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 Hildegard Rosenthal, Jan Erik Waider, Sally Mann, wireless technology in photography and The Online Photographer.
- Vinicius Pereira profiles Hildegard Rosenthal in The Swiss Woman Who Fled the Nazis and Changed Brazilian Photojournalism. "Her work engages with the aesthetics of modern metropolises while capturing the particularities of a city marked by class and gender inequality," Pereira writes. "Being a woman gave her access to spaces and experiences that her male colleagues rarely documented, offering unique perspectives on female presence in the urban landscape."
- Heidi Volpe interviews Jan Erik Waider about his fragile and transformative Abstract Landscapes. "My design background strongly shaped the way I see and compose images. I’ve always been drawn to order within apparent chaos—structures that verge on the graphic or almost architectural," he says.
- Alexandra Jacobs reviews Sally Mann's Art Work: On the Creative Life (gift link). "Mann hopes here to demystify the life of the artist, 'a profession not unlike being an insurance adjuster or a sportscaster,' she claims," Jacobs writes. "There is plenty about specific film processes, for the photo geeks, but also the trapped fly that ruins or maybe enhances, the print."
- In Cutting the Cord, Jason Row lists a few ways to use wireless technology in photography.
- It appears Mike Johnston's The Online Photographer is offline already. Typepad, which is closing down on Sept. 30, has not served its pages for several days now. Dennis Mook at The Wandering Lensman has been in touch with Johnston and has an update. Johnston says TypePad crashed late last Thursday. He's working with a developer to create a WordPress site that will come back online as theonlinephotographer.com, which currently points to the inaccessible TypePad site. But that might not be until October.
More to come! Meanwhile, here's a look back. And please support our efforts...
