Book Review – Pierino’s Snowdonia
Pierino Algieri, as the name probably suggests, hails not from Wales but from Southern Italy, only settling in Wales after a tortuous Second World War. I wouldn’t mention this biographical aside but it’s part of the joy of this small photographic book. Pierino has written what is effectively part family history, part diary, part photo guide and part ode to the Welsh countryside. The passion for photography and family reflect each other well and after a foreword by Peter more
Michael Jackson – Poppit Sands
If you've been reading On Landscape for a while you'll remember in issue 26 that we interviewed Michael Jackson about his black and white project on the patterns at Poppit Sands. Michael has continued to create more work in the series and has had great success in promoting it to various establishments. This month sees a small 'taster' exhibition at the Beetles & Huxley gallery in London. Ten prints are on show selected from Michael's substantial catalogue of more
Harry Callahan Exhibition and Catalog
"I know what you're thinking: 'Did he use two sheets of film or only one?' Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I've kinda lost track myself. But being as this is a Deardorff 8x10, the most powerful camera in the world, and would blow your D800E clean away, you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do you, punk?" - filed under "Things Harry Callahan might not have said" more
The Year of the Print Exhibition
The idea of a group exhibition where the exhibitors are selected by who has the incentive to put their hand in their pockets and the pictures selected by the same people initially struck me as a recipe for disaster. Without a curatorial control over such an exhibition the end result could have been a mashing together of holidays snaps and works of art; literal representations among ICM madness. So it was with some surprise that I entered the Mall more
Polarisers, Shutter Speeds and Flowing Water
I think it would be safe to say that the vast majority of us have taken photographs of water flowing over rocks in a river at some point or other. The way water dances over stones, the way the bubbles dart back and forth and surface foam lazily traces paths through our waterways is enough to keep a photographer in action for most of a decent sized compact flash card. I was recently in Glencoe, Scotland and saw a particularly more

Creativity in Landscape Photography
We all ask profound questions about life from time to time from “why is there suffering in the world?” to "why do I have to die?” They are deep and meaningful questions, imponderables that unify us in life. So why does most landscape photography aspire to little more that “the rocks are hard” or even “the water is soft”? more
