The Black Snapper and ILEX Photo Art Editions

July 31, 2009 | Filed Under Photography, Website | Leave a Comment 

A brand new photo site The Black Snapper, thanks Keith, uses a guest curator to choose another photographer to feature. The first curator is Magnum photographer Abbas who chose to showcase Mexican photographer Maya Goded. Goded is represented by her photographs, a bio and selections from letters written while she was photographing. Goded, who spent several years associated with Magnum, won the W. Eugene Smith award for  her five year project on prostitution.

The Black Snapper site was created by designer Frank Kloos and documentary photographer Diederik Meijer who are based in Amsterdam.

You can see more of Goded images here at ILEX Photo Art Editions, a site that sells prints  and features a number of videos of various photographers talking about individual photographs. There’s also a link off the Black Snapper site.

Erica McDonald – Scribbling In The Dark

July 30, 2009 | Filed Under Online Learning, Photography, Website | Leave a Comment 

Last week I mentioned how amazing it’s become online with all the great sites and posting where you can read/listen and watch posting/stories/videos about photography and photographers. A former student, Byron Fry thoughtfully sent me this link of interviews and talks that is quite extensive.

I’ve also taken a look at New York photographer Erica McDonald’s collection of her observations at photographer’s talks she’s attended. They’re different in that they are an interesting combination of straight reportage and quotes from the events combined with her own personal observations. She calls the series of reports Scribbling In The Dark as she’s usually taking the notes that will make up these postings in a darkened room as she listens to the presentations.

She’s also an excellent photographer, very nice stories and portraits to look through on her site.
