Saturday, August 15, at the age of 87. PHOTOGRAPHY BLOG - NEWS Tiny stages, filled with over-contrasted musicians, often illuminated by a single blinding light, one that cut through the otherwise dark, crowded, cigarette and sweat filled room—these were the iconic images that made Leonard famous—although not until more than 30 years after they were taken.
Official Ricoh CX4 Sample Images AUG 20, 2010 01:00P.M.
While most of his now-famous candids of jazz greats like Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Benny Goodman, Mike Davis and Frank Sinatra, were taken in the late 1940’s and early 1950’s, it wasn’t until the mid 1980’s that his work was recognized—when a book titled “The Eye of Jazz,” was finally published. Leonard had a passion for jazz music even as a child, but loved photography just as much—so naturally once World War II ended, Leonard took it upon himself to document the popular New York City jazz scene. A commercial photographer by day, Leonard was able to talk his way into many of New York’s hippest clubs by night. It’s hard to imagine what our perceptions of this fascinating period in American music and culture would be like without Leonard’s photography. Thankfully, a project is currently underway to digitize Leonard’s massive collection of negatives, so that they may be kept for posterity.
Ricoh has posted five official sample photos taken with the newly announced Ricoh CX4 digital compact camera. Read more and comment »

Nikon D3100 AUG 19, 2010 03:35P.M.
Boltron (aka Nate Bolt), in collaboration with Paul Octavius, Steph Goralnick, and Laura Miner, created The Shutter Exchange. It’s a simple yet ingenious method of photographing your friends from states away (and even further!). It gives you control of their camera via the internet! Quickie tutorial: 1) Connect DSLR to computer via USB cable 2) Use Remote DSLR Pro software to view what your camera sees on your computer screen 3) Give control of your screen to your friends by using Skype or Adobe Connect’s screen-sharing features 4) With the combination of Remote DSLR Pro and screen-sharing, your friends can adjust your camera’s settings and release your camera’s shutter from afar! Yes. Much easier than breaking our body into a million pieces and putting them back together again.
The Nikon D3100 is a new, 14.2-megapixel digital SLR camera with 11 AF sensors, Full HD video and full-time AF in Live View and D-movie modes.
