From the Super Smog in China, to photographs of women in Nepal, to new species in the Amazon, and finally some happy tiger news, we have a little bit of everything this week. Dive right in.

  • Pay the photographer. Baltimore photographer and Strobist guru David Hobby experienced an all too common request for free photography. But when that request came from the multi-million dollar National Association of Realtors, he took to his blog to share his thoughts.
  • Lovely images that a father captured of his young, autistic son.
  • The photos of the Super Smog is China this week are terrifying. They sadly reminded us of the Edward Burtynsky film Manufactured Landscapes, which you can watch on Netflix.
  • Photographer Marie Dorigny documented the victimization of women in Nepal. Her work was funded by the International Photo Reporter Festival, which is using a new model of private and community money to sponsor photojournalism.
  • iPad photography may be gaining more acceptance, but that doesn’t make people look less ridiculous when they are doing it.
  • In related iPad photography news, Canon has “cut its annual profit forecast and predicted its first drop in sales of models with an interchangeable lens as consumers switch to smartphones to take photos.“
  • Photographer Lisa Shires, whose work from Cuba we featured in August, has new work on her website from Nicaragua.
  • The prints, collages, and bleached polaroids of artist Robert Rauschenberg will be at the Pace/MacGill Gallery in New York at the beginning of November. While the artist may be known for the many types of art he produced, his photography was a central part of his career.
  • Over 400 new species of animals have been discovered in the Amazon rain forest since 2010. The Guardian has a gallery of pictures of these “new” members of the planet. Look at them now, because their habitat is so endangered, many may not be around long.
  • Photographer Richard Renaldi and the Aperture Foundation raised money for his series, Touching Strangers. The work has been getting some press attention, for good reason.
  • Fotoweek DC is right around the corner. Check out our preview of must see exhibits and events.
  • And finally, to counterbalance last week’s terrible tiger news, the Australia zoo released photos and video of their twin Sumatran Tiger cubs.
