Questa è la storia di quattro persone chiamate Ognuno, Qualcuno, Ciascuno e Nessuno. C’era un lavoro importante da fare e Ognuno era sicuro che Qualcuno l’avrebbe fatto. Ciascuno avrebbe potuto farlo, ma Nessuno lo fece. Qualcuno si arrabbiò perchè era un lavoro di Ognuno. Ognuno pensò che Ciascuno poteva farlo, ma Nessuno capì che Ognuno non l’avrebbe fatto. Finì che Ognuno incolpò Qualcuno perchè Nessuno fece ciò che Ciascuno avrebbe potuto fare.

A Palestinian teenager in the West Bank village of Nabi Saleh uses a sling to hurl stones at Israeli soldiers amassing at the bottom of the hill. Every Friday local residents, Israeli activists and international activists gather in the village to stage non-violent demonstrations denouncing the Israeli Occupation and asserting Palestinian human rights. The protesters are met each week with tear gas and other aggressive crowd dispersal tactics, transforming peaceful demonstrations into violent exchanges of stones, rubber bullets and mass arrests.
American photographer Adam Golfer’s images of the West Bank look beyond the hurly burly of one of the world’s intractable conflicts.

So…did Facebook kill the photo blog?Do photographers even want to blog when the quick adrenaline hit of acknowledgement is met so quickly on FB? And even if you feel your ideas are best suited to blogging rather than status updates, its really the audience you can get on FB that is the treasure. That and the tricky systems it uses to wind viewers into your world and spoon feed them your new work…before they even know they are being fed anything! Now that is seductive. Who needs to read an essay? And then there is Tumblr, that can present the work with all of it’s elegance…all the presentation you ever wanted really. Is that the new wordless blog to work with? Should everything shift over to that?
If the photo blogs aren’t dead they certainly are quiet.
Timothy Archibald’s blog post raises a question that I too question myself.
United We Were Strong
The founding fathers of the state of Israel dreamt of building a society united by the bond of the Jewish faith…a project that is really worth being supported!!

![French photographers organization Union des Photographes Professionnels (UPP) launched a controversial new advertising campaign this week, speaking out against the use of photographs without proper permission and/or payment. The ad reads: “Each day, a photographer’s work is used without his consent”. A spokesperson for UPP states,
It’s obvious that professional photographers are not being listened to. So, for the first time, we’re speaking to the photographic community with an image. We hope to raise awareness among the public, as well as the media and the government, about photographers’ problems. Each day, photographers are faced with decreasing rates. They are forced to compete against image libraries that are offering vile prices. These practices are infringing on photographers’ moral rights.
In a blog post, the organization adds, “Each day, photographers risk their lives to allow us to stay informed. And each day, photographers continue to be dealt with as if they weren’t producing anything. […] With this image, we want to show the violent and disrespectful economic reality that photographers have to deal with.”](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2dy6o5uv91r4p6voo1_500.jpg)
