I’ve used a lot of different photographic techniques in the past thirty years. I realize there isn’t just one way to take a photograph, there are a thousand different ways—and that’s what I’ve taught the students. They should not insist on their beautiful Leica, or their Hasselblad, or whatever they use. The technique must result from the idea that you have—and you may have to develop your own technology to bring out the images. I’m not much interested in “straight” photography anymore. It has been practiced for more than 150 years, and most of it is too conventional. I’ve always wanted to go beyond the limits.

Nice piece showing you how they built the huge James Turrel installation Aten Reign in the Guggenheim Museum Rotunda.
Facebook just changed their terms of service again thus cementing their reputation as the new evil empire of the web when it comes to selling any content you post on it.
ASMP states: “Facebook is now able to exploit your name, likeness, content, images, private information, and personal brand by using it in advertising and in commercial and sponsored content — without any compensation to you”.
They break it all down here.
