by Gavin Seim: I’d like to formally welcome Isaiah Taylor to the PPS team of writers. I’ve been working to increase our numbers lately, to bring the PPS community more content and perspectives about photography. I think it’s great to have people from various walks of their careers share ideas and inspirations. Here’s a few words straight from our new writer.
“I am a 26 year old photography student from Cleveland, OH. I have been a photographer for 8 years; with emphasis on documentary photography. I have documented the bboy community for 8 years which is just as long as I have personally been a participant.”
As you’ll see in the feed, Isaiah has already posted a some content and I’m eager to see what comes from him in the future. You can also check out other memebers of the PPS tean over on the about page. Here’s to more and more great content on Pro Photo Show… Gav

Although CNET may have been a bit too swift in posting video for the camera a couple days ago [prior to Canon’s announcement], it looks like quite the frenzy of news is centered around Canon’s Rebel T1I ability to capture video. I always find it funny when info is ‘accidentally’ leaked in the tech world only for the victim [in this case Canon] to give off the impression as if they are forced to release this information. Be that as it may, Canon has a new ‘semi-entry level’ DSLR. Here are the specs:

Above is one of many photos which was recently released by the Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division.  Looking at the photos from the FSA-OWI era, this one in particular, one can not help but think of the power of documentary photography. What is striking with these newly released photographs would be the power of color photography in contrast with the already established power of the now, iconic, black and white photos of the FSA series.
We can see that Robert Lee, Jack Delano and the rest of the FSA legends are masters of their crafts; even moreso with the addition of their color photography.
What I find most interesting in this most recent set of photos would be that we as artist or art enthusiast have known of the FSA series to be one of the foundations of what makes black and white portraiture evocative. How a shared moment in time could be could completely trump a ‘staged’ studio portrait. It also goes without saying how strange of a time we live in now, where seeing these photos on a ‘relatible’ level. If you are American or a citizen of the world and just so happen to be from a meager background, these photos show a rich reflection of how we once were. These photos show us [be it positive or negative] what we are today.
