Photoessay by Delmi Álvarez
Discovering
the Baltics, photographer and buddies arrives to a natural park in the
west side of Estonia. After a long winter, birds fly in all directions
looking for the trees, fishes swing in the quite waters., visitors find
the peace in any corner. A paradise hide to the pollution, that
ornitologists, and estonians scientists are protecting from the dark
and wild side of humans.

A
Photoessay by Sarah Hoskins
 For Sarah
the stars are the animals themselves. "They're just
beautiful, magnificent creatures. I just like being around them. I
don't even know if I can put it into words" so she puts it into
pictures. Her devotion to her subject matter, both equine and human,
rings through her work, and time and again during the interview she
returned to the love that she has for this world. "For me horse racing
encompasses so much; the people who live there and work there; the
animals. I don't really photograph the front side anymore; I'm always
interested in behind-the-scenes, the stuff you don't see. I like making
pictures there. I go to the racetrack, park my car and just walk up and
down the aisles and the barns until I see something that grabs my
attention. I think leg wraps are beautiful; I could do a whole book on
leg wraps."

Letras céntranse no exilio e na emigración no ano de
Lourenzo Varela
[www.vieiros.com-17/05/2005
02:07] Moitos son os actos que hoxe
se desenvolven ao longo e largo de Galiza (e de fóra) para
lembrar a figura do xornalista e poeta do exilio Lourenzo
Varela. A cerimonia oficial, a
da Real Academia,
é á mañá, no concello lugués de
Monterroso, lugar de onde era a familia
de Varela pero onde o poeta só puido vivir un par de anos.
Vieiros
publicou a semana pasada un especial para honrar a súa memoria e
para
chamar a atención sobre a
situación da lingua no estranxeiro. 'A lingua na maleta', que contén tamén fondos de
pantalla de agasallo e un
concurso baseado no conto do
enciño, integra un dicionario
da emigración aberto
á participación dos lectores e lectoras. Tamén o
Consello da Cultura se sumou ao ano de Lourenzo Varela cunha web que analiza a importancia cultural do
noso exilio.

Magnum Photos is a photographic co-operative
of great diversity and distinction owned by its photographer-members.
With powerful individual vision, Magnum photographers chronicle the
world and interpret its peoples, events, issues and personalities.
Through its four editorial offices in New York, London, Paris and
Tokyo, and a network of fifteen
sub-agents, Magnum Photos provides photographs to the press, publishers, advertising,
television, galleries and museums across the world. The Magnum
Photos library is a living archive updated daily with new work from
across the globe. The library houses all the work produced by Magnum
photographers and some special collections by non-members. There are
approximately one million photographs in both print and transparency in
the physical library with 250,000 images available online.

an American soldier had been killed, his comrades went down to the

Within the library, most of
the major world events and personalities from the Spanish Civil War to
the present day are covered. There are constantly updated profiles on
most countries of the world, covering industry, society and people,
places of interest, politics and news events, disasters and conflict.
The Magnum Photos library reflects all aspects of life throughout the
world and the unparalleled sense of vision, imagination and brilliance
of the greatest collective of documentary photographers. In short, when
you picture an iconic image, but can't think who took it or where it
can be found - it probably came from.
Están condenados a
tapar huecos en las informaciones

Los fotoperiodistas "no son
fotógrafos... completan el producto que hacen los periodistas..."
Emails recibidos en PN
Fernando Santiago, presidente reelegido
de la Asociación de la Prensa de
Cádiz (APC) envía a una esquina de las
redacciones a los fotoperiodistas, que para su personal visión,
ellos no son dignos de ser periodistas. Según él el
fotoperiodismo es el último proceso de la cadena de una
información, lo que se conoce como "cubrir huecos". En una
reciente entrevista se confesaba con estas declaraciones :
Diario de
Cádiz: —Entonces, ¿los fotógrafos
no son periodistas?
Fernando Santiago: —No, son
fotógrafos. Existe una asociación de fotógrafos.
Me parece una profesión magnífica. Productores y
cámaras de televisión, infografistas, fotógrafos
completan el producto que hacen los periodistas. Hacen un trabajo fundamental. Es un
oficio dignísimo y necesario. Pero no son periodistas. De todas
formas, la Asociación no determina el acceso a la
profesión ahora...
Para este periodista "iluminado", el trabajo de cientos, miles de
fotoperiodistas del mundo, es el de tapar los "agujeros" que dejan los
redactores literarios (conocidos como plumillas, entre la tribu
periodística) . Según las manifestaciones de este
"periodista de carrera", a los fotoperiodistas de los medios poco menos
que se les dan limosnas para rematar las faenas informativas. Palabras,
que ya han levanatado ampollas, y se han convertido en la piedra en el
zapato de más de uno.

las mil caras de Fraga Iribarne con
Photoshop

¿Deberían rechazar los
Fotoeditores de los diarios
y revistas, una foto de campaña política con certeza de
que está manipulada?
Extractos de e-mails recibidos | otras fuentes
La reciente
aparición de una imagen de campaña electoral de Fraga
Iribarne para las próximas elecciones al Parlamento Gallego, en
junio próximo, ha vuelto a poner el grito en el cielo a los foto
editores, fotoperiodistas y responsables de imagen de los diarios
españoles. ¿Hasta qué punto una imagen
"presuntamente" manipulada digitalmente puede publicarse en los medios
de comunicación? ¿Hay ética en los medios?. Hasta
qué punto se puede engañar a los ciudadanos con
fotografías manipuladas sin la mínima ética.
La Voz de Galicia ha editado un álbum con los ejemplos de
imágenes utilizadas por Fraga durante las pasadas
campañas en Galicia. La Voz, es uno de los diarios en el
país gallego donde más se cuida la imagen
fotoperiodística, ejemplo que deberían seguir el resto de
los diarios gallegos. La falta de la figura del Foto editor en las
redacciones obliga a que los propios redactores hagan la función
de este y se cuelen a diario imágenes que no corresponden con la
información, o que no hagan clara referencia a la misma.
El claro ejemplo de La Voz de Galicia denunciando este uso indebido y
poco ético de imágenes que han sido manipuladas (no se
sabe por quién, pero desde luego muy bien) de algunas de las
"caretas" que Fraga Iribarne ha utilizado en las últimas
campañas con una imagen muy rejuvenecida gracias al lifting de
herramientas como Photoshop, utilizadas a diario por los profesionales
de la imagen, es una realidad de que algo está cambiando en
Galicia. Fraga Iribarne ha ofrecido un video de la sesión
fotográfica, pero de momento no está en internet.
También ha dicho que las fotos han sido hechas por buen
profesional. ¿Quién será? Estamos deseando saber
su nombre.

Living gay in Russia
Meeting in a club
(c) Gary Matoso

Gary Matoso approaches
a small photostory to us of young people gays in Russia.
Until the early 1990's,
homosexuality in Russia was for the most part concealed, both by gay
men and lesbians fearful of persecution, and by government officials
who denied its existence in the USSR. Sex between men was outlawed by
Article 121 of the Russian criminal code, and some gay men and lesbians
were sent to psychiatric institutions to "cure" them of their
proclivities. For homosexuals in the USSR, their lives were anything
but their own.

Galicia, is chaotic", he says, "and many persons and young people goes

Government".Many of the emigrants who went away and want to return to
Galicia find without aids. In next june 19th, the Galicia country has
