Photographers | Analysis & Opinion | Reuters. Verdun, France By Charles Platiau Verdun was the site of one of World War I’s bloodiest battles. Hundreds of thousands of French and German soldiers lost their lives in this north-eastern corner of France, where fighting raged for months in 1916. Yesterday’s enemies are now united on the battleground. One sunny Saturday in March, I joined up with four historical associations who took part in the event: “Le Poilu de la Marne” – from France, and “Darstellungsgruppe Suddeutches Militar”, “IG 18” and “Verein Historische Uniformen”- from Germany.

The French wore the uniforms of “Poilus” as French infantrymen in the First World War were nicknamed. The Germans set out at a quick pace, as if in a race to impress the French, but as the miles wore on the two groups combined. Altfotonet. 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. There are several variables to consider when using a web site to view images. Screen SizeGraphics Card/resolutionColour controlsNavigational elements within the user interface of the web page. As a photographer, you have no control on how people, set their computer up or buy the hardware they use.

My argument is this, if a fairly common resolution is 1024 x 746 pixels for the majority of monitors, why upload anything larger. LITTLE BROWN MUSHROOM BLOG. Alec Soth's Archived Blog.

Articles Contemporary Photographers Diane Meyer May 6, 2013 – According to the artist, Diane Meyer’s Time Spent That Might Otherwise Be Forgotten “is based on photographs taken at various points in my life and arranged by location.

Sections of the images have been obscured through a layer of embroidered pixels sewn directly into the photograph. The embroidery deteriorates sections of the original photograph forming a new pixelated layer of the original scene. The project refers to the failures of photography in preserving experience and personal history as well as the means by which photographs become nostalgic objects that obscure objective understandings of the past.” Book Reviews, Photobooks Review: Naked by Rimaldas Viksraitis Review: Kiev by The Sochi Project Apr 26, 2013 – The release of smaller, purely photo-centric books, has been a part of The Sochi Project for the past years now.
