Leica advertising from 1935, when the camera was widely in use by Europeans.

Anthony Lane is one of the finest writers New Yorker magazine employs – he typically writes movie reviews (which, unlike most of the movies he discusses, are not to be missed) – and it’s a particular treat to read his article about Leica cameras.

Conscientious Weblog

27 09 2007

Conscientious is a blog that predominantly deals with contemporary fine-art photography (even though it is also linked to other topics that the author might find interesting). It presents a selection of photographers, with the selection based on whether the author likes their work or find it interesting. It’s really as simple as that. In addition to showcasing photographers he also links to articles about photography, and he posts reviews of photography books and interviews with photographers.

This is a weblog about fine-art photography and more that I would easily recommend to everyone who deals with photography as an artists or as a curator or organizer.

Foto Arte 2007 is a lively, well-established international photography conference, festival and series of seminars that attracts great talents and photography lovers from South America and from all over the world. As an important component of this event, photographers can meet there with well-respected photography professionals (international museum curators, gallerists, publishers), to show their portfolios during intense, scheduled formal reviews. Over a busy period of four days (October 18-21), these emerging and established photographers get creative feedback, constructive criticism, business advice — and hopefully an exhibition, gallery representation, or broad exposure through publications in print or on the web.
