Spring in Paris? For photographers it might be fall in Paris. The NY Times has a couple of articles on the Paris Photo Fair and an offshoot Mois de la Photo Off.

The Province has an interview with David Campion about his work ‘Memory And The Valley’ being shown during The Memory Festival.



Interviews With Photographers

October 30, 2010 | Filed Under Featured, Literary Photographer, Photography | 1 Comment 

I hope to start posting new interviews with photographers shortly. In order to give you an idea of what I hope to post here are a few links to interviews with photographers from my literary site Literary Photographer. I’ve put that site on hiatus in order to concentrate my energies here. These interviews all have a connection to writing but give you a pretty good insight into the photographers and the work featured.
