In this recurring column, we highlight a few items we've run across that don't merit a full story of their own but are interesting enough to bring to your attention. This time we look at Latin American photojournalism, Leonard Nadel, the 2011 Tohuku Earthquake, long exposures and the LensCulture Street Photography Awards.
- The Best of Latin American Photojournalism features a few images from the fourth annual Latin American Foto festival at the Bronx Documentary Center in New York, which runs until Aug. 1.
- In The Rise and Fall of an American Dream, Anya Ventura looks at the Aliso Village housing project photographed in 1948-1949 by Leonard Nadel for Aliso Village, USA. "Intended in part to showcase the New Deal achievements of the 1937 Housing Act, the photographs of rows of identical buildings, separated by neat strips of lawn, emphasized the modernist ideal of communal living," she writes.
- Suzanne Sease presents image of Japan after the 2011 Tohuku Earthquake by Slav Zatoka Blue Lens Factory. "I decided not to sell any images as stock and put together a Blurb book hoping to raise money to help photographers like Ken [Ken'ichi Kikuchi] rebuilt their studios," he writes.
- Dahlia Ambrose provides 25 examples of Long Exposure Photography. "Blur in the images can be used as leading lines, frames, patterns, etc., to make the image look interesting and effective," she writes.
- LensCulture is accepting submissions for its LensCulture Street Photography Awards through Aug. 25. Awards include an exhibition in New York, extensive media coverage, projection at international photography festivals, cash prizes and more. Single-image entries are free.
