In this recurring column, we highlight a few items we've run across that don't merit a full story of their own but are interesting enough to bring to your attention. This time we look at Houston's Fotofest, Igor Malijevský, Albrecht Voss, Greg Mo, stuff said and shooting in the raint.
- Sarah Gilbert presents images from Houston's Fotofest which this year focuses on "the effects of social, cultural, ecological and political forces on places and communities."
- In Black and White War, Marigold Warner reviews Igor Malijevský's photographs from Ukraine since Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022 which "viewers to connect with the everyday experiences of war that can be overlooked by headlines in the mainstream press."
- Tess Reidy shares a few shots of Leipzig photographer Albrecht Voss's Architectural Adventures in the Alps. He and a friend took 20 days to document 28 buildings in Slovenia, Austria, Switzerland and Germany. "We would aim to be on top of the mountain for golden hour, when the light is very beautiful," he says. "Then we'd wait until pitch black at night, when the stars are visible."
- In Cambodian and Indian Street Work, Greg Mo talks about his color photography. "For me, colors are a way of feeling atmospheres and places. Color is an essential structure of my compositions; the same images in black and white would not work, they would not have the same psychological impact."
- Thom Hogan adds three more Interesting Things Said on the Internet.
- In Pretend Elitism and Much More, Kirk Tuck recovers from a "lame" SXSW last week by taking a walk int he rain with his Leica and a 35mm lens. "I often wonder what other people think about when they head out to photograph," he writes. "I tend to think about all the images I've seen from the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s and 1970s that look so incredibly interesting now."
More to come! Meanwhile, here's a look back. And please support our efforts...
