We all perform. It's what we do for each other all the time, deliberately or unintentionally. It's a way of telling about ourselves in the hope of being recognized as what we'd like to be. - Richard Avedon

Holga D is a digital camera inspired from the extremely popular cult of Holga and other toy cameras of its kind. Even though it’s a digital camera, it retains the qualities and simplicity of the original Holga camera and brings back the joy and delayed gratification associated with good old analog photography. At the moment [...]

Portrait of forgotten Sahara

Andrew McConell spent four months in the Western Sahara to capture lives of people with no country, colonized by Spain then by Morocco and left in a sort of forgotten limbo, made of refugee camps, sparks of war and with no possible future. Yet for the photographer, the portraits – beautifully created with a blend of night, flash and long exposures – were not enough. So he recorded his subjects’ testimonials.

The Pause

My last post is dated May 3rd, and this shows me how fast the pause taken over last 2 and half months have passed. Unfortunately, it will continue for a while longer. As some of you may know, I have taken more professional responsibilities recently and a fresh academic objective regrettably means I will have even less time to dedicated to the blog. This comes at a time where I recognize the readers count potential is promising: regardless of the poor update rhythm, the last 6 months have been the best in terms of unique page views. I sincerely hope now this pause will not become definitive. Keep your 'photographic' eye open.

Iconic Photos: a blog you ought to follow

Iconic Photos (or IP for people in the know) is a photography time capsule and as its name indicates, goes back to Iconic photos, which had a place in history. It is important I mention not all the pictures the blog visits or re-visits are blockbusters such as the one in the below screen capture.

With over 300 posts, you can only learn and get your curiosity bump going. On top of that, some photographers maintain email contact with the blog owner, and provide insights only them can share.

Enjoy.
