‘This is not the profession for someone who enjoys a routine. Truth be told some days are quite boring. Other days are amazing. Some days are filled with love. A few are terrifying and a significant number are mired in sadness, or tragedy. Some days are like a dream where you feel extremely lucky to be doing what you love. This job exposes one to the entire range of our humanity.’

Mario Tama discusses the daily experience of photojournalist, how he preps for an assignment, and the one story that he feels most connected to. Also, why he sometimes steps out of the digital world to tell stories using a tiny film camera. Read more on Lomography

The News Photographers Association of Canada interviewed Ian Willms, a Reportage Emerging Talent, about his project “As Long as the Sun Shines,” which won a judge’s special recognition in this year’s POYi.

I came into this story thinking I’d do a photo essay on rising cancer rates in towns near the Oil Sands. But it has since become much more than that. I now see this work as being about a vanishing culture and that’s tied to a vanishing environment. This situation is a continuation of a long and painful history of abuses of the First Nations within Canada.

We’ve been charmed by these early photos of Goldie Hawn, captured between 1960 and 1965, before fame hit, big time.

She’s shown in her native Washington D.C/ Maryland environs; teaching ballet and learning music from her father, a bandleader.

Photographer Joseph Klipple catches Goldie mid-blossom as self-consciousness fades and she learns to balance grace with her characteristic sense of humor.

“As we come round a bend, we are surprised as we come across 30-40 people lying face down on the ground, with their hands on their heads. It’s already too late, we have walked right into an ambush. Heavily armed men in military uniforms stop our vehicle, and throw us to the ground with the rest. I am wearing the full hijab, or abaya. I am afraid, very afraid. I don’t think they have seen me properly yet. Here, in these Malian lands, I would be worth a lot of money as a hostage… I think of my daughter. What was I thinking coming here?”

Read more of Veronique De Viguerie’s account of photographing the recent conflict in Mali in the latest Reportage Journal.

Caption: Boni, Mali - January 21: A group of refugees ambushed in the no man’s land between Mali and Burkina Faso. A group of heavily armed hooded men in military uniform forced them from their vehicles, and forced them to the ground. The perpetrators emptied the refugees’ bags and stole everything of value.

As Circuit de Catalunya prepares to host the F1 Spanish Grand Prix this weekend, here is one of the most memorable moments from the track’s history.

In 1991, Ayrton Senna and Nigel Mansell went down wheel to wheel on the main straight while fighting for the second place, with Mansell eventually overtaking Senna and ultimately winning the race itself.
