Alex Garcia: “Let Go of Yourself”

For the documentary photographer, selective perception is an obstacle bigger than the two-ton security guard who steps in front of you and says “scram!” It’s silent and imperceptible but it nonetheless keeps us from seeing the full range of meaning and moments that are standing right in front of us. So questions can linger, even after making a great picture from a situation. Was a better one lurking in there somewhere? Was the great picture the most honest one? Did we leave too early? Did we focus on the wrong subject? Were we focused too much on ourself?
To continue reading, check out Alex Garcia’s Tuesday’s Tips.

Please Help Publish “Thank You For Your Call”

In July I created a multimedia project entitled “Thank You For Your Call,” which helped shed some light on the fact that thousands of LGBT community members are unfairly denied Social Security survivors benefits each year because the federal government does not consider their relationships vaild. Over the past few months, the video appeared on NPR, NBC, The New Yorker, and The Advocate. However, I am now trying to get the still images and the story published in print form, which is a difficult task in itself.
One avenue is through JPG Magazine, but in order for that to happen the project needs your vote. So I am asking readers to join JPG Magazine and vote “Yes” if you think “Thank You For Your Call” deserves publishing.

And I apologize for the campaigning, but this story must be seen by as many people as possible.

Student Arrested For Recording Cops
Published October 4, 2010 Harassment , Photographers' Rights , Police , Police Harassment 7 CommentsTags: Connecticut, Kenneth Hartford, New Haven, Quinnipiac University, student
The video taken by Hartford appears to show that the officers only arrested the original student because Hartford began filming. One officer, who began dancing when the camera was turned on, looked into the camera and said, “Watch this.” He then asked the student who they were questioning whether he was with Hartford. When the student replied yes, the officer turned to another officer and said, “Cuff him up.”

Bruce Davidson: The Outsider Speaks
Published October 4, 2010 Photography Leave a CommentTags: Boston University, Bruce Davidson, Outside Inside
The Boston Globe had a interview with Bruce Davidson last week in advance of his talk at Boston University this Thursday evening. Davidson has recently published “Outside Inside,” an enormous three-volume retrospective of more than 800 photographs over his 50-year career — work so varied as to include a teenage gang in Brooklyn in the 50s, Marilyn Monroe on the set of The Misfits in 1960, the Civil Rights movement in the 60s, one block in Harlem in the 70s, the New York subway in the 80s, and Paris and LA’s urban landscapes in the 00s.
The thing that marks Davidson, 77, as unique is not a definitive style but an absence of one. As he told the Globe:
“No, I wasn’t conscious of that,’’ Davidson says when asked about an unwillingness to repeat himself. “In fact, until someone told us that photography was an art we just kept our mouths shut and took our pictures, you know?”

Grab Your Cameras: Stop FBI Repression
Published October 4, 2010 Photography , Photojournalism , Protests & Rallies Leave a CommentTags: FBI raids, Illinois, Minneapolis, Minnesota, political activists
Protests and rallies can offer great opportunities for photojournalism, so for all you photographers in the Minneapolis area there will be a demonstration tomorrow to protest the FBI’s recent raids that targeted political activists in Illinois and Minnesota. And if you are unaware of these controversial raids (which included five homes and one office in Minneapolis), check out Answer Coalition’s coverage of the story.
From Answer Coalition:
FBI agents served search warrants and grand jury subpoenas on the activists on Sept. 24 and 27, allegedly relating to political speech in defense of the Palestinian and Colombian peoples. The activists have committed no crime; the real target of the raids are political dissent and free speech. These terror tactics are meant to have a chilling effect on progressive movements.
Date: Tuesday, October 5, 2010
Time: 4:30 p.m.
Location: Outside FBI headquarters
111 Washington Ave S
(Corner of Marquette and Washington Aves)
