NOW THE TIME RETURNS AGAIN
There’s a feature in this week’s British Journal of Photography written by Peter Hamilton. Now the time returns again explores the new crop of photobooks, including We English, that explore English identity. Hamilton’s article looks at the tradition of the national survey, discussing work from the likes of Bill Brandt and Ian Berry to Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen (Byker Revisited) and Harry Cory Wright.
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.
