...Quentin State Prison in 1969, flipping the bird directly at Jim's lens, or the Beatles during their final concert performance, or Janis Joplin with her bottle of Southern Comfort, laughing at one of his jokes. There was no hair and makeup, no styling. At heart, he was a photojournalist. With a Leica camera or two hanging from his neck, Jim fought to get the best images he could, no matter whom or what he was shooting...
...that they are too simple: the characters too familiar, the stories too formulaic, the messages too spoon-fed. Donald Margulies' new Broadway offering, Time Stands Still, to take a typical example, won warm praise from most critics, but I found its alternately jokey and sanctimonious portrayal of a photojournalist and her war-correspondent boyfriend one giant media-friendly cliché. And I had to laugh at New York Times critic Ben Brantley's praise of Next Fall, Geoffrey Nauffts' new comedy-drama about a gay couple at odds over religion, as "that genuine rara avis, a smart, sensitive and utterly...
...Wolf's Inside is not the first book to contain such images. In 2007 Hong Kong photojournalist Vincent Yu published Our Home, Shek Kip Mei 1954-2006 - a work that included a collection of formal portraits of estate residents in their cramped dwellings, albeit in black and white.

We assume Pippa has coasted through life on not much more than her beauty. The Lees' adult daughter, photojournalist Grace (Zoe Kazan), is crazy about her daddy, but when she directs her attention at her mother it's usually to give her a scathing look. Pippa's neurotic friend Sandra (Winona Ryder) chafing under her own marriage to the overbearing Sam, describes Pippa as "peaceful and good," ostensibly with admiration...
...Sakamaki, a Japanese photojournalist, traveled around Xinjiang in mid-August, not long after the worst bout of interethnic violence in years had rocked the regional capital of Urumqi. Sakamaki, a veteran of conflict zones from Liberia to Sri Lanka, was struck by the air of tension. In Xinjiang, he says, there is an almost irreconcilable divide between the Uighurs and the Han. "They don't live with each other, they don't communicate to each other and they don't understand each other...
