Photographers are historians in many ways, capturing great moments in time, honestly. And Cheryl Dunn’s documentary ‘Everybody Street’ is about NYC photographers like Jamal Shabazz, Boogie, Martha Cooper, Ricky Powell, Bruce Davidson and other artists who have captured iconic images of the last century. But its going to take financial support to get the project complete. Watch below and show your support on Kickstarter.

Instagram has officially become every iPhone user’s favorite app for posting quality photos for their friends and followers to see. Yet, as widespread as the popular app is, there hasn’t been a medium to use Instagram on your regular, everyday computer… until now. Inkstagram (how clever!) allows you to manage, browse, like and comment on Instagram photos from the comfort of your web browser. I’m sure you iPhone users will love having the extra additional access through Inkstagram.

The beta version of Instaprint, a lunchbox-sized device that turns photos modified with the iPhone app Instagram into physical prints.

You photography nerds out there will appreciate this more than the rest of you folks, but the once pre-order only Nikon thermos is now available. If for some reason you have a brand allegiance, Canon is supposed to have on also. Price is set at a reasonable $23. [PDNEDU]

As many of you know, I am a big fan of the new Canon line of cameras that shoot video as well as beautiful photos. In the following video, experience what you can do with a bit of time and talent with one of these cameras. via vimeo

What is your favorite 80s song?
LaDiDaDi by Doug E. Fresh & Slick Rick the Ruler.¬† I just remember when ever it came on the radio, I would stop everything I was doing to listen to it. I had this little black and white radio, that dubbed as a TV tuner and I would search the stations all day between New York’s 107.5 WBLS and 98.7 Kiss FM waiting for the song to come on. One time me and my mom were rushing out the house, LaDiDaDi was on, she turned the radio off for us to leave, and I went completely ape shit. And by the time¬†I got to my little black and white radio and got it to the station… all i heard was “tick tock you dont quit.. Hit it…” I was livid, but I got over it.

Describe the last dream you had.
The last dream I had that I remember was about fish. And we all know what that means… But I don’t think I sleep long enough to dream. I am always awake. I will say that I do have this recurring dream that my photography and graphic design business continues to grow.

Favorite book?
Can’t say that I have a favorite book. But some of my favorite authors include Walter Mosley, Eric Jerome Dickey, Travis Hunter. I just cracked open Stephen King’s “Bag Of Bones.” With a full time job and a side hustle, no telling when I’m gonna finish reading it.

The gadget you can’t live without is
I have three: my Blackberry, one of my 4 Nikons, and my iPod
- I Use my Blackberry to connect to the world
- I use my Nikon to capture the world
- And I use my iPod to escape the world around me

“I don’t even look at it as a book. I look at it as an object,”- Helumut Newton, Vanity Fair

TASCHEN Books celebrates the 10th Anniversary Edition (reprint) of Helmut Newton’s book, Sumo.

Sumo, known as the “Titantic book” due to its size, weight, dimensions and resale price, is a 480-page book which displays Newton’s best work throughout his lifetime. The book established a new archetype for the art monograph genre, and secured a significant place in photo book history. Many call Newton’s work genius because he had a knack for merging fashion and erotica seamlessly.

The 10th Anniversary Edition shares the same DNA as the original record-breaking Limited Edition, which has quintupled in price since its publication in 1999.

Sumo can be purchased in-store or online.
