So you’ve bought your Exposed 2014 opening night tickets, right? Ok, then. Your reward is this week’s allotment of alluring links, including fantastic Snowy Owl research photos, local photographer Jim Darling’s upcoming pop-up studio, and the sad story behind Calumet’s demise:

  • We learned yesterday that Calumet Photo filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Their website is gone, all their twitter feeds have been deleted, and the short update they wrote on facebook about their closing has also been deleted. Calumet took over three Penn Camera stores in the area after they closed down a few years ago. Peta Pixel has an interview with a former employee which details how bad things had gotten at the retailer.
  • Just how valuable are your Instagram photos? Daniel Arnold made $15K in one day selling prints of his popular Instagram shots.
  • A Photo Editor wrote his own guide to photography contests.
  • The Baltimore Police are at it again. They forced Baltimore Sun photo editor Chris Assaf away from the scene of an office involved shooting. We wrote about another similar incident with Baltimore Police last year.
  • D.C. area photographer Kristi Odom is headed to Bolivia to photograph the illegal animal trade. She is looking for financial backing on the project, and has almost met her goal.
  • Photographer Meredith Rizzo has some great images in an NPR story on the snowy owl.
  • Need a good headshot? Local photographer Jim Darling, whose portraits we profiled last year, is hosting a pop-up portrait studio on 3/22.
  • D.C. based photographer Mathew Ramsey is getting a lot of attention for his burger porn project. The photos look very tasty.
  • Combat photographer Stacey Pearsall shared stories about working as an Air Force photographer with Photoshelter.
  • This week PetaPixel wrote about the work Paulo Ordoveza, or @PicPedant, is doing to expose fake or copyrighted photos posted on twitter. You may remember that we interviewed Ordoveza back in January.
  • General Colin Powell posted a selfie he took 60 years ago to facebook yesterday. He even managed to call out Ellen in the process.
  • (e)merge art fair will return for their fourth year to D.C. this fall.
  • “Permitting photography led to constant tension between those who wanted a clear view for their camera and those who wished to look at the paintings.” To ban or not to ban cameras at museums.
  • An finally, Nepal celebrated some happy news this week when it marked 365 days without a tiger, rhino or elephant being poached.

Profane and the Sacred by Kevin Wolf
Profane and the Sacred by Kevin Wolf

Happy Friday everyone! This week we have the not-so-happy breakup of the Corcoran, a video about a National Geographic archivist, the Leica Store DC’s latest winner, and much more. Enjoy!

  • Local photographer Jim Darling photographed the home of the founders of Sweetgreen for GQ.
  • A legal dispute over a photo taken by Maxwell Jackson and used by The Color Run was disputed, and finally settled without going to court. Lesson for everyone, have a contract whenever you license your images.
  • Photography from Ben Shahn & Marion Post Wolcott of African Americans living in Appalachia.
  • If you haven’t seen the Faces of Olympic Figure Skating yet, some of the looks are priceless.
  • The Leica Store DC announced their March Oskar Barnak Wall winner.
  • “Mainardis estimates that Getty lay down some 22 kilometers of ethernet cable so that most of its 37 photographers could be directly wired in.” Gizmodo breaks down the Olympic effort it takes to produce great images at the Games.
  • Dado Ruvic, a Reuters photographer, captured the abandoned Olympic venues in Sarajevo.
  • In case you missed it, the Corcoran is being taken over by GWU and the National Gallery of Art. Philip Kennicott is calling it “cultural euthanasia.”
  • National Geographic just released a very cool mini-documentary about their photograph archivist, Bill Bonner.
  • Incredible and horrendous images from the protests in the Ukraine. Be warned that many of those photos are not suitable for everyone.
  • Check out a sampling of astronaut Don Pettit’s photographs from space.
  • And finally, in tiger news, the Los Angeles Zoo will be hosting Snow Days this weekend. Their Sumatran tiger will have his pen transformed into a winter wonderland.

Jim Darling’s Portraits

October 10, 2013 By Meaghan Gay

9_KATIEA snapshot of a another person is a simple takeaway of a moment, meant to capture a passing second of time. A portrait is more special. A portrait can share insight about the subject, and the photographer. Jim Darling’s portrait work shares with the viewer a deeper sense of the subject and of himself.

“East Potomac Pool” by Jim Darling

Jim Darling’s photograph of the East Potomac Pool is a slap in the face reminder that summer is officially over. No more outdoor pool hours, no more long sunny days, and no more running in the sprinkler. We should see Christmas decorations in the stores any day now.
