Japanese.

The new issue of Photoworks is out and I highly recommend you run down to Borders, Permananet Gallery, Tate Modern or anywhere else to find yourself a copy. The new issue is co-edited by Jason Evans and focuses on Japanese Photography. I helped do some rough scans for the issue and as such got to see all of the books, the magazine doesn't quite do Winter's Tale justice so make sure you check that out for yourself too! The issue also brings together many of the talented tutors/photographers and writers that taught me as well as a few friends, so run down and find out what this Japanese photography thing is all about!


PS make sure you check out Ariko's website aarriikkoo.com, Sol is beautiful!

Along Some Rivers.

I've been introduced to Robert Adams' writing at last and don't know how I managed before. More Photographers need to be as clear, eloquent and direct in their descriptions of their own work and practice and thoughts on photography. Next up is 'Why People Photograph' and I can't wait!

Go and have a look and enjoy BRUCEBRUCEBLOG. Not only is A.Bruce fantastically talented but his writing and scope are phenomenal, get lost in some brilliant work and great geeky-camera writing!

Opera.

But it still has blades

The revelation that Dyson's new blade-less fan does infact have blades, deep inside, doesn't detract from how super cool it is!
Also see how Lunchbreath thinks it will revolutionise your life!

Buttons.

Tarot Sport is the new album by Fuck Buttons and all I have to say is that you NEED to listen to it.

Laura Hensser.

Keep up to date with Laura Hensser whilst she takes up her Artist in Residence position in Skagastrond, Iceland via her Blog. Already she's uploaded some test of 5x4 Polaroid and some video too, keep a look out for some jelly too. I can't wait to see what she comes back with!

Making A Map.

One of the finalists for this years New Nordic Photography Prize, shown at the Hasselblad Center in Gothenburg, was Wakaba Noba. Noba's project 'Making a Map' is published by the fantastic Farewell Books and brings together a great use of sequencing with detached and engaging photographs. Go have a look!

Itchy Scratchy.

Itchy Scratchy is a photography exhibition at the lovely Permanent Gallery in Brighton. It was initiated by Jason Evans and is a collection of 89 photographs by different photographers that all follow the theme of itchy scratchy pictures. It examines the photographs that people take that lead to new things and how similar themes appear within different practices. What I found interesting is that the show is hung alphabetically but there are some lovely combinations of sequences that are all consequential and unplanned. Have a look out for some great photographers, Vivianne Sassen, Sarah Pickering, Gordon MacDonald and Me! The show is on until 8th of November and there are some great nights planned to mark the end of British Summer time and Halloween!
