RIP Jane Goodall. My all-time favorite photo of Jane by Michael “Nick” Nichols…

Thinking of Cecil Stoughton and his $19.95 plaid coat on this Inauguration Day. Photos by Oliver Atkins...

I missed this sensational picture of the late president Carter lying in state in the Capitol Rotunda by Andrew Harnik. It's a gem of light and composition, and knowingly nods to previous works. Thanks to @patrickwitty.bsky.social's consitently brilliant Substack. substack.com/inbox/post/1...

The Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles looks like a war zone. Outstanding work by Ethan Swope for @apnews.com.

Wonderful tribute in a photographer's way by @patrickwitty.bsky.social The Portraits of President Jimmy Carter open.substack.com/pub/patrickw... #photography #portraits #JimmyCarter

The new TIME features a previously unseen photo of Jimmy Carter by Yousuf Karsh from 1981.

Also, the sweater Lee Harvey Oswald was wearing when Jack Ruby shot him was BLACK, not maroon.

There's a viral tweet kicking around comparing these two photos: Luigi Mangione by Charly Triballeau and Lee Harvey Oswald by Jack Beers. It's a perp walk. That's where the similarities end. patrickwitty.substack.com/p/the-perp-w...

Football photography fans: Celebrate the anniversary of the legendary "Immaculate Reception" with this deep dive into the iconic moment, and others...featuring Harry Cabluck, Al Bello, and @shortlittlekidd.bsky.social patrickwitty.substack.com/p/the-legacy...

Here's my deep dive into perp walk photos, with appearances by Ted Kaczynski, Timothy McVeigh, John Hinckley Jr., Son of Sam (photo by Robert McElroy), and of course Luigi Mangione... patrickwitty.substack.com/p/the-perp-w...

The front pages of today's @wsj.com (huge photo of Luigi Mangione by Mike Nagle) and @nytimes.com (no mention of Luigi Mangione). Bizarre.

Hard to believe José Gaytán's eclipse photo hasn't made it into any "Photos of the Year" galleries. A remarkable moment...

Some great work in the @nytimes.com Year in Pictures, but the photos from Gaza are highly sanitized, lacking the raw reality of war. Here's one of many photos taken by Ali Jadalla that should have been included... www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I've hit a wall...does anyone know who took these photos of Sirhan Sirhan on June 28, 1968? Long shot, I know, but thought I'd try.

Cousin Andy made The New York Times!

Here's the photo the @nytimes.com used with a story about Luigi Mangione's extradition. Again, not a slight on the photographer, Rachel Wisniewski. The editors are choosing not so show his face. I do not understand photography anymore.

The @nytimes.com published a 3000 word article about Luigi Mangione and this is the photo they went with. Bizarre.

The @nytimes.com is deliberately choosing not to show Luigi Mangione's face, just as @kenklippenstein.bsky.social reported. Here’s the photo (by Rachel Wisniewski) they picked for their latest story about Mangione. This is so weird.

San Francisco names street for Associated Press photographer Joe Rosenthal, who captured the iconic Iwo Jima photo mynorthwest.com/4018949/san-...

Behind the scenes photo of Platon by Margo Martin, Trump's Dep Dir of Comms

Platon also made this controversial portrait of President Bill Clinton for Esquire back in 2000—his body language says it all. Imagine the same approach with Trump.

With dramatic events unfolding in Georgia and Syria, those "Best Photos of 2024" lists need updating...photo from Georgia by Daro Sulakauri; photo from Syria by Ugur Yildirim #photojournalism

Bravo @theatlantic.com for including Hatem Khaled's photo from Gaza. None of the other year-end galleries have done so. www.theatlantic.com/photo/2024/1...
