Al Bello's photograph of a springboard diver entering the water is one of many great pictures being auctioned for the Chris Hondros Fund Benefit. Bidding ends tonight. See more prints in the auction here: http://paddle8.com/auctions/chrishondrosfund
The Chris Hondros Fund was founded in honor of the Getty Images photographer who died on assignment in Misurata, Libya, in 2011. Chris had covered many of the world's conflicts since the late 1990s, including the wars in Kosovo, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Afghanistan and Iraq. The fund seeks to raise awareness about the work of photojournalists through lecture series, exhibitions and grants.

Prisons are Venezuela's shame: filthy, overcrowded and lawless. Many are run by inmates, who impose a brutal control on the chaos. An exclusive look behind the prison walls by Sebastián Liste.

'The whole story was shot in about an hour and a half without any research as it was not part of my initial assignment nor did we have plans to go there. What is very interesting is that nobody cared, was interested in or published the main story I was sent by UNICEF in Kenya to take - the street child program. That story took me days to photograph but everybody published the Kenya Pumwani Maternity Ward feature that was shot just in an hour and a half, because of the topic, the intimacy and the pictures themselves.'

'I've tried to look at a lot of women's issues, because I can. I can get better access than a man can…In countries where females are abused, where there's a lack of human rights overall, they definitely reach out to other females. Why? Because they know I care. I'm there not trying to just photograph the situation, I'm there because I care about the story.'
Paula Bronstein talks with Australia's ABC radio about her work as a photographer and how she connects with her subjects. Listen to the full interview here.

Turkish police fired teargas and water cannon at demonstrators on Saturday as Istanbul was engulfed by a second day of protests. The unrest stems from a protest earlier this week over plans to turn the city's Gezi park into a shopping mall, but the demonstrations appear to have transcended that issue, becoming a general rebuke of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his party.
Reportage photographers Ed Ou and Antonio Bolfo have been in Istanbul photographing the protests. See more of their work on the Getty Images Web site, here and here.

1968 – Japanese Photography
In 1968, Japan like the rest of the world was in a state of change. In America, Martin Luther King and Robert F. Kennedy had been assassinated, it was the year of Prague Spring in Poland, massive strikes in France, and Japan was in the midst of this global political debate.
In photography, the year was also a period of transformation in the conventional limits and boundaries of how the medium was used and perceived.
"1968 – Japanese Photography" shows four symbolic photographic events: the exhibition "A Century of Photography" in 1968, the legendary magazine "Provoke: Provocative Materials for Thought" by Takuma Nakahara, Koji Taki, Daido Moriyama and others, the new trend of "Konpora (contemporary) photography", and pictures of riots protesting to U.S.-Japan security treaty, which were photographed by the demonstrating strikers themselves. This exhibition traces how the framework of what we understand as photography in Japan was being transformed, and was trying to transform society, in the years 1966 to 1974, with 1968 as the critical focus.
Ryuhei Kaneko, Curator at the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography, was a university student in during the diastrophism of both of society and photography when he was an university student, and wanted to feel the massive upheavals of the time though this exhibition. 1968 is a worldwide moment of convergence amidst cultural tectonic shifts; to consider this era is to question what is photography? What is Japan? What is modern?
The exhibition is on view through July 15th at Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography.

W. Eugene Smith Grants
The W. Eugene Smith Memorial Fund has announced a call for entries for this year's $30,000 W. Eugene Smith Grant for Humanistic Photography and the $5,000 Howard Chapnick Grant. Established in 1979 in honor of W. Eugene Smith (1918-1978), the legendary American photo essayist, the Smith grant is given to a photographer who demonstrates an exemplary commitment to documenting the human condition in the spirit of Smith's humanistic photography. Last year's winner was Magnum photographer Peter Van Agtmael and his project "Disco Night September 11," which focused on the lasting impact of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan back in the United States.
The Howard Chapnick Grant encourages and supports leadership in fields ancillary to photojournalism, such as editing, research, education, and management.

The New York Times Lens Blog showcases photos of young Iranian women by Kiana Hayeri, a Reportage Emerging Talent. Originally from Iran, Kiana moved to Canada when she was 17, where she studied at Ryerson University in Toronto. Her subjects for this project were not so different from herself:
"I think for all these girls, the families sent them away for exactly the same reason that my family did: for a better future, for more safety, more educational options," Ms. Hayeri said. "Hoping for a better future."
Their experiences have been quite different.
Parmida moved with her family to California to study ballet, which was illegal in Iran. Not only couldn't she perform, but ballet classes have to be run sort of underground," Ms. Hayeri said. In the United States, Parmida has continued her ballet lessons and has started ballroom dancing.
See more from this series on the Lens blog, and more of Kiana's previous work on the Reportage Web site.

If you liked Reportage Journal Issue #2, which we debuted last month, you'll love the prequel: Reportage Journal Issue #1. We released a print version of the magazine late last year and have now published it online. Among the work it showcases is that of Reportage contributor Thomas Peschak, who looked a threats to manta ray populations near the Maldives. He finds that overfishing and the trade in gill rakers for traditional Chinese medicines pushed mantas to the brink of extinction in many of our planet's marine realms.
The issue also features Sebastian Liste's "Urban Quilombo" project, Jonathan Torgovnik's report on Haiti's recovery from the 2010 earthquake, and more. See the full online Journal here.

"The slums near Manila Bay are unhealthy enough—the Ulingans live next to a rubbish dump," writes Reportage photographer Lisa Wiltse. "But the rudimentary process of making charcoal in open pits next to the dump site exposes the squatters to even more harmful emissions such as carbon monoxide, nitrous oxide, and soot, as well as chemicals from burning treated wood."
This is the subject of Lisa's project, "Charcoal Kids," which helped her earn this year's Marty Forscher Fellowship Fund for an emerging professional, awarded by PDN and Parsons School for Design. Lisa is a documentary photographer who emphasizes socially disadvantaged communities and ways of living. She has traveled extensively, focusing on documenting everyday life of marginalized people in countries like Bangladesh, Uganda, the Philippines, Bolivia, New Zealand and the U.S. She lives in New York City. See more of her work on the Reportage Web site.

nprradiopictures: Pete Pin was born in Khao-I-dang, a refugee...
Pete Pin was born in Khao-I-dang, a refugee camp on the border of Cambodia and Thailand. Fleeing the infamous "killing fields" of Cambodia during the Khmer Rouge regime, his family eventually resettled in Stockton, Calif., in the mid-1980s. What started with a single portrait of his grandmother has evolved into a deeply personal project that aims to explore the Cambodian diaspora.
His grandmother survived Pol Pot and the killing fields, and after having her portrait taken in 2010, she unexpectedly felt compelled to share her story. "I felt that my camera created this safe place that enabled the conversation to happen," says Pin. "The stories that my grandmother told me explained a lot about my family."
Pin is hoping to reach older Cambodians, but also younger generations who may not be familiar with their family's history and experiences under Khmer Rouge. His goal is to use photography to create an open dialogue within the Cambodian community.

The Future of Britain
Reportage photographer Peter Dench is collaborating with the media agency OMD UK on a project they're calling "The Future of Britain," a visual record of modern British life. Over the next six months, he will be traversing the country to capture the behaviors and attitudes of a changing society. He hopes to build a visual archive of how people live; where they shop; where they vacation; and what concerns them most.
UK residents have the chance to get directly involved: Peter is inviting suggestions to photograph in YOUR town, home, workspace, party, club, event or even join you on holiday for a day. If you have something interesting to share about living life in modern Britain, let him know. The Future of Britain is in Dench's hands, let's hope they're a safe pair. You can contact him at peter@peterdench.com or tweet to him @peterdench.
Follow his progress on the OMD UK Web site, where he's begun posting images on prom night, the new age of communication, and more: http://futureofbritain.com/gallery
Peter's keen observations of human nature, particularly of the quirky sort, were previously on display in his book "England Uncensored," which was published last year. This month it was named one of the best photography books of 2012 in PDN Magazine's Photo Annual.
