03.01.2022 !!!! CONGRATS TO CONTACT'S STEPHEN DUPONT !!!! Stephen Dupont, 48, was awarded the prestigious Olivier Rebbot Award for his book Generation AK (Steidel, 2015...) at the 77th Annual Overseas Press Club award dinner, held at the Manadarin Oriental Hotel, in New York City. Generation AK: The Afghanistan Wars 19932012 is a retrospective selection of images of the country where Dupont has covered everything from civil war and the rise of the Taliban in the 1990s, to the launch of Operation Enduring Freedom and the ongoing war on terrorism. Dupont completed much of this work on self-funded trips and as part of one of the last small independent photographic agencies, Contact Press Images, of which he has been a member since 1997. In 2008 he survived a suicide bombing while traveling with an Afghan opium eradication team near Jalalabad. The Olivier Rebbot Award is offered among 22 other awards through the Overseas Press Club of America (OPC). It is presented for the best photographic reporting from abroad in magazines or books. It is named for French photographer Olivier Rebbot who succumbed to wounds he sustained at the hands of a sniper while covering the civil war in El Salvador for Newsweek. Rebbot’s archive is coincidentally represented by Contact Press Images, the agency that represents Dupont. Earlier this year Dupont’s Generation AK won Best Photographic Book in the Picture of the Year International (POYi) awards, annually administered by the University of Missouri School of Journalism. Dupont joins three other Contact Press Images photographer/colleagues who have won the Olivier Rebbot award: David Burnett, Yunghi Kim and Li Zhensheng (with editor Robert Pledge). Burnett won the award an additional year before it was named for the slain Rebbot. see also : http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com

01.01.2022 RESIST by NOOR As we celebrate our 10th anniversary and reaffirm our principles as independent journalists, photographers, filmmakers and artists, NOOR stands w...ith resisters around the world fighting authoritarianism and racism in all forms. We have dedicated our careers to witnessing and contextualizing the most obscene manifestations of state and corporate power from settler colonialism in Palestine to US imperialism in Iraq and Afghanistan, from the forced migration of millions of Syrians, to the decimation of the black community in Chicago. In all parts of the world, we see the plunder of land and resources to serve a privileged few at the expense of us all. We have also witnessed profound and spectacular acts of community organizing, righteous opposition and personal bravery. Our images have been our form of resistance. We create them with a shared respect for the courage and humanity of those fighting to live free and fair lives everywhere. NOOR was started ten years ago so we could take control over our work and become a more radical voice, free of market constraints. We believe that by leveraging the power of the group we can better amplify crucial issues such as our Consequences project, one of the first comprehensive photojournalistic documentations of climate change and its ramifications. As the turn toward authoritarianism in the United States and in Europe poses a threat to human rights everywhere, and journalists in particular, NOOR will also resist. We do this as journalists with an aim to hold power accountable and as individuals with histories and perspectives; our families were refugees, our loved ones, and some of our members, have been imprisoned for their political beliefs. We value dissent. And so on Monday February 6 at 1 pm CET we will share #Resist, a selection of images from across the globe, chosen by each photographer as an inspiration and reminder that resistance takes many forms, each essential and life affirming. We will offer this series, our very first group print sale, to those who want to support our continued efforts. We will donate a share of profits from this sale to the Center for Constitutional Rights, a USA based organization whose mission statement is found on their website. #ResistFundraise #NOOR10th #RiseAndResist #Resistance #NOORinResistance #NOORimages #NOOR
