    INTRODUCTION A Global Alliance for Open Society The goal of the Soros foundations network throughout the world is to transform closed societies into open ones and to protect and expand the values of existing open societies. In pursuit of this mission, the Open Society Institute (OSI) and the foundations established and supported by George Soros seek to strengthen open society principles and practices against authoritarian regimes and the negative consequences of globalization. The Soros network supports efforts in civil society, education, media, public health, and human and women’s rights, as well as social, legal, and economic reform. 6 SOROS FOUNDATIONS NETWORK | 2001 REPORT Our foundations and programs operate in more than ࡯ national government aid agencies, including the 50 countries in Central and Eastern Europe, the former United States Agency for International Soviet Union, Africa, Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Development (USAID), Britain’s Department for the United States.

Foundations established by George Soros in Hungary, Poland, and the Soviet Union in the 1980s, when communist regimes still ruled those countries, and support that he provided to a few groups in the West working in the Soviet bloc countries contributed to the transformation of the region. In 1989–1991 with the collapse of communism, Soros moved rapidly to help develop civil society in places where it had been silenced or stunted.

  • Street Photography Project Guide
    The Street Photography Project Manual by Eric Kim When I first started shooting street photography, I was very much focused on “single images”. Meaning– I wanted to make these beautiful images (like pearls) that would get a lot of favorites/likes on social media. I wanted each photograph to be perfect, and stand on its own. However after a while shooting these single-images became a bit boring. I felt photography became a way for me to produce “one-hit-wonders” – which didn’t have that much meaning, soul, and personal significance. In trying to find more “meaning” in my photography– I started to study photography books, learning from the masters, and how they were able to craft stories that had a narrative and personal significance. Soon I discovered that I was much more interested in pursuing photography projects– projects that would often take a long time (several years), would require meticulous editing (choosing images) and sequencing, and were personal to me. I wanted to create this book to be a starting guide and a primer in terms of starting your own street photography project. I will try to make this as comprehensive as possible, while still being practical. Here is an overview of some of the chapters I will like to cover: Chapter 1: Why pursue a street photography project? Chapter 2: What makes a great photography project? Chapter 3: How to come up with a street photography project idea? Chapter 4: How to stay motivated when pursuing your photography project Chapter 5: How to edit/sequence your photography project Chapter 6: How to publish your photography project Chapter 7: Conclusion Chapter 1: Why pursue a photography project? Of course we are dealing with street photography– but there are many different reasons to pursue a photography project in general: Reason 1: Photography projects are more personal First of all, one of the main reasons you should pursue a photography project is that you can make it more personal.

  • Dog Food Kopek Mamasi
    DOG FOOD KOPEK MAMASI The bark of the Cynics Photo Symposiums and ESPAS bookstore issue 01 fall 2012 DOG BARKS DOG TRACKS Who were the Cynics? The name Cynic derives from Ancient Greek κυνικός (kynikos), meaning “dog-like”, and κύων (kyôn), meaning “dog” (genitive: kynos). One explanation offered in ancient times for why the Cynics were called dogs was because the first Cynic, Antisthenes, taught in the Cynosar- ges gymnasium at Athens. The word Cynosar- ges means the place of the white dog. It seems certain, however, that the word dog was also thrown at the first Cynics as an insult for their shameless rejection of conventional manners, and their decision to live on the streets. Dioge- nes, in particular, was referred to as the Dog, a distinction he seems to have reveled in, stating that “other dogs bite their enemies, I bite my according to nature requires only the bare necessities friends to save them.” Later Cynics also sought required for existence, and one can become free by to turn the word to their advantage, as a later unshackling oneself from any needs which are the result commentator explained: there are four reasons of convention. Cynics adopted Hercules as their hero, as why the Cynics are so named. First because epitomizing the ideal Cynic.

  • 1 Marketing Your Photography Book
    MARKETING YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY BOOK: THE GOOD AND BAD NEWS Katie L. Wood David Rees, Project Chair ANALYSIS COMPONENT Publishing a book can be the pinnacle of a photographer’s career and a great way to share work at a time when newspapers and magazines are doling out fewer and fewer assignments. However, books are large and expensive projects that can take years to complete. The publishing world is forever changing, making the task of navigating it overwhelming. Bill Marr, former creative director of National Geographic who has helped many photographers edit and design their books says, “The publishing world has become fractured and broken up just like everything else. I think if people want to do books they can, but they are going to have to do a lot more on their own to get there.” THE STATE OF PUBLISHING Before photographer Rick Smolan published his first photography book in 1981, A Day in the Life of Australia, he was told that a book of photography would never sell. He had pitched his idea to over 35 publishers and couldn’t convince anyone to get behind it. Then, on the advice of Australia’s Prime Minister, Smolan began looking for sponsors. After talking to over 200 companies as well as computer innovator Steve Jobs, who he had never heard of at the time, Smolan was able to secure six sponsors to fund his first book. In total, that book sold over 1.2 million copies and opened the door to countless other book projects for Smolan and the company he now runs with his wife, Against All Odds Productions.
