Picture(s) of the Week:
After seeing this photograph of Vitaliy Raskalov, taken recently by his climbing partner and fellow photographer Vadim Makhorov in Hong Kong, we wanted to show another "daredevil" - pioneering photographer Margaret Bourke-White who was photographed back in 1934 atop the Chrysler building in New York with a much bigger piece of kit!

The first museum in the world dedicated to the photobook is scheduled to open its permanent home in Cologne, Germany in 2016. This week the PhotoBookMuseum joined with Photoszene Festival to launch a program of more than 24 exhibitions, workshops, lectures, book signings and other activities, which will run until 3rd October at Carlswerk, Cologne-Mülheim.

With the explosion of photobooks, made possible largely by digital technology, there have reportedly been more photobooks published in the last decade than in the history of photography.
In the week that photography celebrates its 175th anniversary it seems appropriate to post a review on a new book from Phaidon, “Photography Today,” which looks at the genre from the 1960s to now.
Putting together a book of this nature is an ambitious project. There will always be contention around who is included and excluded, but there are obvious omissions in this book that are concerning...(to read the full review and see more pictures please click on the Book Reviews tab at the top of this blog).
