ACTIVITEITEN FW: HOST GALLERY BLOG. MULL IT OVER. Mrs. Deane : nothing is too amazing to be true. Non-digitally manip­u­lated hand print © Yaseen Al-Obeidy The Kuwait Weeks were born out of a con­ver­sa­tion I had with Kuwaiti pho­tog­ra­pher Mohammed Alk­ouh, who is cur­rently hav­ing a solo show at CAP Kuwait, which includes a num­ber of his recent stu­dio por­traits. We talked about his encoun­ters in the tra­di­tional por­trait stu­dios, which gave him the love for the hand-colored image, and how for him those pho­tographs, like real life instances of Oscar Wilde’s pic­tures of Dorian Gray, con­tained the pres­ence and the youth of a fam­ily mem­ber now in advanced age or even deceased.

And how the vin­tage image has this mys­te­ri­ous time-warp qual­ity that we can­not shake off or stop being fas­ci­nated by — an addic­tion mer­ci­less tapped into and catered to by sev­eral online plat­forms, numer­ous photo books, col­lec­tions, some gal­leries, eBay sell­ers and auctioneers.

Consumptive.org. Colin Pantall's blog. Blog – BRIAN ULRICH : NOT IF BUT WHEN. Leon Shambroom, Augustana Health Care Center, May 2011 In July of last year, I heard the sad news that the son of Paul Shambroom and Joan Rothfuss was caught in a bad fire in South Minneapolis. Thankfully Leon survived but with some severe brain injuries.

Being a new father myself I cannot fathom the heartbreak and terror of what Paul, Joan and Leon must have gone through. I’ve known Paul for some time and he’s been an incredible mentor and friend. I spoke with him sometime after Leon’s accident and in keeping with his character, he had a great attitude about it all, saying that he’s thankful he can still keep his role as father, it’s just different than before. As of now Leon is unable to walk or talk due to the smoke inhalation and carbon monoxide poisoning, and requires 24 hour medical care. The costs of all that can be boundless. Alec Soth, Carrie Thompson and I spoke with Paul about organizing an benefit auction to help supplement the costs of Leon’s care.

BOMBlog. Blog – BlackLab: Adventures in Still Pictures. Art Sexy. Art News Blog. Singular Images. The PhotoBook. The Independent Photobook. Photobooks, zines, reviewed, etc... It’s been a while since I updated this site. Things have changed. Work has become more demanding of my time. My family life and other activities have occupied more and more of my free time. My disposable income, previously used to buy books, has diminished. Whilst I long to continue writing about books, I am struggling to find the time to track down and obtain enough titles to provide a steady stream of content. When I do find books, it’s rare that I can afford enough to keep this site updated as frequently as I did last year. There are other sites which are able to keep up to date with new photo book releases. You could check out One year of books (now in its second year!?) Little Brown Mushroom's recently received section lists many more titles than I could hope to obtain. Finally, The Independent Photobook provides probably the most comprehensive catalogue of independently published photography books online.

(scroll down for English version) Zwischen Stadt und Land, zwischen Kind und Frau: es sind Mädchen am Übergang, die Ute und Werner Mahler für ihr Projekt „Monalisen der Vorstädte“ fotografiert haben. Dreißig der so entstanden Porträts haben die Mahlers für einen Band ausgewählt, der jetzt erschienen ist – unser zweites Meier und Müller Buch.

Drei Jahre lang sind die Mahlers quer durch Europa gereist. Sie haben ihre „Monalisen“ in Liverpool, Minsk, Florenz, Reykjavik und Berlin gefunden. Dort warteten sie in den Vorstädten, auf Mädchen, die etwas Rätselhaftes, Zeitloses im Gesicht hatten. Diese Mädchen haben sie porträtiert, in ihrer natürlichen Umgebung, zwischen Gebäuden und Wiesen, aber mit einer Ausrüstung wie sie früher in alten Fotoateliers verwendet wurde: eine alte Plattenkamera, ein schwarzes Tuch, ein dreibeiniges Stativ und ein Hocker, ohne Lehnen aber mit anmontierter Kopfstütze. Die ersten „Monalisen der Vorstädte“ wurden im Rahmen der OSTKREUZ Ausstellung „Die Stadt. Hipshots. DLK COLLECTION. Claxton Projects. Buffet. Bint photoBooks on INTernet.

Photo-eye | BLOG: photo-eye Book Reviews: Juchitan de las Mujeres. Juchitan de las Mujeres Reviewed by Faye Robson ______________________________________ Graciela Iturbide Juchitan de las Mujeres Photographs by Graciela Iturbide. Text by Mario Bellatin, Elena Poniatowska. RM/Editorial Calamus, 2009. Hardbound. 104 pp., 75 tritone illustrations, 8-1/2x14-3/4". In 1979, Graciela Iturbide was just one of a group of artists invited by Juchitán-native Francisco Toledo to create work in his hometown in the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca. The town of Juchitán de Zaragoza, the district to which it belongs, and the unique culture of its inhabitants form the subject matter of Juchitán de las Mujeres (a title which translates, awkwardly, as 'Juchitán of Women').

Indeed, this work, initially intended for an exhibition Toledo planned at the Juchitán Casa de Cultura, exceeds many of the expectations one might have for a geographically-anchored project, which takes a visually and ideologically distinct culture as its subject.
