picturedept: Hello World PICTURE DEPT is a new venue for photography presented by the award-winning Newsweek & The Daily Beast photo teams. As photo sharing has exploded online with services like Instagram, Tumblr, Facebook, and others, there has never been more content available for viewing. But as more great, new photography venues are created, it is increasingly hard to keep up with the seemingly endless stream—and to find the very best of what’s out there. PICTURE DEPT is designed to both filter and condense this information into a single resource. The site includes curated photo features and recommendations of the best of what is happening in photography—not just from Newsweek & The Daily Beast but also from Tumblr, around the Web, and the world beyond the computer screen. About the name: When we decided to create a photo Tumblr, we turned to the amazing Newsweek archives for inspiration, and there we discovered a battered metal box that contained hundreds of faded yellow 4 x 6 note cards. On each card was the date of an issue of the magazine and the complete listing of its photo spreads. And they were all titled “PICTURE DEPT”, the original moniker of the photo department. The cards ranged in date from the 1930’s - 1970’s and reminded us of the amazing legacy of the magazine. So we decided to resurrect Picture Dept for the 21st century.  Awesome. This is going to be great, in the spirit of the Lively Morgue, but with even more community engagement. Congrats guys!

razistan: Rahim Omer, 29, a shop-keeper whose shop was burned down after he refused to share half of his income with the police. Photo: Mikhail Galustov The war in Afghanistan is not over. Help us tell the story.  Razistan.org — which means “land of secrets” — was started by a group of photojournalists, a writer at the NYT Magazine, and an entrepreneur, to bring awareness to the ongoing devastation in Afghanistan, even as the mainstream media loses interest. With a number of photographers on the ground in Kabul and elsewhere, they will be posting photo essays and documentary portraits weekly. Stay tuned for more.

californiawatch: A photograph from the new book “Valley of Shadows and Dreams” by Ken and Melanie Light. The two spent five-years documenting farm workers’ daily experiences in California’s Central Valley. See more images and learn more about their project here.  This project is amazing. (And was part of a Newsweek.com package that was nominated for a digital ASME.) Congrats!

usnatarchives: Just 13 days until the online release of the 1940 Census! The original caption reads:”New York City’s Sixth Avenue elevated railway and the crowded street below, ca. 1940.” According the U.S. Census Bureau, the population of New York City was 7.5 million in 1940, making NYC the most populous city at that time. It remains at the top even today, with the 2010 census showing over 8 million inhabitants. On Saturday March 24 in New York City, you can get ready for the 1940 Census with expert guest speakers, including our own Connie Potter and Dr. Groves of the U.S. Census Bureau. The program is free but requires registration.
