Photography Book Now is an international juried self-published book competition, and a celebration of the most creative, most innovative, and finest photography books – and the people behind them.
Looks good. Go see.
I’m getting to have a large collection of photo odds and ends laying around that don’t seem to fit anywhere, so I have rebooted my Flickr account.
I have also added a new page here to the site that displays the latest ten of my Flickr uploads.
Go Flickr.
A bust card is available for photographers in the UK who may be stopped and searched, or even detained, under section 44 of the Terrorism Act 2000.
“The card has been compiled by photographers with many years experience dealing with the police and stops and searches as well as legal advice from lawyer Anna Mazzola who specialises in public law, human rights, actions against the police and other detaining authorities.”
You can download it from the ‘I am a photographer, not a terrorist‘ website, or to save them some bandwidth feel free to download it from me directly by clicking on this link: UK Photog Bust Card (64k .pdf).
Either way, be sure to read further details regarding the card on this bust card page and also to read the comments on that page as they contain further useful unformation.
A couple of great photoblogs I have found recently:
The first is Minimodi from Gothenburg, Sweden. Varied subjects, consistently high quality. Click on each image to go to the following image.
The second is City Snaps from San Francisico. Mostly urban work, also of consistently high quality. A great example is this; Hanging Around, which is very nearly a perfect black and white shot, in my opinion.
There are far too many images between the two for me to possibly point out all of my personal favourites – so grab a coffee, sit back, and go see for yourself.
So a photographer and an inanimate object are sitting in a bar, drinking a few beers…
Inanimate Object: “So, Mr Photographer, we have both been working pretty solidly for the past seven months, then. And we have both taken an awful lot of photographs, have we not?”
Photographer: “Yep, we have indeed, and I don’t know about you but I’m tired. It was a tough seven months, wasn’t it”.
IO: “No, I found my work quite easy, actually, and very rewarding financially”.
Photog: “Really? I did well too, but if you don’t mind me asking, how much did you make?”.
IO: “Oh, around one point two million pounds sterling, tax free”.
Photog: “Wow”.
I’m clearly in the wrong type of photography, I should be a motorway speed camera.
