Micha Bar-Am (Hebrew: מיכה בר-עם) (born 1930 Berlin, Germany) is a renowned Israeli journalistic photographer. His images cover every aspect of life in Israel in the past sixty years.

Since 1968 he has been a correspondent with Magnum, the photographic cooperative. From 1968 to 1992, he was the New York Times photographic correspondent from Israel. He has published several books of photography, beginning in 1957. His work is held in numerous international museums and institutes throughout the world.

Early life

Born in Berlin to a Jewish family, as a child, Bar-Am moved with his parents in 1936 to then British Mandate of Palestine. He attended local schools.

He was drafted in 1948 and served during Israel's War of Independence, when he was part of the Palmach Unit. Afterward, he worked several jobs, including as a locksmith and a mounted guard, before becoming a photographer. In 1949 he co-founded the kibbutz Malkia in Galilee. Later he became a member of Kibbutz Gesher HaZiv.[1]
Photography career

In the early 1940s, Bar-Am started taking pictures of life on a kibbutz; he used borrowed cameras until he bought a Leica. After his military service, he began photographing more seriously.

After publishing his first book, Across Sinai (1957), Bar-Am gained work as a photographic reporter and in the editorial staff of the Israeli Army magazine, Ba-Mahaneh, from 1957 to 1967. In 1961 he covered the Eichmann trial.

In 1967 he covered the Six-Day war, during which time he met Cornell Capa. Many of his war images brought him renown. Since 1968, he has been a correspondent for Magnum Photos. In 1974 he helped Capa found the International Center of Photography in New York.

In 1968, Bar-Am also became the photographic correspondent from Israel for the New York Times, a position he held until 1992. From 1977-92, he was head of the department of photography at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art.

He continues to work on his photography. He writes about his work:

    "I keep my internal eye open for that other, metaphorical image that transcends illustration to achieve a wholeness of its own. I strive for the elusive entity that is both evidence and evocation, public record and personal vision."

He says that he has adopted Robert Capa's saying, "If your photographs aren't good enough, you weren't close enough," but has added a caveat:

    "If you're too close you lose perspective. It is not easy to be fair with the facts and keep your own convictions out of the picture. It is almost impossible to be both a participant in the events and their observer, witness, interpreter. The effort brings great frustration, and equally great reward." [1]

Personal life

Bar-Am is married to Orna, an artist. Together they have three sons: Ahuvia, a professor of classics; Barak, an artist; and Nimrod, a Doctor of Philosophy.

 Micha Bar-Am (n. 26 de agosto de 1930) es un fotógrafo israelí perteneciente a la agencia Magnum.1

Nació en Berlín pero cuando tenía seis años sus padres se trasladaron a Haifa donde estuvo residiendo hasta 1948 y trabajó en su puerto de marinero en 1944. Se integró en la Palmach y estuvo luchando por la independencia, siendo miembro fundador en 1949 del kibutz de Malkiya aunque en 1953 se trasladó al de Gesher-Haziv donde comenzó a realizar fotografías con una cámara prestada. Durante la Guerra del Sinai realizó un reportaje que vendió y le permitió adquirir una Leica dedicándose a la fotografía de modo profesional. Hasta 1966 estuvo trabajando en la revista Bahmahane y en 1961 cubrió el juicio a Adolf Eichmann.2

En 1966 inició su trabajo como fotógrafo independiente y un año después conoció a Cornell Capa con quien realizó reportajes de la Guerra de los Seis Días, por lo que desde 1968 forma parte de la agencia Magnum y se convirtió en el corresponsal del New York Times, lo que ejerció hasta 1992. En 1973 también realizó fotografías de la Guerra del Yom Kippur y en 1977 fue nombrado conservador en el departamento de fotografía del Museo de Tel-Aviv hasta su jubilación en 1992.

En el año 2000 recibió el Premio de Israel a las Artes Visuales. Su trabajo se puede encontrar en el Centro internacional de Fotografía (ICP), en la Biblioteca Nacional de Francia, en el Museo Ludwig, en el Museo de Arte de Tel-Aviv y en el Museo de Arte Moderno de Nueva York entre otros.

NASA: USA - Fires in Montana and Idaho - 08.27.13



Fires in Montana and Idaho
acquired August 18, 2013 download large image (620 KB, JPEG, 1440x960)
Taken with a short lens (50 millimeters), this west-looking image from the International Space Station includes much of forested central Idaho. The oblique image highlights part of the largest single wilderness area in the contiguous United States, the Frank Church–River of No Return Wilderness.
Within this mountainous region (the dark areas are all wooded), several fires produced extensive smoke plumes. The densest smoke appeared to be generated by a combination of the Little Queens and Leggit fires (within the Salmon River Mountains). This image shows the common pattern of westerly winds carrying smoke in an easterly direction, as seen during the wildfire season of one year ago.
Named fires—most ignited by lightning—had burned 53,000 acres of forest south of the Salmon River by August 20, 2013; the number would be significantly higher if unnamed fires were included. The Gold Pan fire, north of the Salmon River, had burned 27,000 acres. For a sense of scale, Gold Pan lies about 125 miles (200 kilometers) north of the Little Queens fire.
Ten days before this image was taken, fires in central Idaho (near Boise) had been aggravated by southerly winds. Some of those fires began to burn in July, but were quelled and remain under observation for new flare-ups.
In the image above, smoke partly obscures the black lava flows of the Craters of the Moon National Monument (lower left). The Beaverhead Mountains mark the eastern boundary of Idaho with Montana.
Astronaut photograph ISS036-E-32853 was acquired on August 18, 2013, with a Nikon D3S digital camera using a 50 millimeter lens, and is provided by the ISS Crew Earth Observations experiment and Image Science & Analysis Laboratory, Johnson Space Center. The image was taken by the Expedition 36 crew. It has been cropped and enhanced to improve contrast, and lens artifacts have been removed. The International Space Station Program supports the laboratory as part of the ISS National Lab to help astronauts take pictures of Earth that will be of the greatest value to scientists and the public, and to make those images freely available on the Internet. Additional images taken by astronauts and cosmonauts can be viewed at the NASA/JSC Gateway to Astronaut Photography of Earth. Caption by M. Justin Wilkinson, Jacobs/JETS at NASA-JSC.
