Despite my new-Mommy lifestyle, &lt;a href="http://dodgeburn.blogspot.com/2011/07/off-to-graduate-school-this-fall.html"&gt;enrolling in graduate school for my MFA&lt;/a&gt; and a few personal struggles, I managed to keep this blog afloat with some good content.&lt;br /&gt;

It&amp;#39;s rare that the Black experience in Latin American culture is acknowledged, let a lone documented via photography. In her series &lt;i&gt;African by Legacy, Mexican by Birth&lt;/i&gt;, photographer Ayana V Jackson&amp;#39;s commitment to showing this part of the African Diaspora that has been shoved under the rug, is what drew me to her work. Ayana&amp;#39;s work is opinionated and steeped in the scars left from colonial history without being didactic. Read on to learn more about her journey to becoming a working fine art photographer and her recent experience at Paris Photo 2011.
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b&gt;D&amp;amp;B: Where are you from?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
AVJ: I was born in New Jersey, USA however I live between Johannesburg and New York.
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b&gt;D&amp;amp;B: What kind of photography do you shoot and how did you get started - any &amp;quot;formal&amp;quot; training?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
AVJ: My practice is quite diverse. I began with reportage/documentary in 2001 with projects centered around Contemporary Africa and African Diaspora identity. Via portraiture I created several bodies of work aimed at exposing the complexity of black identity worldwide. From hip hop artists in West Africa to African descendents in Latin America I sought to uncover narratives that are rarely associated with people in the regions I worked in.
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Recently I began creating self portraits. This transition marked the beginning of my studio practice. &amp;quot;Leapfrog (a bit of the other) Grand Matron Army&amp;quot; was the first of that series. In it I present my body in the form of 9 female archetypes from the precolonial to afrochic. The reason for this shift was that I wanted to have a more specific conversation with my work. Maintaining my body as a constant allows my audience to consider my concept and intentionality rather than examine my portraiture via an ethnographic point of view.
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Regarding &amp;quot;formal&amp;quot; training: it is limited to an introductory class during undergrad and a more concentrated study during summer term under Katharina Sieverding at the Universitat der Kunst in Berlin. The latter was quite formative as it was during that time that I learned large format analogue printing and began to study photographic theory.  &lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b&gt;D&amp;amp;B: What cameras or techniques do you use?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
AVJ: I use a YashikaMAT 124G and a Canon 5D.

&lt;b&gt;D&amp;amp;B: How did you get your start in the photography industry? &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
JR: I started working on the picture desk for the &lt;i&gt;Observer&lt;/i&gt; colour supplement in the latter half of the 1980&amp;#39;a after meeting then picture editor June Stanier.  But I had actually been working with photography in an advertising context for a few years before that.  &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
June Stanier was looking for an assistant on her desk and had heard of me from a past colleague of mine at the ad agency.  We met for lunch one day and I agreed to go work as her picture desk assistant. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The move to the picture desk really marked a graduation from the &amp;quot;applied&amp;quot; photography used in advertising to the more profound work of photojournalism and art photography that existed in colour supplements at the time, and that lead to my deeper interest in fine art photography.  &lt;br&gt;

&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0_GYp6iEOUk/Tofq4lE98RI/AAAAAAAABGs/QebBdtnmZRg/s1600/Carroll%2BHarris%2BSimms.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0_GYp6iEOUk/Tofq4lE98RI/AAAAAAAABGs/QebBdtnmZRg/s200/Carroll%2BHarris%2BSimms.JPG" width="140" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
The &lt;a href="http://www.aamdallas.org/"&gt;African American Museum&lt;/a&gt; is the only one of its kind in the Southwestern Region devoted to the preservation and display of African American artistic, cultural and historical materials. It has one of the largest African American Folk Art collections in the United States. 
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Black artists across the nation compete for awards in the categories of Painting, Drawing, Printmaking, Photography and Mixed Media. Winning artwork entries in the various categories have become part of the African American Museum's permanent collection. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Competition is named in recognition of Mr. Simms' outstanding contribution to art and art education. He joined the faculty of Texas Southern University (formerly Texas State University for Negro's) in 1950 and was co-founder of the art department. Professor Simms served on the faculty until 1987. 
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simms developed a unique program of ceramics and sculpture at the University. The body of Terra Cotta Shrine sculptures created by Professor Simms' students represents a distinct contribution to the evolution of Twentieth Century African American sculpture.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Deadline October 22, 2011 - &lt;a href="http://www.aamdallas.org/index-5.php?p=3"&gt;get more info and download the entry from the African American Museum website&lt;/a&gt;.

Whether using film or digital, you can&amp;#39;t get a great image without a unique eye. &lt;a href="http://www.carolsachs.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Photographer Carol Sachs&lt;/a&gt; is yet another example of someone who&amp;#39;s visual perspective on life translates so well through the medium of photography, irrespective of what camera she&amp;#39;s holding.&lt;br&gt;

&lt;b&gt;D&amp;amp;B: Please introduce yourselves and tell us a bit about your backgrounds. (where are you from, where do you live, are you all photographers?)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
DS: I was born and raised in Chicago and currently live in Washington, DC. I&amp;#39;m a photographer and on occasion, a writer.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
KR: I was born and raised in East Palo Alto, a small town of 30,000 in the Bay Area, CA. On July 4, 2010 I made the big move to Brooklyn, NY. I am a self-taught photographer - mostly documentary projects and portraiture in the US as well as abroad in South Africa. I am also a writer completing a series of interviews with NY-based artists like Dread Scott, &lt;a href="http://dodgeburn.blogspot.com/2009/06/photographer-interview-jamel-shabazz.html"&gt;Jamel Shabazz&lt;/a&gt; and Akintola Hanif.  Last, but certainly not least, I am a high school world history teacher in Crown Heights, Brooklyn.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
AM: I&amp;#39;m originally from Roselle, NJ but call the DC metro area home (for  now). I stumbled upon 35mm photography in 2001 and have been utterly obsessed since. I&amp;#39;m also a writer, Associate Editor of &lt;i&gt; Recipes for Good Living Magazine&lt;/i&gt; and a Graphic Designer when I find the time. &lt;br&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Tom asked if I would participate in fototazo's "f100" series.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here's a description of the series: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;fototazo has asked a group of 50 curators, gallery owners, blog writers, photographers, academics and others actively engaged in photography to pick two photographers that deserve (more) recognition - the under known, the under-respected as well as not-appreciated-enough favorites.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am honored to be amongst the 50 asked to participate and would like to share with you &lt;a href="http://www.fototazo.com/2011/08/f100-camille-seaman-annu-palakunnathu.html"&gt;my 2 "fototazo f100" picks of photographers deserving more recognition&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Here Marc let&amp;#39;s &lt;i&gt;Dodge &amp;amp; Burn&lt;/i&gt; pick his brain, sharing his personal journey on how he came to work in photography, sound advice for photographers and what he thinks great photo work should do. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b&gt;D&amp;amp;B: How did you get started in your career within the photo industry? &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
MP: My start in photography happened unexpectedly. I graduated from university with a major in International Policy Studies and Japanese language. With an interest in photography, sure, but without real ambition in that direction. I had taken a few years amateur courses at a cultural centre in Groningen, the Netherlands, but was not a very talented student.&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
Seemingly frozen in time, each portrait captures the natural, uncorrupted beauty of Nadirah&amp;#39;s subjects.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
There&amp;#39;s an innate sensuality in Nadirah&amp;#39;s photographs and I think your eyes too will be seduced. Follow &lt;a href="http://www.twitter.com/nadirahzakariya" target="_blank"&gt;Nadirah Zakariya on Twitter&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href="http://www.canpakes.tumblr.com/" target="_blank"&gt;read her blog&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b&gt;D&amp;amp;B: Where are you from? &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
NZ: Born in Malaysia, I had a childhood in Texas, bravely struggled through adolescence in Kuala Lumpur, found my path in Japan, and realized myself in New York. A lot of my work revolves around the theme of the absence of the concept of home.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b&gt;D&amp;amp;B: What kind of photography do you shoot and how did you get started - any &amp;quot;formal&amp;quot; training?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
NZ: I photograph mainly portraiture, especially of women and children. I do have a BFA in Photography.&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
Following 11 years of corporate work in the web production and digital marketing fields, I&amp;#39;m FINALLY going back to school to get my MFA in Photography! Having been accepted to all the schools I applied to, my choice was the &lt;a href="http://www.icp.org/school/icp-bard-mfa"&gt;ICP-Bard MFA in Advanced Photographic Studies&lt;/a&gt; program. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Sometimes life gives you many chances. It&amp;#39;s just a matter of one being able to see and have the courage to take them. After experiencing 2 layoffs from work in less than 10 months, I decided to &lt;i&gt;live&lt;/i&gt; my dream of pursuing a graduate degree - something I&amp;#39;ve (day)dreamed about since finishing college in 1999.&lt;br&gt;

Photographer &lt;a href="http://www.roxanatakesphotos.com/"&gt;Roxana Marroquin&lt;/a&gt; pulled out a stack of &lt;a href="http://unblinkingeye.com/Articles/Lith/lith.html"&gt;Lith prints&lt;/a&gt; that combined images shot on black &amp;amp; white film with photograms.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
These images (as seen below) were haunting and dream-like, leaving us all with our jaws dropped in awe and admiration.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b&gt;D&amp;amp;B: Where are you from?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
RM: I&amp;#39;m originally from El Salvador in Central America. I moved to the United States when I was 8.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b&gt;D&amp;amp;B: What kind of photography do you shoot and how did you get started - any &amp;quot;formal&amp;quot; training?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
RM: I consider myself a fine art photographer and I do work about my own experience: such as being displaced as a child, my migrant experience, my own psyche, my body, and the experiences of being a woman. My photographs begin with self portraits or from Nature, which then I explore and develop further until I find some truth about myself that is also universal.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
My training began in college, in my Junior year when I took my first photography class and I fell in love. I have a BA in Photography from New Jersey City University.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;From the series, &lt;i&gt;Realm of Shadows&lt;/i&gt; by Roxana Marroquin&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;b&gt;D&amp;amp;B: What cameras or techniques do you use?&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
RM: My cameras and techniques are still very traditional and vary from project to project. I have worked with Polaroids, 35mm SLR&amp;#39;s, large format, medium format, and my favorite - the Holga! &lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-k8Uykn7lCOM/Th0BOQHbdfI/AAAAAAAAA9I/9TYvYksm3Jo/s1600/Historypin-Museum-City-of-New-York.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-k8Uykn7lCOM/Th0BOQHbdfI/AAAAAAAAA9I/9TYvYksm3Jo/s640/Historypin-Museum-City-of-New-York.jpg" width="426"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;
The Museum of the City of New York was a great venue for the site&amp;#39;s launch as the museum recently launched a historical &lt;a href="http://collections.mcny.org/"&gt;online photography archive&lt;/a&gt; including work by notables like Jacob Riis and Bernice Abbott. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The concept of Historypin is inspired by the boxes of old photographs that most of us have in our family archives. To realize their philosophy of creating a shared history of the world, the  folks at Historypin invite you to upload your own photos and other  content (audio, video) captioned with your personal stories.&lt;br&gt;

&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;Photographer &lt;a href="http://www.magnumphotos.com/Archive/C.aspx?VP=XSpecific_MAG.PhotographerDetail_VPage&amp;amp;l1=0&amp;amp;pid=2K7O3R133SSV&amp;amp;nm=Eli%20Reed"&gt;Eli Reed&lt;/a&gt; is interviewed by Wayne Lawrence in the "Heroes &amp;amp; Mentors" feature in &lt;a href="http://www.pdnonline.com/pdn/features/PDN-August-2011-3147.shtml"&gt;August 2011 issue of &lt;i&gt;PDN&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the interview, Reed discusses his seminal book &lt;i&gt;Black in America&lt;/i&gt;, his friendship with film director John Singleton, becoming the first African-American member of Magnum and more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most importantly, Reed had this to say to minority photographers:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"One thing you have to do is not get distracted by the bullshit, by the racism or ageism or any of that crap. If you get deterred from the direction in which you're going, the other side has already managed to throw you off stride. Over and over again, the best thing is to do the god-damn work."&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stellar advice from a photographer who's broken the color barrier with his exceptional photographic work!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
Oh, if only all photo books were such a bargain! &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
I&amp;#39;m an Amazon junkie and in between ordering the latest box of diapers for my son, I peruse their photo books - adding to my Wish List in hopes that someone will send them to me as gifts... &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Recently I realized (took me long enough!) that I could buy used copies at a fraction of the cost. This will certainly drive me to become a photo book collector.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Arriving this week about a subject near and dear to my heart (diversity in photography history) is &lt;i&gt;Photography&amp;#39;s Other Histories&lt;/i&gt;, edited by Christopher Pinney and Nicolas Peterson.&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b&gt;D&amp;amp;B: Why did you decide to remain with &lt;i&gt;The New York Times&lt;/i&gt; for this long?&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
CH: The NYT is the most influential newspaper in the world. Working at the NYT offers me the daily opportunity to exercise my eyes with each new assignment. It gives me a unique window into the various levels of our society. I love my job. The constancy of having such a job gives me the financial freedom to save and do the research necessary to execute my personal projects.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Copyright Chester Higgins, Jr.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Q. What advice do you have to give on the business side of photography to aspiring photographers? &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
CH: I believe that in order to make a living as a photographer, you must see yourself as a business. Your skill is your eye. Your product is your images. In order to make money, you have to find your market. That means finding who or what entity is willing to pay you for your skill; there is immense competition so you need to do something to stand out from the crowd. Finally, there is the issue of getting paid. This requires more skills: knowing how to make an invoice and calculating what you think your labor is worth as well as your expenses.&lt;br&gt;

&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;After being held for 80 days without charge, &lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/24/world/asia/24china.html"&gt;Chinese artist Ai Weiwei was freed yesterday&lt;/a&gt; and the world will now watch the next steps of this notorious government critic. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Before Ai Weiwei became internationally recognized as an artist and activist, he lived in a tiny apartment in New York&amp;#39;s East Village, and was a prominent member of a community of expatriate Chinese artists and intellectuals in the neighborhood&amp;#39;s then burgeoning avant-garde scene.&lt;br&gt;

On June 22 1948, former troopship the Empire Windrush docked in the port of Tilbury, Essex with nearly 500 passengers, mostly from Jamaica, on board. The arrival of the ship marked the beginning of large-scale West Indian immigration to Britain, changing the country's social landscape forever.&lt;br /&gt;
