Blue
Earth Alliance
.blueearth.org/
The link between compelling documentary photography and our collective
motivation to change attitudes, behavior, even policies – is strong.
Eddie Adams’s Pulitzer Prize–winning photograph of a Vietcong
execution in Saigon forever changed how the world viewed the Vietnam
War. Brazilian photojournalist Sebastião Salgado’s images
of the impoverished portray human life with fresh dignity and compassion.
Maintaining this link is central to the mission of Blue Earth Alliance.
Through our support of Photography that Makes a Difference, Blue Earth
Alliance has helped raise almost a million dollars for important issues
often overlooked by traditional media--The Arctic. Global warming. The
loss of open space in Los Angeles. Racism suffered by farmers. Disappearing
traditions of New England fishermen. The role of grandmothers in AIDS-ravaged
Africa.
Our sponsored projects have been at the forefront of issues affecting
contemporary society—John Trotter’s No Agua, No Vida investigates
the Southwest’s limited water resources; Perry Dilbeck’s
Truck Farmers: The Last Harvest chronicles the loss of independent farming;
and Florian Schultz’s Yellowstone to Yukon promotes the unification
of animal migration routes and habitats across international borders.
We work closely with our selected photographers to offer resources and
support including:
Non-profit, fiscal sponsorship for fundraising
Grant-writing consultation
Marketing and PR expertise
Contacts for publishers, galleries and museums
Technical resources like Shooting From the Heart, a BEA-published instructional
book for personal projects
Experienced Advisory Board to answer questions and provide guidance
Our projects are featured in books such as The Living Wild by Art Wolfe,
Arctic National Wildlife Refuge by Subhankar Banerjee, and Life on Earth:
A Journey Through Time by Frans Lanting. The organization has seen more
than a dozen books published, including titles by Blue Earth Alliance
co-founders Natalie Fobes and Phil Borges.

grain enlargement and cameraless prints (called "Rayographs")
-- made by placing objects directly on photographic paper and exposing
them to light. Part of the "Artists of the 20th Century" series
.
Artists
of the 20th Century: Andy Warhol (2004)
Considered by many to be the most influential American artist in the
second half of the 20th century, Andy Warhol used commercial silk-screening
techniques to create identical mass-produced images on canvas, and then
added variations in color to give each print of an edition a different
look. His quirky series of films (many shot at his Manhattan studio
loft called "The Factory") were also influential.

Film Festival. The film follows renowned sculptor Andy Goldsworthy as

work.

Up (1966)
Legendary director Michelangelo Antonioni scores again with this tense
mystery (his first English-speaking film) set in London among the city's
hipster crowd. A popular fashion photographer (David Hemmings) inadvertently

he must journey through the bizarre streets of New York City to reclaim
the pics
Masters
of Photography: Diane Arbus (1972)

illness gave her an empathetic eye with which to capture society's outsiders.
Using Arbus's own words as well as interviews with family, friends and
colleagues, this documentary provides a rare look at one of America's
most acclaimed -- and controversial -- photographers
