They say that if God loves you, He will let you live a long life, but I wish that He loved me a little less. I wish that I didn’t live long enough to see my country in ruins.” – Ahmad, a 102 year old Syrian refugee /photo by A. McConnell, UNHCR

Beyond Instagram: Should photographers accept the risks inherent in social networks?

The question should be: can we fight these advances and the millions of people who are consuming images in that way? Or should we accept this new form of consumption and instead look at how we can bring them closer to us, how we can interact and benefit from them. We need to put ourselves in their shoes, accept their rules and, down the line, monetise them. We might be the authors of our work, but without an audience, we’re nothing.

Photos embody this problem the most. They’re traditionally seen as objects. Things that are tangible. But Instagram is the boldest example of how easily that can change. I personally think this will apply equally to other media as the technology and culture evolves, and we’re only seeing it first with photography.

The huge clouds of matter thrown out a century and a half ago, known as the Homunculus Nebula, have been a regular target for Hubble since its launch in 1990. This image, taken with the Advanced Camera for Surveys High Resolution Channel is the most detailed yet, and shows how the material from the star was not thrown out in a uniform manner, but forms a huge dumbbell shape.

This image consists of ultraviolet and visible light images from the High Resolution Channel of Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys. The field of view is approximately 30 arcseconds across.

Believing is Seeing (Observations on the mysteries of photography)

I’ve read most of these essays, and all I can say is they have all turned out to be thought provoking, revealing, and well crafted. Considering how much of our world is now defined by photography, it is worthy of your attention.
