Regards To New Orleans
Shutterbug Staff  |  May 01, 2006

This month's Picture This! assignment is "Regards to New Orleans," and readers responded with images that show why we should all continue to keep the pressure on to rebuild this most unique of American cities. Think how the home countries would respond should Venice, Paris, or any of the great cities of the world be subject to the tragedy that is New Orleans. As...

Extreme Nature; The Photography Of Bill Curtsinger
Rosalind Smith  |  May 01, 2006

"There is something special about the ocean world, a certain allure, like a song that calls to me. I can't really explain this attraction; it's just there; inside--a part of who I am."
--Bill Curtsinger

For Bill Curtsinger, the darkest depths of the Antarctic are like a candy store. "Cold, remote, colorful, and...

Big Difference; When Everyone Else Was Switching To Digital, Andrew Kornylak Was Hauling Medium Format Up The Mountain
Barry Tanenbaum  |  May 01, 2006

In most cases when we talk to climbers who photograph or photographers who climb, we start out by asking which came first, the climbing or the photography. About 75 percent answer the former. Then we ask why they climb. The answer is usually some variation of "it's a thrill." And then, why they photograph, which brings a variation of "to capture the...

On The Road; Monte’s Journey To China—Part II
Monte Zucker  |  May 01, 2006

While the city of Shanghai is a wonder to see, this portrait photographer, on a trip to Shanghai, still looks at faces first.

Their parents were more than happy to cooperate with me. But...

Given this, I decided I wanted to be lucky more often (as luck has it, this is actually possible). Recently I read an article about the science behind luck and how luck is not random, but rather something we...

Leica’s D-Lux 2; It’s The Perfect Vacation Camera—And It’s A Leica
Joe Farace  |  May 01, 2006

Let me begin with a confession. When testing Leica's D-Lux 2 I did something I advise Shutterbug's readers never do: I received the camera on Friday and on Sunday stuck it and the user's guide in my pocket to read on the four-hour flight from Denver to Acapulco, Mexico. Oh, yeah, I charged the battery before I left. It's a testament to this camera's...
