Contact Press Images with digital exhibitions
July 6, 2009
Contact Press Images have re-designed their website and they have a bunch of “digital exhibitons” online now.
I especially liked the Contact/s exhibition where photojournalists show their actual contact sheets on whom they made their edit.
Garry Winogrand -UPDATE!-
May 1, 2009
Honestly, before Paul Graham in his lecture in Essen mentioned the name of Garry Winogrand (who Graham says has influenced him a lot), I had never heard of him. Big mistake!
I found an interesting interview / video on youtube, unfortunately undated, must be from the early 80’s or even late 70’s. Especially in the last minute of the video you can see how obsessed Winogrand was. Obviously, he didn’t care what people thought of him when he took pictures of whatever he saw – he just did it. Found that quiet inspiring.
*** This youtube clip is part of a movie called “Comtemporary photography in America” from Michael Engler, 52 min, 1982, read more here . ***
