She was selected for her use of the app "as it was intended". Kranitz, a Kentucky native who now lives in California when she’s not traveling, uses Instagram to explore the Appalachian region with intensely personal photographs. In fact, she uses the platform to blur the boundaries of her personal life and professional life.
“I see Instagram as a sketchpad, notebook or diary. It has become a personal archive, a collection of thoughts, moods and feelings,” says Krantiz — echoing the millions of people who use Instagram in the same way.

Back in July, Cafe Art handed out 100 Fujifilm disposable cameras to homeless people in London, connected them to photography training with the Royal Photographic Society, and asked them to shoot photos with the theme “My London.”
80 of the cameras were returned, and over 2,500 photos were developed. 20 photos were then chosen by a selection panel consisting of representatives from Fujifilm, Amateur Photographer, The London Photo Festival, Christie’s and Homeless Link.
Richard Sandler: "Street photography is very difficult. The number of really good pictures that you get is very small in comparison to the number of pictures taken....at best you get a compelling image. When you don’t get good pictures at least you have the experience of having being ‘in the moment’ all day long, and that’s a very good thing… and it’s like any art form: it focuses you.”
Leon was a somewhat contradictory figure. He wasn’t a naive folk artist: He loved photography and the history of photography; he loved to go to museums; he’d studied some as a painter. But on the other hand, he was not an intellectual. He was very unpretentious, deeply down to earth, and quite a loner. And this all fed into his work.

Saul Leiter (born 1923) is an American photographer and painter whose early work in the 1940s and 1950s is a crucial contribution to color street photography.

Documentary photographer extraordinaire Mary Ellen Mark passed away this week at the age of 75.
Her unflinching yet compassionate depictions of prostitutes in Mumbai, homeless teenagers in Seattle and mental patients in a state institution in Oregon made her one of the premier documentary photographers of her generation.
