very positive review of the unseen photo fair this weekend from the UK financial times, i will be writing my own review this week too for ‘fontanel’
me news
in no great hurry
the jewish museum in amsterdam will be airing this wonderful documentary about american photographer ‘saul leiter’ this coming weekend
fake scenes
a noteworthy experiment in the irish town of bushmills (yes from the whisky): the town has been suffering an economic depression and locals have raised funds to decorate empty buildings with fake scenes depicting a series of shops and homes, complete with people in the windows… i find this idea weird and great at the same time…
apparently the project has had some success in finding new owners for the deserted properties… story via pinar & viola
hijweege app
undoubtedly not the first of its kind, but this portfolio app by local photographer erik hijweege is one of the first i have seen, the app currently only contains his acclaimed ‘holland’ tilt-shift series… but he promises to add more work in the near future
the office
a slideshow impression of ira booms’ office, made by my friend, photographer bettina neumann
