André Kertész @ Photographers’ Gallery, London
I made a quick trip over to London last week and managed to squeeze in a visit to the Photographers’ Gallery new location on Ramillies Street. Summer shows can often be a disappointment: place-holders while everyone is away on holiday. So this André Kertész show came as a very pleasant surprise.
Youngsuk Suh
Thanks to Mrs Deane for switching me on to Youngsuk Suh‘s work. I am particularly enjoying the Wildfires series and, in the light of Errol Morris’s recent post on photographs and the text that accompanies them, the way that the captions make you read these images.

His second post is an interview with Saul Leiter, whose show at the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson was a huge success last year. Leiter has been receiving [...]
Osamu James Nakagawa
The Japanese-American photographer Osamu James Nakagawa has just been awarded a Guggenheim fellowship to support his work on the Banta and Gama series. With Banta, Nakagawa explores the scars of the Pacific War opposing Japan to America on the cliffs of the island of Okinawa. I was intrigued by the format (which doesn’t translate well [...]
Review: First Doubt
“Postmodern interjection, intervention, and manipulation practiced by the society at large have made the image evident more as an artifice than a true recital of the outside world. That makes me happy.” Allan Chasanoff This quote gives you an idea of the thread that runs through First Doubt, Optical Confusion in Modern Photography, an exhibition [...]

Review: William Eggleston Paris @ Fondation Cartier
Three years ago Hervé Chandès, the director of the Fondation Cartier, suggested to William Eggleston over dinner that he shoot a series of photographs of Paris.
