I *LOVE* 28mm.org--it's great to see them back online since running into a bit of a bandwidth crisis last month. Two issues have come out since I last posted about this great online photography 'zine. Highlights from the August issue include a story on Mozambique Island by Dominic Turner and Peter Hovering's photo essay on young Iraqi boys' fascination for weapons and arms.
In the September issue, the standout gallery for me is Doug Burgess' collection of portraits shot in 1978 of people waiting for a train in Philadelphia’s 30th Street Station.
Jason Kottke did some experiments with stereoscopic photography back in January. Now check out these delightful animated stereoscopic images (via The Morning News).
Olivia Gay's beautiful portfolio site contains some interesting portraits of sex workers and strippers from France, Brazil, Cuba and Argentina (via thingsmagazine).
Recent photography-related deaths in the news: The Latvian inventor of the legendary Minox spy camera, Dr Walter Zapp, died in July (just an aside...while in Latvia two weeks ago, I went into a number of used and new camera stores to see what Minox cameras were on sale, and was told that they had never heard of Minox: "Did you mean Minolta?!"...umm, no?!!).
Leni Riefenstahl passed away on 9 September, just after celebrating her 101st birthday. Joerg of Conscientious has written an interesting post about his opinion of her role in documenting Nazi Germany.
Canadian and Iranian photojournalist Zahra Kazemi was arrested and beaten to death by intelligence agents in Iran in July of this year. The Iranian government initially denied all involvement in her death but did an about-face late last month and has begun serious investigations into what really happened.
