PDFX12 Photo Documentary folioX12 February 3, 2010
Posted by bohdan.warchomij in : Publishing, Web , add a commentpdfX12 is an online, monthly free photo journal that presents and features a series of photos by various photojournalists living and working in various communities around the world.
These photos tell poignant stories about people who are facing harsh social, economic, environmental and political conditions.
Photojournalists presented here are those, with their own resources and energy, who have chosen to dedicate their life’s work to documenting certain human issues in order to bring about greater attention to harsh human conditions that many people would brush aside. It is thus very important that the voices of these photojournalists, who are living and working in communities that they are documenting, are heard through this type of online venue, which everyone can access.
Originally, we had thought of presenting this online magazine only to a Japanese audience, but now we have broadened it to a worldwide audience. The awareness of various human issues facing humanity is greatly needed in Japan, just as in other parts of the world. Published photos and text will be in English and Japanese. Presented will be high-quality photos with written stories shared by the photojournalists themselves.
what’s reminders project?
The reminders (something or someone to make one remember) project was inaugurated in 2000 as a website and series of photo exhibitions. Reminders is a name that refers simultaneously to the photographer, the subject and the people who see it.
By simply reading a paper or watching the news on TV, people can consider
what is happening elsewhere in the world as somebody else’s business. Even though problems remain unsolved, people forget about the issues very quickly. Or, if an issue does not attract attention in the first place, it is as if nothing happened at all.
The reminders project, however, aims to tell as many people as possible what really happens around the world. We show images taken by photojournalists who understand their subjects deeply and continue to cover issues through their own viewpoints. In addition to covering these stories, The Reminders Project creates slide shows, workshops and both national and international photo exhibitions.
The reminders project has no set agenda as to how and where we present the works created. We also have no requirements on photographers’ nationalities or their experience. But we have two fundamental ideas: to introduce our stories widely and to seek various viewpoints. Our ideal goal is for this project’s stories to endure through time.

Philip Toledano December 6, 2009
Posted by bohdan.warchomij in : Publishing, Web , 1 comment so farThe web can astonish and transform us and our experiences. Benjamin Chesterton on RESOLVE points out why:
Phillip Toledano’s “Days With My Father” is a masterpiece. Its a love letter that has nothing to do with any of us but that is written in such a way that it could have come from the pages of any of our lives. Its a gift and it proves the web can be the best place to experience photography. The experience can be utterly transformative. No more words needed — just check it out.
