"Spirituality is often an underlying force in his photographs"

JAMES ESTRIN, NY Times Senior Staff Photographer and Co-Editor of NY Times "LENS", started at The Times back in 1987. He was part of the team that won a Pulitzer Prize in 2001 for the series “How Race is Lived in America.” In 2004, he was the first journalist to photograph an assisted suicide in Oregon, an event which he documented through articles, photographs and an audio slide show. Internationally, he has covered the Israeli-Palestinian conflict several times and chronicled the journey of Mexican immigrants who shuttle between their lives in the United States and Mexico. Estrin was the moving force behind Lens, The Times's photography blog, and has been a co-editor since it went online in May 2009.

PHOTOVILLE: Pete Brook's Depository of Unwanted Photographs (TDOUP)

The Depository Of Unwanted Photographs 

Conceived by Pete Brook | Produced by United Photo Industries

The question “What is your best photo?” is not an unusual one. When asked to pick out a single image they absolutely treasure, people generally don’t hesitate. A snap of their children, a Polaroid of their parents, a formal pose from precious life event, or perhaps even a photograph with the prescribed artistic balance of composition, contrast and exposure; or dictated by emotional memory or technical concerns.

But what about the question, “What is your worst photo?” To put it another way, what photograph of yours is obsolete, worthless, old news or just plain bad? Which single photograph of yours would you like to officially state on the record as unwanted?

Photoville invites you to submit one of your photos to The Depository of Unwanted Photographs, a crowdsourced archive of images and stories. During Photoville, we will welcome walk-in submissions at The Depository Of Unwanted Photographs container which will be equipped with a scanner and computer to download, copy and catalogue your printed photographs and digital files. During Photoville, submissions will be rotated in and out of display for public viewing. When the festival ends, the Photoville team will compile the images and create a reference book of “Unwanted Photographs”.

Officially TDOUP / I Broke Pete's Rule "No Dogs"

Having recently purged my iPhoto Library to gain GB's (except for a few "choice" published images) I didn't have much to submit to Pete's brilliant project except one of way too many photos of my dogs - officially declared TDOUP for breaking Pete's rule "No dog photographs".
