PERSONAL BLUESiPhone MyselfImposing on myself a challenge by not using my Canon MIIs, or my new baby, the Canon 1Ds Miii, I have resorted to shoot (myself) with my iPhone. Oh boy, am I enjoying it! I've read that the iPhone 5 will be a delight for photography. Can't wait to get it. In fact, there's a sort of iPhone photo movement spearheaded by a stunning Canadian. She, of course, has the power

CLOSE-UP BLUESRetratos flamencos de un alma gitanaMuchos de los retratos pertenecen a figuras seminales de la cultura musical flamenca: Mario Maya, Miguel el Funi, El Chocolate, El Farruco, Carmen Segura, Fernanda Romero o Cristina Hoyos, entre muchos otros. La cámara de Larraín los capta en la intimidad, en poses que el ojo asocia con la cotidianidad, con el diario quehacer de sobrevivir. De

CLOSE-UP BLUESEl personaje fotográficoEn su delicioso ensayo «On Photography», Susan Sontag escribe: «Many people are anxious when they're about to be photographed, not because they fear, as primitives do, being violated but because they fear the camera's disapproval.» No puedo estar más de acuerdo con Sontag, especialmente porque soy yo la más aterrada cuando me toman una foto.

MÚSICA DE CÁMARAEl lente de Tom MarcelloLa fotografía ha estado tan íntimamente ligada a la historia de los jazzistas que es posible hablar de un jazz de imágenes. Fotográfos como Herman Leonard, William Claxton o John Abbott, por mencionar tres referencias generacionales, le han dado al género una mística, un sentido de inmortalidad, una estética. Las fotos de Tom suman gramática a ese lenguaje.

So after 15 years and many attempts to meet in Florida, we finally shook hands yesterday in the Bronx. He came to visit his family, and I took the chance to officially become his press secretary; for Rafa, who's known to his Dominican constituents as Dr. Rafael

ENCUADRESA Chromatic JourneyI'll start by saying this: I'm not a photographer. I'm not in the same way that I don't consider myself a writer. I am merely a reader. I love to read. It makes me happy. It makes me feel important. But I love photography too, and sometime ago I decided to read more about the art of taken flicks —the techniques, the secrets, the ropes of the craft. I've discovered —and

THE NAKED EYEA Lesson from Adam WisneskiI met Adam Wisneski a couple of years ago at the Sun-Sentinel, a daily newspaper in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He was working as an intern photographer and I was trying to find my way out of a dead end job as a copy editor. I had spent almost an entire year learning to become a photographer before I met Adam. He knew I had more questions than talent, but he

THE NAKED EYEOh, La HabanaI’ve been to Havana numerous times. Actually, back in the ‘90s I used to have a small pad in Miramar, and from there I’d walked to streets, meet musicians and just shoot the breeze with beautiful habaneras. But now I’m dying to go with two cameras, just to see what I can capture in the city that's really a strange aesthetic. Amidst the ruins, there’s a beauty to be

THE NAKED EYEA Treat For The EyesBy ELISEO CARDONAChromatic Blues | 04.27.2010My friends Cecilia Reyes and Sandro Bozzolo are two of the most imaginative photographers I know. They may not consider themselves professionals, but in my book they're something much better: artists. Indeed, when they shoot their cameras, even if the subject seems to be meaningless, they turn it into something worth

THE NAKED EYEAnnie's Killer BeautyI never knew that my friend Annie Fernández had killer legs. But now I know. Yet this photo is not only beautiful because of her legs, but because of her shy demeanor, a majesty that comes from within. The regal posture adds enchantment to her sweet spirit. This, of course, is all captured by the photographer Rick Salgado, who I now envy. Great shot. |≡|—ELISEO
