A recent discussion with a fellow flickrnaut, about image size, has me interested to hear others thoughts and ideas on 'image size' in a web context? Viewing images, and by images I'm talking photography, although paintings and prints fit this idea to a certain extent too, in a gallery context for example, gives many artists a great deal of control on how the images are read by, and impact upon, the viewer. Taking them out of that context , and putting them in/on a web site, is a profoundly different process, with a potentially different outcome. As a photographer, using sites such as flickr, you can control the maximum size displayed in the options available to you, but not the size displayed as the main size. My argument is this, if a fairly common resolution is 1024 x 746 pixels for the majority of monitors, why upload anything larger.

Not every photographer finds his or her subject through moody introspection. One of the goals of my recent SFAI class ( ‘Finding Your Subject’) was to show students the possibilities of assignment photography. While I would never say it is right for everyone, editorial work can be useful in exposing photographers to new subjects. I often use the example of Larry Sultan . After he made his brilliant book P ictures From Home , Sultan did an assignment for Maxim Magazine that led to his book, The Valley . One of the photographers I invited to my SFAI class was Timothy Archibald.Vivian Maier - Her Discovered Work

Relentlessly awesome photographer Katie Cooke ‘s Balancing Act series of pinhole photographs opens 3 July, 2010 at Axolotl , Edinburgh, Scotland, and runs for the month. Cooke writes, “This is a show of my long exposure self portrait pinhole photographs, mostly from the Balancing Act series that I made between 2006 and 2007, exploring the gain, loss, and regain of my ability to stand.”

Contemporary European Photography Apr 12, 2012 – Luke Norman & Nik Adam are two young photographers who produce their work in a collaboration. They’re part of what I think of as a new wave of artists producing conceptual photography with a heavy art slant (academics might have a name for that already). The photo above is from Peacock . Apr 9, 2012 – “ ‘Auftakt’ is the upward stroke made by conductor, a gesture, that comes in the moment when music does not begin to sound yet. It’s a gesture made in silence, but combining full information about time of performance, tempo and semantic fullness of music, it’s stroke and character of the sound.” - Roman Drits ( via - where you can also find an interview with the photographer)

Photography books are sometimes a near-perfect art form — establishing a lasting, shared connection between author and reader. So, in this case, after spending a long thoughtful time entranced by Léonie Hampton's book In the Shadow of Things (a very personal book about Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), I felt at first compelled to respond in the form of a poem, rather than a traditional prose review of a photobook:stopped blogs
At precisely 6.09pm on Monday night, to borrow the famous line from The Godfather, warring mobs “took to the mattresses” at Trafalgar Square in London. It was the latest flashmob, a loosely organised group of hundreds of people who don’t know each other but meet spontaneously, do something silly for a few minutes, then go their separate ways. Now long considered passe (they are so 2003!), the aren’t-we-cool posturing has disappeared along with the TV cameras. London’s first flash mob was a sit-in at a Sofa Store, so it is only fitting that the latest incarnation was taking to the mattresses in probably the biggest pillow fight London has ever seen.
