Photo Blog Review: Dodge & Burn Diversity In Photography



Graphic Design © Qiana Mestrich - Follow Me On Twitter

There are a lot of Photo Blogs out in the blogosphere so its a bit difficult finding ones way to the good ones.

PHOTOGRAPHY BLOGS:  Good Photo Blogs Have a Few Things in Common

1.  Good photography blogs focus primarily on OTHER PEOPLE'S Photography.

2.  They are a source of valuable photo industry news, events and information.

3.  Under reported stories and newly discovered, emerging and even undiscovered photography is the soup d'jour.

In that light, please have a look at Dodge and Burn, described by its author as "highlighting what is often "dodged" from the art scene and "burned" in art history: photographers of African, Asian, Latino, Native American, Pacific Islander and Aleutian heritage, women photographers and works of photography about these and other indigenous communities of the world."

You will find Photographer Interviews with African photography talents such as Rushay Booysen and Aida Muluneh as well as glimpses into photographic history and opinion too!

OK folks, surf on out of here and see what's new over at Dodge and Burn.  There's always something interesting happening!

India: The Transgender World is the title of the newest feature story appearing on Gaia Photos visually displayed by Spain's Alessandro Vincenzi.

As Vincenzi explains, "During British raj the colonials passed a law declaring trans-gendered people were “sodomites” and who practiced homosexualiy. This was the first time that trans-gendered persons in India were openly discriminated against."

He continues, "There is an estimated 25,000 trans-gendered people in Mumbai and 60% of them are involved in the commercial sex industry while 20% are infected with HIV. The infected are relegated to begging for 4-5 hours at a time and normally earn 50-60 rupees (about 1 euro) each."

Please view the complete feature and see a more of Alessandro Vincenzi's photography,
