mus-mus @Paris project
It seems like Paris may be having a bit of a revival as a photographic subject with Eggleston’s Paris commission for the Fondation Cartier and now this: mus-mus, the mysterious people behind the @600 project, are back with the @Paris project. As for @600, this project will collect images of Paris by photographers from all [...]
Horses Think @ Michael Hoppen Gallery, London
It is always nice to see a fellow photography blogger making things happen. Ofer Wolberger of Horses Think is going to be exhibiting his works at the Michael Hoppen Gallery in London from June 4th to July 25th.
Is tilt-shift photography’s auto-tune?
There has been a big debate going on in the musical blogosphere about the auto-tune. Kanye West has his fair share of responsibility for this as his last album, 808s & Heartbreak, didn’t contain any rapping whatsoever and just involved him warbling into his vocoder.

Taisuke Koyama
During my exceedingly short trip to Tokyo earlier this month, a friend of mine took me on a whirlwind up-and-coming-photography tour of Tokyo.

NY Photo Festival 2009 Round-up

The picture I am getting so far is a bit disappointing. Don’t worry, I won’t be adding to the debate seeing [...]
NY Photo Festival Blogging Panel
Photo-bloggers of the world, rejoice. Photo-blogs have reached that critical mass where ‘blogging panels’ like this one at the NY Photo Festival now take place about the role of blogging in photography. If you missed that defining moment in photo-blog history (chaired by the almighty JM Colberg of Conscientious fame), you can see practically the [...]
Is this really the future of photography?
The Creative Review blog has a post about LPA Futures, a competition designed to “find the next generation of commercial photographers.” The prize: five young photographers get to have their careers “nurtured” by the Lisa Pritchard Agency. There are lots of these awards around these days for young photographers and god knows that they need [...]
Review: Tania Mouraud @ Dominique Fiat
Just went to the Tania Mouraud opening at Dominque Fiat. Mouraud seems to have done some interesting installations in the past, but this show just seems ludicrous to me. A dozen (inevitably, predictably) large prints of ‘landscapes’ created by taking pictures of bales of hay wrapped in plastic. The invitation even has a picture of [...]
