Favourite thing I wrote this year, for @classicphotomag: the wonderful resource that is @Akkasah_NYUAD and how a chance digital encounter with this image distracted me from my work (in the best way) 📸 Studio portrait. Photographer & date unknown. Yasser Alwan Collection, ref577

Yet another year goes by and yet again the only photography exhitions worth seeing are allegedly in London, Paris or Arles!

“How can people do something like that to beautiful landscape?” In all my time spent looking at images of Israel-Palestine, Koudelka distills the conflict into image like no other foreign photographer I’ve seen.

Best #photohistory GIF ever? via @laBnF Les Nadar exhibition website - in @Adamcbegley's wonderful book The Great Nadar (2017), he wrote that the sign was “not so subtle by day and positively bling when lit up by gas at night.” #nadar #lumiere #bling ©Jérôme Le Scanff, BnF

"We wanted to explain how beyond the conflict between these three men, their artistic, familial, & commercial ties merged." -Sylvie Aubenas in the new issue of @classicphotomag, on the 2018 @laBnF exhibition Les Nadar & expanding the scholarship around Felix, Adrien & Paul #Nadar
