Congrats again to all of the winners of our 10th annual photo contest! We are busy planning the best party we can possibly throw you on March 10 and hope all of you will join us. Let’s get to the links:

  • Hop on it: Staff photographer positions don’t open very often these days. Washingtonian Magazine wants YOU.
  • The Washington Post has a special feature about D.C photographer Chris Earnshaw, and his Polaroids of the devastated city in the 1970s.
  • The New York Times Lens blog published a two-part story with new research on the life of Vivian Maier.
  • David Bowie died this week at 69; Al Jazeera America has one of the better photo galleries from his life. Made all the more sad because AJA shuttered its entire division this week, laying off hundreds. The Guardian, meanwhile, covers Alan Rickman’s life in pictures. RIP, you brilliant men.
  • “If you were there when the Hindenburg caught on fire, and you took a picture of it, that’s a great photograph. But you’re not a great photographer, because you can’t repeat that in everyday things. What a great photographer does is, they are consistently able to make something in a style that’s personal to themselves.” PBS talks to photographer Ken Van Sickle about what makes a photographer now that everyone can take pictures.
  • An Instagram “power user” took a video of what his notifications look like (when he has them on).
  • Photo editor Elizabeth Krist is retiring after 21 years and editing over four million photos at National Geographic. See her top ten favorite stories from over the years.
  • In the upcoming publication “Notes for an Epilogue,” Tamas Dezso photographs the vanishing world of old Romania.
  • Scroll down the list of finalists for the annual American Society of Magazine Editors awards to see the Feature Photography picks in The California Sunday Magazine, Politico, New York, Vanity Fair, and W.
  • Gloria is cute as hell and probably does more on three legs than you do on two. You can adopt her from the Washington Humane Society, Georgia Avenue location.
