[Old Blog] Gilles Peress, L’Agence Vu’, 52 in Saint John, film, and Lens

Another weekend that I will spend working. Not exactly thrilled about it. Here is a bunch of photo related links.

I found this Gilles Peress interview more or less by accident. He has some very interesting things to say worth listening. However, I do have to warn you that the interviewer is annoying beyond belief. Every time he says ‘I see,’ you know that he has no clue what is that Peress is talking about. Even Peress himself makes fun about it at the end. (Peress’s photos are here. Here is another good read on Peress.)

For some bizarre reason I never linked to L’Agence Vu’ so now I am correcting that particular oversight.

You should also keep an eye out on an interesting project that Saint John photographer Dan Culberson has undertaken. It’s called 52 in Saint John and it will eventually feature a collection of 52 portraits.

Two links to websites promoting film usage: The International Analogue Photographic Society and Analogue Masters. Most of the photos are not necessarily my cup of tea, but it’s nice to see what else is out there.

And the last two links are both located on NYT’s Lens: Cowboys and Photojournalists is a fun piece and the interview with Todd Heisler, the photgrapher behind One in 8 Million NYT feature is well worth a read.
