From Joerg Colberg’s blog, Conscientious
- Wolfram Hahn’s portraits of children watching television are haunting
- A great list of photo and art blogs
- This isn’t from Joerg’s blog, but he guested on Jen Bekman’s blog and put up a great post about portraits.
George Barr’s blog is kinda hit or miss for me, but he has some really nice insights. The recent entry comparing music to photography really resonated with me. I’ve commented on the photo/music connection before.
Tech update! Kodak announced a brilliant but deceptively simple improvement on the digital photo sensor a week or two ago. Coverage at The Online Photographer and PopPhoto Flash.

This is an older essay that Mike Johntson of The Online Photographer wrote when John Szarkowski retired from the MoMA. Szarkowski is very much responsible for the way we think about photography as an art form now. I haven’t read much of his work apart from the writings in Ansel Adams at 100.
Mrs. Deane weighs in on Lara Jade (the 14 year old on a porno DVD cover, discussed earlier) and says it’s a hoax. While she doesn’t seem to have any proof, it’s certainly something to be considered. Now if some journalistic type could just do some… journalism,we’d be in the know.
