I have decided to take on a couple of the assignments I've given you lately and write you a letter about street photography. I have this one photo that I think about a lot in this context. I took it while I was in Cambodia, where I dealt with the awkwardness of taking pictures of strangers in a way I'd never done before. I'd always been more of a "sneaker," and was shy about approaching people and asking to take their picture, especially when I was clearly a newcomer to the culture, and didn't speak a word of Khmer.
I had mixed results with that approach this time.
So, here's the photo. I took it at the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ta_Prohm">Ta Prohm</a> temple in Siem Reap province.
<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX6BCmUPkq-JXJO_T9yas7qqOsSNpkpH3yPtzHww6tWMeRfR0Q774Q1mYI6ZZbdEwVKnZ4LhVTr0gedjk_btlxauBKOZUqMhlSrX99SbQNgotzagtu-EJNPABHG6sI0A6JmsSCUfdELPfh/s1600/DSC_0079.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX6BCmUPkq-JXJO_T9yas7qqOsSNpkpH3yPtzHww6tWMeRfR0Q774Q1mYI6ZZbdEwVKnZ4LhVTr0gedjk_btlxauBKOZUqMhlSrX99SbQNgotzagtu-EJNPABHG6sI0A6JmsSCUfdELPfh/s400/DSC_0079.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535089940482989554" /></a>
I took this photo with my Nikon 18-200 lens on full zoom. Then I cropped it. This means I was over 200 feet away from this group of performers...but they saw my massive lens and they saw me pointing it at them. And they were - or at least the girl in the middle was - not pleased.
They were performers who danced or posed on demand for money. But I was not offering them money. Though I was trying to capture a "between the shots" scene like the kind Annie Liebovitz described in her series of shots of Nixon leaving the White House, what I'm assuming they saw was me taking from them without offering anything in return. This photo has haunted me for four years, and while I feel guilt when I look at it, I also feel glad that I took it. I'm glad that I caught myself getting caught as the tourist who took without asking. Because, when we are tourists, we are always, at some point, <span style="font-style:italic;">that</span> kind of tourist. I learned by doing what I will not do again.
I also took some "street photography" shots that were happy stories. In this case, I saw this family and wanted to take their picture. When I asked, they were delighted. I took hundreds of shots of this little ham here.

I also "snuck" a picture of these monks, who then followed me and wanted to see the photos. We wound up spending almost an hour trying to talk to each other.

The show, which is free and open to the public, runs through Sept. 25. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. with extended hours until 8 p.m. on Wednesday and 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. on Saturday.<br /> <br />HAMMOND – Nearly everyone today has a cell phone, and many use the device’s built-in camera to capture their environment.<br /> <br />That’s what artist Dale Newkirk of Southeastern Louisiana University observed at last year’s Mardi Gras celebration in New Orleans. And it gave Newkirk, who is the curator for Southeastern’s Contemporary Art Gallery, an idea for an exhibit: Why not display some of those images in the art gallery?<br /> <br />Newkirk solicited submissions from artists, photographers and the general public and received more than 350 images from 200 people around the country. The National Cell Phone Photography Exhibition opens in the Contemporary Art Gallery Thursday (Sept. 9) and runs through Sept. 25.<br /><br />“The new phones today are amazing and can capture some great images,” Newkirk said.<br /><br />Newkirk chose to arrange the photos in a random pattern and deliberately kept the display very minimalistic. “I wanted it to be in a very casual setting,” he said.<br /> <br />The exhibition will be displayed in the gallery, 100 East Stadium, next to Clark Hall. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. with extended hours until 8 p.m. on Wednesday and 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. on Saturday.Alden Joneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06181023955020153625noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5871292303877869280.post-54202504833908128162010-08-26T07:54:00.000-07:002010-08-26T07:57:36.102-07:00Leverett, Mass.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj073GhcszEw3PRwSAE0uuYm1vW2ZJHUtFVrfe3_rnMNnd4UlYSRAwnho5Pnb5Rxci-B2QbqzQ61h5VlUGxOZytaKqjeMHP80-6Bm8TQrkwDy7jYxQWRxwgCGZmooYsonXv1JxBN_vpOBcY/s1600/IMG_1227.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj073GhcszEw3PRwSAE0uuYm1vW2ZJHUtFVrfe3_rnMNnd4UlYSRAwnho5Pnb5Rxci-B2QbqzQ61h5VlUGxOZytaKqjeMHP80-6Bm8TQrkwDy7jYxQWRxwgCGZmooYsonXv1JxBN_vpOBcY/s400/IMG_1227.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509732635129439042" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi4SZiQQ1zfy8Ejz6JtCl52J_oastCCqg2vjUtGqn-XGpe1IwLbMpLRUopQiE7eC5G3Fi_YHADr_99MVA7xrGUwpBtLFGW_HQ7LzAKbLaNXCLjJByEqm73wvj-Asxm2A5ZzgvCFKEUI9Io/s1600/IMG_1226.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi4SZiQQ1zfy8Ejz6JtCl52J_oastCCqg2vjUtGqn-XGpe1IwLbMpLRUopQiE7eC5G3Fi_YHADr_99MVA7xrGUwpBtLFGW_HQ7LzAKbLaNXCLjJByEqm73wvj-Asxm2A5ZzgvCFKEUI9Io/s400/IMG_1226.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509732628133835442" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsOxqgMbL1-26UkWyp5v_vmpNRYbjLsd2BpiAZ0uhv0pAwaW9LHwD8E1v9vL_Qewf2gvzF4RAZfLgxrgteaNVPrImIpObXfyPm0crOaj0N3e9VWzBSOzAiBMW5J5y58z-9o9dPgtxwXSk8/s1600/IMG_1219.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsOxqgMbL1-26UkWyp5v_vmpNRYbjLsd2BpiAZ0uhv0pAwaW9LHwD8E1v9vL_Qewf2gvzF4RAZfLgxrgteaNVPrImIpObXfyPm0crOaj0N3e9VWzBSOzAiBMW5J5y58z-9o9dPgtxwXSk8/s400/IMG_1219.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509732624419774242" /></a><br />A rainy day in Western Mass...Alden Joneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06181023955020153625noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5871292303877869280.post-46453574302783632802010-08-06T06:40:00.000-07:002010-08-06T06:56:40.184-07:00Spring Break: Looking BackHoly Moly! Enough time has passed between this blog post and the last one that it's actually time to be nostalgic about our trip to the Dominican Republic. In that case, here are some wistful shots from our trip. It was kind of a 3rd honeymoon, taken the month before I got pregnant. Thus, it was the last time I had a whole entire glass of wine, which only serves to intensify the nostalgia. We spent a night in Santo Domingo and spent the bulk of our time in Cabarete in a really wonderful eco-tourism hotel with only a handful of cabanas, on-site yoga, and really yummy food. Surfing competitions took place down the beach. It was a heavenly winter escape. I feel nostalgic despite the oppressive heat that has defined Boston Summer 2010.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG23XSZzQ24vynLafpJvbw1sMZ0rjFLoq8eOKqvuV1Nk7b0ifhpdu3bTsH8rcXfykhV2T8bb8RADVTPvCrc_a6S-C9H9kgRDeraJUhvKX_Qh9xAATM-NmUs83iomkRl4wXEknHfmQIfDz2/s1600/DR05.JPG"><img style="display:block;

The subject matter is hinted at in the photograph above, which happens to have been taken during my most recent trip to Costa Rica, where "Sin Alley" takes place.<br /><br />Holding the sign above is the curator Jacob Karpio, who owns the eponymous gallery in San José, Costa Rica. My friend Karina Salguero is a magazine editor in San José. She invited me to come along to Jacob's gallery for a press release breakfast party for the show he curated called LOVE. Back when I lived in Costa Rica as a volunteer teacher 15 years ago, I would have died to have found an arts community like the one Karina is now a part of. During his welcome, Jacob said that he felt Costa Rica's time was here as a nation celebrated not just for its natural beauty, but for its arts and urban culture. Things have changed drastically and quickly in the arts community in San José in recent years. It's flourishing thanks to folks like Jacob.<br /><br />In my writing about Costa Rica and the works by Costa Rican authors I've chosen for translation (mostly fiction by <a href="http://www.inamu.go.cr/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=160:carmen-naranjo&catid=141:galeria-de-la-mujer&Itemid=1521">Carmen Naranjo</a>), I've always tried to take on issues that had nothing to do with the environment, its wildlife, the beaches.

This photo was taken by Emerson College student Rebecca Knell in an alley off the Boston Commons.Alden Joneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06181023955020153625noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5871292303877869280.post-73016460807982549502009-10-19T20:16:00.001-07:002009-10-19T22:04:25.144-07:00Learning is Fun<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZJRsVXvmbF6mXAKAtWAkc1b05Knoc8UBF1ETXM8_hhO0HlropmnGkusoL-6d0zh9U71aE7u0mZx5VBglEKCTNXHR7JGbxVYdZhjkdXQ5KofOZ7tv31HiYvZKDi1xvgS9geYvm0W8X_NmC/s1600-h/LitPhoto01.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZJRsVXvmbF6mXAKAtWAkc1b05Knoc8UBF1ETXM8_hhO0HlropmnGkusoL-6d0zh9U71aE7u0mZx5VBglEKCTNXHR7JGbxVYdZhjkdXQ5KofOZ7tv31HiYvZKDi1xvgS9geYvm0W8X_NmC/s400/LitPhoto01.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394516565580057346" /></a><br />I designed and implemented a new class at Emerson's Institute for Liberal Arts and Interdisciplinary Studies called The Literature of Photography. It's a class of 19 freshmen, about half writing majors and half arts majors. We are reading the usual suspects: Sontag, Barthes, Berger, Calvino. We also write poetry, study and critique narrative photography (what photography isn't, somehow, narrative?), and go into back alleys and take pictures of each other.<br /><br />You can find some of my students' work on <a href="http://litofphoto.tumblr.com/">our Tumblr site</a>. I will continue to brag about them as the semester goes on, I'm sure.Alden Joneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06181023955020153625noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5871292303877869280.post-84834423012391870082009-10-16T15:45:00.001-07:002009-10-19T22:05:18.588-07:00Jess Getting Ready<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpbOrt3Zljeg8AadA0GmGstM8528goCUN2mMp3SPnYUpC7E-EpR5rCxFgVyHte-UJdEn-VXdYeJ8V2IYFczOPhXMH6OPTEdTKud_eeLpLpyQB_d2JeOBxfa48v9GDu5SXU79G7JSPMtQC8/s1600-h/IMG_1819_3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpbOrt3Zljeg8AadA0GmGstM8528goCUN2mMp3SPnYUpC7E-EpR5rCxFgVyHte-UJdEn-VXdYeJ8V2IYFczOPhXMH6OPTEdTKud_eeLpLpyQB_d2JeOBxfa48v9GDu5SXU79G7JSPMtQC8/s400/IMG_1819_3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393411969364621218" /></a><br />I grabbed Kate's camera and became the impromptu photographer for the "getting ready" segment of Jess and Melinda's wedding in Portland, Oregon. I think the camera loves Jess as much as Melinda loves Jess. We had a fun time while Jess got her hair and makeup all settled and got into her dress. Then it was off to the Hoyt Arboretum to meet Mindy and get hitched. It was supposed to rain all day, but it held off completely until the "minister" - our friend Dan, recently ordained with the Universal Church of Life - pronounced Jess and Melinda married. At that very second a light mist dusted the crowd, sparkling like glitter in the still-sunny sky. Try not tearing up when something like THAT happens at a wedding!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFGhgtYFqsbSiDA4UmWBlLf4iilBmVkkGymnRLPXDfctTSfJJqcK3T9lBkeaFRT0i_LxD-ziCqGOjbz9lULTRNTDnPCMC8ElLi9lSUPEoxtD_SQoQC3YBJ05PcnzWBeOKa99bi5p4dQayQ/s1600-h/IMG_1752.JPG"><img style="display:block;
