Camera Work

From an RFF post by telenous:

"The NYT Lens blog published yesterday (20/6) a long-lost 1971 interview HCB gave to journalist Sheila Turner-Seed. The recording of the interview, along with a few others conducted by her at the time, sat in ICP after her death in 1979 and were rediscovered recently by her daughter, herself a photographer. (Beside the obvious interest in the interview, there's also a human story in there. The daughter of Turner-Seed came upon this discovery as she was researching the work of her mother whom she didn't really know, as she died when she was just one year old. The recording offered her the possibility of listening to the voice of a mother she could not possibly remember.)

The interview is illuminating, for although Cartier-Bresson reiterates some well-known views of his, he also goes into some detail about the way he thought of photography around that time. A brief recording from the interview is also available.

Tomorrow Lens will publish the second part of the interview -- apparently that's the bit where Cartier-Bresson lambasts colour photography. "

Sara Friedlander

Sara Friedlander

I don't know if she's been mentioned here, but I just came across a gallery showing the work of Sara Friedlander (I don't believer there's any relation to Lee).

Here's her site: http://www.sarafriedlander.com/index.shtml

If you like photos that have been manipulated to look like paintings, I think you'll like her work. I found them to be stunning. The images on her site are pretty small so its difficult to get a sense of their beauty 'in person'. The images I saw were fairly large as photos go (say 26 x 48 inches for some).

If you're in the Bay Area, you can see her work at the Saret Gallery in Sonoma. This little gallery has a truly amazing collection of some of the 'biggies' (Kertesz, Adams, Sturges, Callahan, etc..). Enjoy.
