Brunel, Howlett, Che, Korda, and a dog..

This story made me laugh. Alberto Korda's daughter is suing a card maker for dressing a dog up to look a bit like Che. I think Che would have a laugh too. (......

“Paparazzi photography soon illegal in Switzerland”.

Sounds interesting, thought I. "Sweden’s Justice Minister Beatrice Ask said Monday that "undercover photography" without peoples permissions in private areas -- such as in their homes, dressing cabins or gym changing rooms -- should......

Aha! All becomes clear. Sort of..

Odd. But quite magic. Steampunk insects. There's even a book. Great stuff. ...

Thanks Penny.

Penelope Anne Tweedie, photojournalist, born 30 April 1940; died 14 January 2011 I never got to meet Penny. I wish I had. She sounds beautiful. I remember being wowed by her Australian images as a......

#FF Folk Friday.

Robert Frank was handy with a camera. Jackson was handy with a guitar. This is beautiful, but the video could with some work. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VzyDT4MQGA...

R.I.P the darkroom..

Lovely little piece here by Richard Nicholson about the demise of London's darkrooms. I suppose it won't resonate so much unless you have spent time shuffling prints in their trays. Darkrooms are magical. No two ways......

Bonza bonanza.

"According to Wikipedia, Lik has sold over $150 million in limited edition prints to date." And he's just flogged another one for a cool 1 million $. ...

Open Eye: Lebanon’s missing (Radio documentary and photofilm on the BBC).

(PLEASE SHARE THIS IMPORTANT STORY) If you didn't get to listen to the fascinating and harrowing piece on the BBC World Service this morning about the photographer Dalia Khamissy's attempts to document what happened to......

Like Vivian Maier? Kickstarter needs you….

Already 3 times over what was asked for, with 54 days to go. Looks very interesting. Not very often that's going to happen to any photographer methinks, let alone one unheard of until......

WPP launches multimedia contest..

But you can't enter. You must be chosen, magically. At least Ed Kashi is the chair, I feel better now. I have no idea whatsoever though how any pieces are nominated, entered, chosen, judged......

How to gain a stop and get shot..

"MSHI predicts that when using the shoulder stock a full stop can be gained in low light shooting" Well, that's alright then. Personally, I'd gain a stop another way, and keep the relevant number......

Exploding photos..

Well, nearly. They self destruct at least. I can see uses way beyond clearing your myspace cache. ...

Put this in your diary, under pain of death..

Ok, that was a bit extreme. Maybe I should have said, put this in your diary, if you like. The thing is, you should, because it's Zed Nelson's first documentary film.. We all know......

An, er, job. With money, and everything..

Blimey. Jobs for photographers. Have I slipped back in time? (checks watch, no, it's still 4pm).... You will have to work like a mule however, and for not much straw. Plus you'll need to......

Safe as houses..

I went looking for pics of pink ak-47's. They are out there, and someone should do a story on them. In the meanwhile, I got distracted by this pic, from here. I really......

An oldie, but still a goodie..

And no, I'm not talking about Bill Oddie. I am talking about this....

Jumping Tank..

You don't get to write that often. On behalf of the better half ( and no, that's not you Ben ;)), I have pleasure in giving you Tank, at two months old. He has......

And here’s some reflection(s).

This guy breeds edible snails. For some reason I thought it apt to photograph him in a home made kaleidoscope with led's on the snails. I had hoped the snails would move a bit quicker......

Levity/levitation.

I always get them confused.  Presently there's a need for at least one, so here's both: And don't worry. No animals were harmed making......

“The funeral of photography?”.

Maybe. You decide. Great piece on the state of doco snappering with Lauren Greenfield and Susan Meiselas. No looking mind.....
