Looking forward, I questioned what the solution was. I’ve never been a planner, so even that question put me in uncharted territory. I’ve never thought about doing a project, but that quickly sprang to mind, but what? more

William Nourse – Portrait of a Photographer
Matt Payne |
In the fjords of Chile, somewhere between Ushuaia and Puntas Arenas, I watched William Nourse lean over the edge of our sailboat, not to capture the looming cliffs or moody skies like the rest of us, but to photograph chunks of ice slicing across the Starboard of our boat: small, graphic details most of us ignored without a second glance. Later, when I saw the image, it felt more

Although he stumbled into photography through a love of outdoor activities, the two feed and reinvigorate each other. He has a particular passion for working in projects, often contemplating cold places and in so doing, their fragility. more
Should landscape photography always please us?
Bob Wielaard |
I discovered that I am often more fascinated by pictures that I don’t immediately recognize or understand—no ‘celebration of recognition’. Or I wonder why the photographer made this picture, and I am caught by the question, ‘What is it?’ more
Les Bisses du Valais
Keith Beven |
God the Father, on a visit to the Valais in the company of St. Peter, offered the Valaisans who complained about the retreat of the glaciers and the aridity of their climate, to take care of the problem of water if they wished. St. Peter saw that the locals were hesitating, and encouraged them to accept the offer, telling them that God himself was a Valaisan. Was it this remark that got them thinking? In any case, they declined more

Despite the struggle for recognition, this should not discourage your desire to create. For the joy you experience through artistic creation is what truly matters, regardless of the judgment of others. more

The Alternative ‘Movement’

Silver-based film and traditional darkroom printing are making a healthy comeback in art colleges and among amateurs. Whether silver-gelatin is really ‘alternative’ photography is a moot point. more

The natural world can offer us so much in the way of living a deeper and more meaningful life. We seem to be living through some very interesting times, with so many people seeking answers to deeper questions about our collective existence and focusing on making our world a better place. more

Hi Joe, I'm glad you liked the article. Yes, I agree, these kind of story could have happened anywhere, anytime. And no, I'm not going to let them discourage or affect my future plans at all, quite the opposite ! Thank your for your words !

Love the article, hate the critics! Brilliant take-down of the pomposity and self importance of those who are part of the control establishment over the arts. It happened at the Orsay, Francesco, and perhaps Parisian critics are more self-important than most, however, I reckon the story you tell could have been [...]
