While Joshua Irwandi was born and raised in Indonesia, the early pictures he made during his first visit to the region of Asmat, in the province of West Papua, were less than satisfying to him. Yet his fascination with the people and the place stuck, inspiring him to embark on the long-term project Not a Blank Canvas.

Few camera lenses helped to define a brand name more than Nikon’s NIKKOR 105mm f/2.5. Produced from 1959 to 2005, this portrait lens underwent five updates during the course of its production run, including a complete makeover, in 1977. Considered by many photographers to be one of the sweetest portrait lenses ever made, it shouldn’t be a surprise to learn it was the very lens used by Steve McCurry when he photographed the legendary “Afghan Girl” cover for National Geographic magazine.

Of course, there are several renowned photography book publishers, but if you know just one name in photo book publishing, it should be Aperture.

Book publishing is just one of the ways that this non-profit organization, founded by Minor White and others,

Perhaps there is one thing on which all photographers can agree: we love to photograph our pets. From amateur to professional, a simple photo of our dog, cat, or guinea pig making “that face” is almost irresistible and, based on the current exhibit at The Museum of the Dog, this fascination with photographing our pets reaches into the past for as long as the medium has existed.
On this week’s episode, we welcome author and vernacular photography collector Catherine Johnson, and

“A wiser feller than myself once said, ‘Sometimes you eat the bear, and sometimes the bear, well, he eats you.’”
A few of our listeners may recognize this quote from a certain 1998 movie but, for others, well, it may just be a confusing adage. For today’s episode of the B&H Photography Podcast, however, we did indeed “eat the bear” and are very fortunate to welcome actor, musician, and photographer Jeff Bridges to our show. In addition to

What is photography? Everything from a daguerreotype to a digital print, from Man Ray’s rayograms to Adam Fuss’s photograms, from sand-toned carbon prints by Julia Margaret Cameron to manipulated color Polaroids by Lucas Samaras to Jeff Wall’s meticulously constructed, computer-manipulated fictions. It’s Nadar and Penn, Brassai and Cindy Sherman, Nan Goldin and Gilbert & George, “Migrant Mother,” “Dovima
