  Angkor Photography Festival Contest

  11.27.07 | Permalink | Comment?

  Check out the awesome set of images from the Angkor Photography Festival competition on flickr. My favorites include this, this and this. Sorry no images, I need to figure out a way to post images from flickr onto the blog. p.s. Just upgraded my Mac OS to 10.4.11 and the new Safari is looking good but it is screwing up my Wordpress!

  Photogels

  11.25.07 | Permalink | 1 Comment

  As a starving university student, I’m a big Strobist fan. I have been sourcing for proper color gels for my flash unsuccessfully until I found Photogels, which sells pre-cut color correction gels for small flashes.
  I sent in an order four months ago but for some odd reason, my gels never arrived. Even after getting them […]

  Anak Navaraj

  I couldn’t find any information about Anak Navaraj, save for his/her website. I’m not certain that he/she is from Thailand but the pictures on his/her website captured my attention. I would be happy if someone could furbish me with more information.

  I find myself strangely attracted to effective diptychs recently. There is […]

  Thai Phien

  Hanoi is poised to hold Vietnam’s first nude photography exhibition by photographer Thai Phien. It seems like it is causing quite a stir in the country as people grapple with ‘unhealthy’ images in the society.
  I cannot gauge the masses’s reaction. In a conservative country like Vietnam expanding so quickly, it may take a while […]

  Dhaka-based photojournalist, Andrew Biraj, has got some interesting works up on his site. Biraj has worked on several stories in his native homeland Bangladesh, Cambodia and the United Kingdom.
  State Excluded is the story of Islamic Biharis living in government-run refugee camps in Bangladesh. This series was included in Noorderlicht this year, under the Faith of […]

  Liyu and Liu Bo

  11.19.07 | Permalink | 2 Comments

  Liyu and Liu Bo’s 13 Months in the Year of the Dog turned news snippets into tongue-in-cheek recreations. They are working on a similar series for 2007 and as the year draws to a close, one sees China through a collection of weird and sometimes funny “news” images.
  They question the ability of the media […]

  Buck Pago is a freelance photojournalist from the Philippines. Check out some of his work on flickr.
  He informs me of his intention to create Philippines’ first photo collective/agency, slated to start operation sometime next year. The photographers would have full control over their works and income, while the agency acts an assignment pool. […]

  Family Pictures

  11.17.07 | Permalink | 7 Comments

  I covered my cousin’s wedding today because my mom asked me to. I don’t really fancy myself a very good wedding photographer, perhaps just someone who can deliver decent documentary shots of the day’s going-ons. It felt different shooting today because I was covering my own family, instead of some stranger’s wedding. I was no […]
