It’s just in planning/possibility stage right now, but this player is our proposal to the Knight News Challenge; read it, rate it, review it.

You Suck at Photoshop

They’re already into Season 2, but if you can’t keep up, go back to the basics, My Damn Channel You Suck at Photoshop #1:

Josh Quittner recently wrote an article for Time, “The Photoshop Guys Revealed!” unmasking the creators of the enormously popular and hilarious Photoshop tutorials “You Suck At Photoshop”. The 10 episode series (Season 1) on My Damn Channel was created by Matt Bledsoe and Troy Hitch (Troy does the voice of Donnie) of the creative agency Big Fat Brain, who designed the My Damn Channel website and are the guys behind the series “Tim after Tim”.

HV Heads

This, sad to say, is the Hearing Voices brain trust:

Golding, Carrier, Massett (and in the background, ArtS —  who should have his Photoshop privileges revoked. BTW, that brew is my fave IPA: Dogfish Head 90 Minute.)

400 Fish

C’mon, bait your line. Let’s go smelt fishin’ on the ice. Ten shacks on a frozen river are filled with ice fishermen for ten weeks each year. Owner Steve Leighton provides the bait; his patrons bring the beer; and the fish take care of the rest. Produced by Grant Fuller of the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies, premiered on Weekend America, “What Are You Gonna Do with 400 Fish?” (5:13 mp3):

While you’re listening, check the photos of Sarah Breul, also of SALT, who tagged along to Leighton’s Smelt Camp on the Abagadasset River in Bowdinham, Maine, and took these Image of Ice Fishing…

Movement Soul- video

In 1963-4 two Atlanta residents collected live recordings at freedom movement events in the deep south, mass meetings, sermons, rallies, interviews. Their collection, now at the Library of Congress, is called “Movement Soul.” This interview is with one of the recordists, David Baker; slideshow sequenced by Max Darham. “Movement Soul: Civil Rights- Live:”

Iraqi Kurdistan

MediaStorm: Iraqi Kurdistan by Ed Kashi is a photo-portrait of Iraqi Kurdistan made from photo stills into a flipbook-style animation .

 

“Iraqi Kurdistan is an expansive look into the daily lives of the Kurdish people of northern Iraq. These images provide an alternative perspective on a changing culture, one different from the destruction and discord that dominates so much media coverage of the region. Here are policemen seated on the floor, eating lunch and laughing, old men taking care of their fields and young girls celebrating at a suburban birthday party.

There is also hardship and tribulation, to be sure; the Iraqi Kurds endured generations of brutality under Saddam Hussein. His genocidal campaigns cost close to 200,000 lives.

Child’s play- Fatah & Hamas

An aid worker I met based in Gaza sent me this, titled: “Children playing a game called ‘Fatah and Hamas'”:

Here’s one I shot in Jursalem:

Would love to do a thing on childern and play violence. The problem I have seeing a kid with a gun is that they will both eventually mature.

Artificial Eye Maker

Photojournalist Colin Mulvany, of the has this nice flash a/v slideshow on an Artificial Eye Maker. From the Spokesman Review:

Ocularist Kim Erickson is an artist. But his pieces don’t hang in museums. In fact, his masterpieces go unnoticed by all but their owners. Erickson, like his father before him, handcrafts plastic prosthetic eyes from his office in downtown Spokane. “My best work is invisible,” he says.
