Philip Gefter, "Photography After Frank", "As a witness to events, the
photojournalist sets out to chronicle what happens in the world as it
actually occurs. A cardinal rule of the profession is that the
presence of the camera must not alter the situation being
photographed. The viewer’s expectation about a picture’s veracity is
largely determined by the context in which the image appears. A
picture published in a newspaper is believed to be fact; an
advertising image is understood to be fiction. If a newspaper image
turns out to have been set up, then questions are raised about trust
and authenticity. Still, somewhere between fact and fiction — or
perhaps hovering slightly above either one — is the province of
metaphor, where the truth is approximated in renderings of a more
poetic or symbolic nature."

Sean O'Hagan for guardian.co.uk,"Arthur Miller later wrote of the
photographs that Cartier-Bresson took in America: "Since his is
fundamentally a tragic vision, he reacted most feelingly to what in
America he saw as related to its decay, its pain." Evans would surely
have approved. When The Decisive Moment was published in America in
1952, Evans reviewed it for the New York Times, describing
Cartier-Bresson simply but tellingly as "a true man of the eye". He
could also, of course, have been describing himself. Each of them, in
their separate ways, reinvented photography, and although neither of
them believed it to be as elevated as painting or writing, they helped
make photography the art form it is today."
Sonia Kolesnikov-Jessop for The New york Times,"The earliest remaining
known photographs of China were taken by Jules Itier, a Frenchman who
traveled to China in the 1840s as part of a diplomatic mission sent by
King Louis-Philippe.
Itier passed through Macao in 1844 and the subjects of some of his
photographs — like the ruins of St. Paul’s Cathedral, once the largest
Catholic cathedral in Asia — look little changed today. But most of
his photographs tell the story of a very different Macao, the one that
existed before land reclamation and rapid urbanization.
His work is a highlight of an exhibit called “A Journey through Light
and Shadow — The Invention of Photography and the Earliest Photographs
of Macao, China,” which will run until Aug. 23 at the Museum of
Macau."

"This retrospective exhibition of photographs about the Gay community
revisits work done by celebrated Los Angeles based photographer
Anthony Friedkin. This powerful and important set of vintage
photographs, over 35 years old, historically documents what was then
the emerging identity of the homosexual community, and the beginnings
of the Gay Liberation Movement. First displayed in a Los Angeles
exhibit in 1973 and later again in 1994 it's been over fifteen years
since these unique and beautifully printed vintage photographs have
been on view."

"A picture essay in The Times Magazine on Sunday and an expanded slide
show on NYTimes.com entitled "Ruins of the Second Gilded Age" showed
large housing construction projects across the United States that came
to a halt, often half-finished, when the housing market collapsed. The
introduction said that the photographer, a freelancer based in
Bedford, England, "creates his images with long exposures but without
digital manipulation."
A reader, however, discovered on close examination that one of the
pictures was digitally altered, apparently for aesthetic reasons.
Editors later confronted the photographer and determined that most of
the images did not wholly reflect the reality they purported to show.
Had the editors known that the photographs had been digitally
manipulated, they would not have published the picture essay, which
has been removed from NYTimes.com."
