A Photographic Round Up

The last few weeks have been packed with goodies from the photo world... Here are a few snippets to remember.

Naomi Harris' American Swingers

The release party for photographer Naomi Harris' Taschen publication "America Swings" is set to launch next Tuesday, but you can still check out an interview with her over at Slideluck Potshow. Harris took a raunchy escapade into the underbelly of all-American erotica, and came out of it with a shocking and lovable documentary. Check out the interview with Naomi here.

James Nachtwey's TED Prize
TED, a conference that joins together some of the most brilliant minds in respective industries, awarded photographer James Nachtwey with the coveted TED prize, resulting in a wish. These wishes have materialized in global projects, such as Pangea Day or Dave Egger's Once Upon a School. Photographer' James Nachtwey announced his wish last week, which manifested in the organization XDRTB, helping with the prevention of and education concerning Tuberculosis.



At Home with David Allen Harvey

I attended a fantastic presentation of images from Magnum photographer David Alan Harvey's workshop "At Home with David Alan Harvey". Harvey held classes in his Brooklyn based studio and invited guest speakers such as David Griffin, Director of Photography at National Geographic, and Mary Anne Golon, past editor of Time Magazine, to present during the last workshop. The images were diverse, but the body of work was solid, considering the one-week time frame students were permitted. One of my favorites was a dreamscape series shot by photographer Kyunghee Lee, who traveled all the way from Korea to attend the workshop.

Jennifer MacFarlane's Images from Cambodia

Jennifer MacFarlane, of pixcetera blog fame for her images of Manu Chao, had an opening last week at (Eco)Compassion featuring images shot for Glamour Magazine of the sex slave industry in Cambodia. MacFarlane traveled with reporter Marianne Pearl to shoot the story. The images are striking portraits of precocious children, forced into the industry at age seven. I previously interviewed Jenn about he project, and that piece can be found here.
