Staircase (Blue) - Courtauld Gallery / Somerset House / London (Mon 15 Sep 2014)

Laura Hutson on Vivian Maier:

On Riding a Bicycle - Ernest Hemingway / Garry Loughlin (Wed 23 Oct 2014)

Untitled - Quai de la Seine / Paris (Mon 15 Sep 2014)
Ernest Hemingway (*) writes on bicycles (*):

It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are...

On Self-Published Photobooks - Julia Borissova / Joerg Colberg (Fri 19 Apr 2013)

Julia - Avenue de Flandre / Paris (Mon 15 Sep 2014)
Joerg Colberg (*) writes on Photobooks (*) and Self-publishing (*):

Self-published in a small edition, Borissova’s (*) book (*) reached me from Russia. Here then is one of the beauties of today’s photobook boom, which to a large extent is fueled by the internet and its way of allowing for connections to be made: Stories from far away can be told and brought to one’s door step, without requiring the need of a major publisher. All it takes is an artist willing and able to make a book, and to allow for that little piece of art to sail off into the world - a piece of art not part of the electronically floating world, but a real thing, to be held and enjoyed.

Thank you and all the best Julia (*).

Also a big thank you to Joerg (*) for providing a place [The Independent Photo Book (*)] for photographers to promote their books (*).Julia - just a few metres away from the original above - Avenue de Flandre / Paris (Mon 15 Sep 2014)

Joanne and Bar du Follie (*) - Courtauld Gallery / Somerset House / London (Mon 15 Sep 2014)
Chantel Tattoli (*) writes on Art (*):

art is more than a studied eyeful. It can offer helpful instruction about day-to-day living—at times consoling, redeeming, guiding, and inspiring viewers.

A Bar at the Folies-Bergère (*) - Courtauld Gallery / London (Mon 15 Sep 2014)

what keeps art alive is exactly interpretation—talking about it, speculating about it.
