are there shots of naked people from Africa in the travel section? Why are they not removed? Because that is more "normal" on that continent? I certainly can tell you breastfeeding is done all over the world like it is shown in that shot... so why not tolerate this one shot and do tolerate the others? I certainly would count that as racism or discrimination, which by the way explicitly is forbidden by European and non European laws. And to say that it is a ridiculous assumption says more about the respondent's look at this matter than about the writer of the comment at the top of the list.

Also wondering if there are more admins that apply "the rules" as arbitrary as seems to be the case here? Maybe they can chime in here.

Please explain!

Danke Holger für deine Antwort, die mich zwar auch nicht weiterbringt aber es war von einem Hobbyfotografen wahrscheinlich auch eine laienhafte Frage. Ein großer Reiseveranstalter hat mir mal für 2 Bilder eine Kreuzfahrt geschenkt.

Moscow Photo Workshop with VII's Davide Monteleone, 01.2013

xxx xxx 01.10.12, 09:39
YarT Photography presents

Moscow Photography Workshop with Davide Monteleone (VII)

Moscow, with its unique mix of slavic and asian cultures and its striking juxtaposition of Soviet-era influence and Orthodox religious heritage, is an ideal destination for visual storytelling. Over the course of this workshop, students will learn from photojournalist David Monteleone, who has worked for years in Moscow and across Russia, how to tell a story that advances their personal vision and builds their professional identities. David will assist students in identifying a strong subject, transforming their ideas into a visual style, and executing a strong photographic essay. Practical tips on how to build a portfolio and present yourself to agencies and editors will also be emphasized. Over the course of the workshop, students will meet with professional Russian photographers to exchange ideas, discuss current work and make plans for future collaborations.
David’s renowned work on Russia includes “Dusha” (“Russian Soul”), a photographic journey through Russia, and “Russian Caucasus,” a long lasting series dedicated to the vast territory torn by national conflicts.

Applications submitted before November 1, 2012, are eligible for a 10% discount.
A scholarship is available to cover 50% of the workshop fee for young photographers under 28 years old. The scholarship application deadline is October 15, 2012.

Street Photography Image Composition Quality

Ken Piros 06.09.12, 16:14
@Holger.I agree with you, street photography is not a science and not an art, it can not be created on a computer or in Photoshop. It's just life as it is today. And tomorrow will be different. The main thing - to see it. In our town there were only a few photographers (out of hundreds), who could be called street photography. It is sad that they're gone, but they were photos that you want to always look at the pictures and find every time something new and interesting for yourself.
