George Georgiou Fault Lines Side Gallery

For the second time the Side Gallery in Newcastle are showing George Georgiou's work.
This time they're showing his work from Turkey.
I was going to upload a couple of pictures, but for some reason the "upload image" button has decided to go on holiday.
If anyone's in the North of England tomorrow George will be giving a talk about his work.
2pm start

William Klein in Rome

And to add to the excitement we managed to catch the opening of William Klein's work from the late 50's in Rome at the Mercati di Traiano, I was a real pleasure to see the great man himself...i will not forget.

The Birth of George's book

We are in Rome for the printing of George's book.
This has been too long in the waiting, but for sure worth every minute, hour, year he has spent making this work.
Here are a few images from the printing house.

Side Gallery

The Side Gallery along with Amber films and cinema has a long history, and is one of the only galleries in the UK completely devoted to documentary photography and film.
The Side is a real gem and has supported many photographers over the years.
One of my early favorite photographers, Chris Killip was one of the directors of the early days of the gallery in the seventies.
Killip's In Flagrante has recently been remade as one of the Books on Books series by Errata Editions.
The Side also has an incredible archive including Killip, Weegee, Iturbide,Konttinen, Chapman, Davies, Steel Perkins....and more.

Paul Strand

Just for the hell of it....have a bit of a look around the net

Arja Hyytiäinen

I just wanted to write a post about a photographer whose work I really like.
I first met Arja Hyytiäinen at the offices of VU, the agency we are both members of.
We were both nervously preparing to visit a publisher...
Arja's book Distance Now published by Images en Manoeuvres is now available from VU as a special edition.
Arja currently has an exhibition on at the V8 gallery at Mohrenstrasse 2, 50670 Cologne.

Rafal Milach

I met Rafal Milach at last years World Press Photo in Amsterdam, so I was delighted to hear he'd won this years Photography Book Now award.
I thought it would be interesting to make a joint exhibition with my own work from the Black Sea sometime.
