PHOTOGRAPHING PHOTOGRAPHS!
I’ve just returned from an enjoyable weekend at Paris Photo where I was amused (or should that be bemused) by how many people were photographing the photographs on display. It was happening on every stand with people blatantly walking up to a framed print and photographing it, with their mobile phone cameras, digital compacts and even with high-end SLR cameras! What exactly do people do with these images? Not to mention the number of people who like to actually touch the photographs!

PARIS PHOTO
I’m going to be in Paris this Friday and Saturday for Paris Photo. The Photographers’ Gallery are exhibiting some We English prints (see them on stand B25) and I’ll be doing a book signing on the Schaden book stand (C 10) on Friday at 4pm. Hope to see some of you there.
