Cool Site- Photographers in Conflict
Check out this cool site. It accompanies a gallery installation focusing on 32 conflict photographers.
From the site “The festival for photojournalism Visa pour l’Image in Perpignan (Southern France), has established itself as a solid framework for an annual gathering of the photojournalism industry. Controversial in its presentation of, and in its reflection on, photojournalism, the festival determined the environment in which Galic and Gredig in 2006 examined the group of the concerned photojournalists. In the aftermath of Abu Ghraib and the Tsunami, a cross-section of 32 photographers was invited in situ by the two artists into a Spartan, black painted studio, in order to capture their still portraits and video interviews. By isolating the photojournalists and placing them in front of their camera, Galic and Gredig reverse the asymmetrical power relationship between photographer and subject, and explore the self-perception of the photographer.”

Cool website
The Post had a good article on Toronto Photographer Jeff Harris today. Harris has been taking photographs of himself everyday for ten years; it kind of goes along with my new idea of my “where in the world” feature, where I photograph my surroundings on Thursdays around 4.
Very cool website and project.
Check it out. Jeffharris.org
