    The photography thread will never begin?

    From Wiki:

    "Count Basie, having grown tired of standing, sat down on the curb, and gradually a dozen children followed. Most of the children were neighborhood residents, although the second child from the right, Taft Jordan, Jr., had accompanied his father, Taft Jordan, to the photo session. The photography crew was already having trouble directing the adults, and the presence of the children added to the chaos: one of the children appearing in the window kept yelling at a sibling on the curb; another kept playing with Basie's hat; Taft Jordan, Jr. had been scuffling with the older child seated to his left. Ultimately, Art Kane realized that any further attempt to organize the proceedings would be futile, and he decided to incorporate the subjects' actions."

          Here are a few pictures by a favourite photographer of mine. His name is Daido Moriyama, born in Osaka in 1938. Moriyama first started to pick up attention in the late 60s when he was involved with a short-lived experimental photography magazine called Provoke. These images are mainly from the early 70s.

                I've just bought one of these.

                Now I'm really going to have to build the darkroom I've been talking about for the past year.

                              Photos by Nick Hedges of families living in slum housing around Britain in the 60's and 70's.

                              Heartbreaking. More details on the series, including captions for some of the photos, on the BBC website.

                                Most of these photos from Syria are very good, some are excellent.

                                  And I'd give anything to take anything as good as these finalists in the Sony world photography award

                                    Why yes I am on a photography kick today. I've just seen Fan Ho's work for the first time and it's amazing. When (or if at the moment) I get a job I'm buying the book of his work from the 50s and 60s

                                        I've not been but as it's in its final week (last day Sunday 24th Feb) I thought people on here may be interested in Roman Vishniac Rediscovered.

                                        It's a retrospective on at The Photographers Gallery and Jewish Museum.

                                        From the description:

                                        An extraordinarily versatile and innovative photographer, Vishniac is best known for having created one of the most widely recognised and reproduced photographic records of Jewish life in Eastern Europe between the two World Wars. Featuring many of his most iconic works, this comprehensive exhibition further introduces recently discovered and lesser-known chapters of his photographic career from the early 1920s to the late 1970s. The cross-venue exhibition presents radically diverse bodies of work and positions Vishniac as one of the most important social documentary photographers of the 20th century whose work also sits within a broader tradition of 1930s modernist photography.

                                        A sample of his pictures can be seen here

                                              The link is still active and, as MsD said, the contents are really interesting.

                                              Those awful photographs from the end of the Bangladesh Liberation War, which weren't faked but were deemed to have been images of actions provoked by the presence of Western photographers, include one which has haunted me since I first saw it all those years ago, the final one of the terrified man looking up at the soldier.

                                                Also, that Bowie picture isn't Bowie at all. Just a guy who looked like him from a certain angle.

                                                  My upcoming Autumn/Winter project is to make my own light sensitive emulsions. If it's not a total disaster I'll post some results on here.

                                                    Went to an exhibition at the Robert Capa photography museum in Budapest today of Hans van der Meer - who OTF will know as the Dutch photographer who did all the lower league football shots. He also came to Budapest in 86/87 in the last days of the regime and this exhibition covered his shots from then (there was also a brilliant football corner).
