The guy who took the iconic picture of the Iranian protests, Amir, is now on friendfeed. His site has now been banned in Iran. More: - http://tehranlive.org/2009...

Amir's friendfeed account is http://friendfeed.com/amirpix -- his photography reminds me of one quote I remember from my photojournalism classes at San Jose State University: "If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough." That quote was from Robert Capa, here's an article in Time Magazine about Capa: http://www.time.com/time...

This image is iconic. I've looked at thousands of images from Saturday. It is the best one out of all the images of the Iranian elections and if it doesn't win the Pulitzer Prize it'll be a damn injustice.
- Robert Scoble
Thanks for keeping up on this Robert. Great Job!
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
I don't remember being able to talk to the photographer who has made a historic image within hours of the image being made. Another small way our world has changed.
- Robert Scoble
Pretty incredible how fast it changes and how fast it all works
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
makes the news far more real watching it unfold in real time
- Roger Oldham
He shot quite a bit of video too, which is on his friendfeed account. I hope that he eventually can tell us more about the context of this image. What was going through his mind as he pressed the shutter.
- Robert Scoble
I can't wait until his image joins these other Pulitzer Prize winners: http://www.newseum.org/exhibit... -- if you ever are in Washington DC, this is a must-visit exhibit at the Newseum, by the way. They have every Pulitzer-prize winning photos with the stories from the photographers of how the images were made.
- Robert Scoble
So awesome we're able to get this kind of coverage and intimate ambiency with news & newsmakers. Never would get this the traditional way.
- phil baumann
I just hope he's safe with all the eyes that are on him. They blocked his site, but he has unblocked our sight of what is happening there.
- Californian
it's re-sensitizing for a world which had become numb to the impact of dramatic news breaking
- Roger Oldham
I hope Amir comes out of this OK. Iran has banned his site, and the government there isn't friendly to those who do real journalism. I hope someday to meet Amir and go on a photowalk with him. He does great work.
- Robert Scoble
For kids studying journalism in college, right now must be an exciting time.
- phil baumann
I like the image and its a strong representation of the moment but I wouldn't be too hasty in giving it iconic status. This story is still playing out and no one knows where it'll end and Amir and others covering this on the ground might well come out with Iran's "Tank Man" or "Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima" before its over. I hate to play devil's advocate but I felt it was too early to be calling this. I just hope he stays safe whilst covering this story
- Jon Dillon
it's amazing how powerful a single photo can be.
- Chris Pugh
Jon: sorry, but you're wrong. This is an image akin to the guy standing in front of the tanks in Tianenmen Square (which also won a Pulitzer). I knew immediately when I first saw that image that it would be the one that history remembers from that day. This is the image that history will remember from Saturday. If there's another image that's better, well, then two Pulitzers should be handed out.
- Robert Scoble
@Jon - I'd respectfully disagree. Even if you take this photo out of context (if you don't know the situation), this is one, lone woman, raising a flag against a host of riot police descending on her. That alone is an amazingly powerful moment, quite possibly iconic.
- Jennifer Dittrich
All the photos on the blog post of his are fascinating ... talk about live news coverage
- Violet Bliss Dietz
whoops ... here's the blog post url http://tehranlive.org/2009...
- Violet Bliss Dietz
BTW: Boston.com's The Big Picture has tons of great photos from the day too: http://www.boston.com/bigpict... -- wonderful examples of photojournalism.
- Robert Scoble
But none of Boston.com's examples come close to the power of Amir's photo, although several are gripping and several deserve Pulitzer status as well.

I was also rather surprised hearing Kaddafi during his visit to Italy say "Women are like a piece of furniture you can change when you want and nobody will ever question why you did so". (http://news.ninemsn.com.au/world...) I think we are seeing history in the making.
- Michele Costabile
Are you sure she's alone and not just standing out it front? I'm watching images stream in live on the AFP photo wire and there's a ton of very strong shots from Saturday that also define the moment. I didn't want to be seen to be putting this shot down its just when I think of iconic images its usually an image that represents the event not just a facet of an event. Personally I don't think this one is in the same league as Tank Man but time could prove me wrong.
- Jon Dillon
These pictures are unbelievable - thanks for sharing Robert!
- Ryan Kelly
Robert: will forward this information along, great find. Thanks for tracking this down.
- Mark Essel
Michele: Iran's treatment of women is why Amir's image has even more power than most of those on Boston.com's site and other places. It combines women's struggles with those of the struggles to get a democracy. Ryan: thanks, it is an incredible story and we're lucky that so many great photographers were there to make images. It's an interesting time in our lives, too, when technology helps us not just see history but have conversations with those who are both making it and capturing it.
- Robert Scoble
This is the new Democracy! using social media to get the opinion of the masses
- Constantine
@Jon - I'm pretty sure she is standing in front of other people, but part of the power of the photograph is in isolating her, without anyone else in the frame. That speaks a lot to the skill of the photographer as much as the moment being captured.
- Jennifer Dittrich
Amir's full name is Amir Sadhegi, which is listed on the about page on http://tehranlive.org
- Robert Scoble
Countries think if they shut off access the problem will go away, when actuality it highlights it. Amir's pictures remind me of Capra too. He absolutely knew how to frame a story.
- Janet Fouts
Whew. For a sec there I read the headline as "guy had been arrested." Hope he's still out there shooting away.
- Grayson Daughters
Here's an image Amir made of the woman and another guy running: http://twitpic.com/7c6jz
- Robert Scoble
@jennifer - I totally agree, I've been in the news photo biz for many a year and had the pleasure of witnessing many an event unfold through photos in real time. My only issue was whether now was the time to call iconic status on an event unfolding.
- Jon Dillon
Jon: I think history will judge this image to be the iconic one. Yes, I do think we can say that when the events are unfolding. We did that with the tank image from Tianenmen.
- Robert Scoble
Wow there are a lot of iconic images on that page
- Chris Saad
German TV News has a TV special about Twitter/Social Networks and Iran right now
- Frank Koehntopp
@Robert - As I said we'll see and always happy to be proved wrong. Although Tank Man didn't hit the wires until June 5th yet the Tiananmen protests began in mid-April. During the seven weeks there was many an image that seemed to define the protests "goddess of democracy", "students feeding soldiers trapped in the crowds" today everyone remembers Tank Man.

@Alex i wondered about the same thing. They are in a profession where most of the times they have to probably go against their choice to perform their duty. Not an easy task i must say.

Police in Iran charged at protesters using their motorbikes, in a bid to break up a street rally. One policeman crashed his bike during the charge and was helped to safety by protesters.

Now this is an amazing photograph, serving as a great reminder that humanity is capable at once of both terrible and great things. I hope it is one of assistance, much as that very moving video above showed.

the video is great, too. shows that, even at crazy times, there are good-hearted people acting to protect anyone in need. i wonder how often this has been happening over the last few days.

Non profit websites share many of the same best practices as any website. They need to be user friendly, easily navigable, and use appropriate fonts, colors, and other design elements. But often a non profit website needs to offer more than your typical corporate site. A non profit’s website needs to make it easy to find out more about their cause, to donate money, and to become more involved. It needs to make it easy for media contacts to find the information they need and the contact information of key personnel. And it needs to do all this in a way that’s inviting to the organization’s targeted donors and/or volunteers. Below are a list of best practices for designing non profit websites followed by some examples of non profit websites that are getting things right.

Trader Joes is a tad overrated in my opinion. I'm not nuts on organics and the such, though.
- Mike Nayyar
ah, it's great for novelty snacky things and stuff, but I mainly get some of my staples there. Incredible prices on red wine, cheese, good bread, coffee, salsa (those are my staples). Between Trader Joe's, Costco, and the farmer's market, I can usually stay out of regular supermarkets AND save a ton of money.
- Laura Norvig
Funny, we shop at Trader Joe's all the time and I can't think of a single time we've bought anything organic from there.
- Anika
The chocolate coconut things are good; like their version of Almond Joy.
- Laura B.
Did you like it? I always enjoy it, and say I should get there more often and then about nine months goes by before I visit again.
- Martha
I'm not nuts on organics, either, but they have much better prices on most everything. Cheaper milk, beef, cereal, eggs, wine, pasta, frozen dinners...having steak tips tonight that I got for probably $4 less than I could've at the other grocery store.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
it's 2 blocks away, so it's roughly my regular grocery store.

It was pretty crowded (but it was a Saturday afternoon), but they seemed to have interesting things in there.

Was just there last night! fun place. yeah, I had thought the one we went to last night would be larger, but apparently they're all the same size. I think I had it mixed up with Wild Oats (or whatever it's called now. Earth something)
- Kamilah Gill
They have fun healthy food but I always end up with the chocolate covered stuff!
- BEX
We don't use it as a supermarket--but their dried fruit, dark chocolate, ruby red grapefruit juice, Kauai coffee, vitamins & minerals without filler ingredients, etc... lots of reasons I'd hate to lose TJ (and was thrilled to find a much larger one within 1.5 miles of the place we might move!)
- Walt Crawford
Kamilah, they are not all the same size. We have two here in Santa Cruz that are very spacious compared to the one I used to go to in L.A.
- Laura Norvig
love love love Trader Joe's. They have really inexpensive cereal that we like (Nature's Path pumpkin flax granola) plus their frozen garlic is yummy, and their frozen brown rice is a tad expensive but sooooo tasty & easy to cook, plus also their ginger cookies are good ... I <3 Trader Joe's!!
- Stephanie_GoBigBlue!
Oh ok, thanks, Laura. All I know is, the two Trader Joe's in Indiana are the same size.
