"I love beautiful things, and I want to make pictures that lift people's spirits. I see the giving and receiving of photographs as something beautiful and personal."
Japan (signed) by Kubota, Hiroji : store.magnumphotos.com
by sbrothier
Modern Japan, the second largest economy in the world, is a land of contradictions. Home to some of the most sophisticated technology and manufacturing, it also has communities whose daily life has changed little in the last five hundred years. It is a land of great beauty, both in the landscape and in its celebrations, festivals, and traditional arts.

by sbrothier
A few people have been asking me how the LENS Blog on The New York Times site came to be and what software it was built on. I thought I’d shed a little light on the development process and answer some of these questions.

The Berlin Wall: 20 Years Later - The Berlin Wall Through Time - Interactive Feature - NYTimes.com
by sbrothier & 1 other
SNAKING ALONG, cutting through fields and streets, yards and gardens, the 28-mile-long Berlin Wall stood as a border between East and West Berlin from 1961 to 1989.
That all changed on Nov. 9, 1989, when an inexact translation, a confused border guard and a natural longing for a better life opened a hole in that wall that would eventually end the Cold War. Related Coverage | Article

“Le socle du webdocumentaire, c’est la photo”
by sbrothier
Matthieu Mondoloni est journaliste multimédia aux Dernières Nouvelles d’Alsace. Avec son collègue Pierre France, il a réalisé un webdocumentaire sur une maraude. Munis d’une caméra, d’un dictaphone, d’un appareil photo et d’un bloc notes, ils ont suivi une équipe de la ville de Strasbourg, de 19h à 2h du matin, à la rencontre des sans-abri. Matthieu et Pierre ont monté deux versions : un premier “collage multimédia” pour les DNA, et une deuxième réalisation, plus aboutie, qu’ils ont présentée au premier prix du webdocumentaire, organisé par RFI et France 24.
Leur travail a été récompensé à l’occasion du 21e festival Visa pour l’image de Perpignan. Samuel Bollendorff, président du jury, a voulu encourager les DNA, premier quotidien régional à se lancer dans l’aventure du webdocumentaire. Matthieu répond à trois questions sur cette expérience, qu’il ne demande qu’à renouveler.

Gaza Sderot, la vie malgré tout - bulb, Gerald Holubowicz photographer
by sbrothier & 1 other
Je me suis posé souvent la question d'aller là bas. Je m'interroge souvent sur la fascination qu'ont les photographes américains pour ces contrées aux senteurs d'orient. Ce besoin qu'ils éprouvent d'aller chercher, loin de chez eux, la poussière, les larmes et l'horreur d'un quotidien qu'on ne présente plus. Eh bien je continue de me dire qu'en ce domaine, c'est le temps qui donne une profondeur au sujet. Et le temps se donne à ceux qui vivent épaules contre épaules avec ceux qui souffrent. C'est donc aux équipes de production Israéliennes et Palestinienne en premier que je pense, car elles ont su démontrer que le récit racontais les même souffrances, les mêmes joies, la même humanité.
