With time spent away from looking at it, I’ve grown even more appreciation for the book, All Callouts is Mandatory. We’re well aware that after our review of it, we know photographers wanted it. Steve has been hard at work finishing it up, and didn’t expect so much interest. But it’s available to order, and photographers can grab a copy as they wish.

We’ve got a Contax 45mm f2 converted to Leica M Mount — and we’re giving it away to one lucky subscriber in our giveaway that’s available exclusively to our members. When we reviewed it, we said that it’s …
Photographer Olivia Arthur made this image back in 2011 while photographing in India. She was documenting an attack on a village and then a religious ritual. She was shooting with a film camera and realized at a point that the film should’ve come to an end. Instead, she had been shooting photos over one another on the sale roll of film. We might call this a happy accident, but it can also be looked at as a statement piece. It’s part of the current Magnum Square Print Sale, too.
“4. “I often go out without any particular idea [in mind]…,” says photographer Miguel A. S. to the Phoblographer in an interview. “I am led by the streets of Elche, my city. My routine is walking and trying to find some interesting scene where something could happen.” Miguel’s work is a fascinating blend of contrast, color, and moment — which is why he’s so well recognized in the Hardcore Street Photography Flickr group. And after shooting for 10 years, he’s refined the street photography work he captures into something very unique.
“I photographed twice the picture with the same frame and positions,” says photographer Sacha Goldberger to the Phoblographer in an interview. “Then we integrated the parts into the X-ray of the glasses. It’s a technical feat.” Sacha considers this to be a satire on consumer society. Specifically, he’s pointing at the fact that we want everything now — and he was on a mission to denounce that.

The Phoblographer has been really big on authenticity since the start. As we’ve demonstrated in several of our interviews, we work with photographers to prove that their images are truly made by them. Indeed, we put human photography first and push for things to be as authentic as possible. In our reviews, we even have sections where we clearly state what images have been edited and which are straight out of the camera. With all this in mind, the Phoblographer is now incredibly hyped to state that we’re one of the latest members of the Content Authenticity Initiative first started by Adobe.
Deep inside of me, there’s a photographer crying. He misses the days when cameras were meant for photographers first and not for a blanket marketing term like Content Creator. My parents, toxic colleagues, and my teachers would’ve told me to scream at this inner photographer and tell him to man up. But I’m not like them. Instead, each day, I throw my arms around that photographer. Not because I need to prove a point. Nor is it because I have to be better. And it surely isn’t because I needed to heal a part of me. I hold that photographer because he was crying — and recently I’ve whispered to him that it might be too late for the Sony R1XR Mk III.
