From the Archive - A Month In Records: January 2008
But then again this is a music website...
and I should've known better.
whats in
that sling.
thats a band name right there.
Yeah I agree.
I'd never noticed this before, but my brother pointed it out the other day when we were talking about photography in newspapers.
They must have some of the most skilled experts in their team to get some of those shots. That one there is amazing.
Broadsheet photography always usually has loads of connotations, whereas local newspaper and tabloids are just horrible point-and-snap shots.
i agree
it is absolutely stunning.
and yeah, tabloids are horrible, but then again if you think of the target audience of tabloids (white van workers) then you can't really imagine them understanding photography really. as long as someone's got their tits out they're happy.
It's worldwide coverage which amazes me,
where ever the story is in the world, they'll have a killer shot to go with it. Without fail. I especially like their sports photos as they always seem to pick the one that makes the subject look the ugliest.
They (like most forms of media)
Just pay local freelancers for the majority of their shots.
yeah but
they always pick the best.
Of course,
it's the consistency that I admire.
Yes!
The centre spread (steady) they usually have is amazing. I kept the one they had of Trafalgar Square and its surrounding streets.
Definite talent.
i agree.
they do always seem to have amazing photos.
The slingshot one?
I think it's a bit corny, but I do like a lot of the photography they use.
Corny? really?
What I like is the fact the sligshot is such a biblical icon in an extreamly religiously charged conflict...and because he's in sillouhette(sp?) the photo is timeless.
apart from the pylons, obviously
*abandon eyes*
I dunno
With the mist, the pylons, the silhouette -- it's sort of beautiful but dishonest.
By Dishonest do you mean unreal?
because that's exactly why I like it.
Yes they do.
I always check the middle spread even if I don't get a chance to read it properly. My favourites are the one of the French riots a couple of years ago, one of a market in Africa that captured it perfectly and one of the Millenium bridge that made all of London look miniature, as it was quite cleverly done (not just from a long way off).
photography is what made me start buying papers.
first the independent, and now the guardian. some of it is simply gorgeous.
^
same here, the independent quickly lost me due to its preachiness.
www.reuters.com is better
They are very good also
Thanks
they are amazing... their integrity behind every single shot
is guaranteed... thank God for the Reuters trust.
