William Eggleston to receive Outstanding Contribution to Photography award

Posted by on The BJP tells us that William Eggleston is to be awarded a prize for his outstanding contribution to photography, can’t even think what his honest response to that might be…..try any of these
I don’t have a burning desire to go out and document anything. It just happens when it happens. It’s not a conscious effort, nor is it a struggle. Wouldn’t do it if it was. The idea of the suffering artist has never appealed to me. Being here is suffering enough.




















“Recognised today as the pioneer of colour photography and the personal documentary style, William Eggleston has been producing cutting-edge work for over 50 years,” say the organisers of the Sony World Photography Awards, which has selected the US photographer at this year’s recipient of the Outstanding Contribution to Photography award.

SELECTED PORTFOLIO REVIEW
The Selected Portfolio Review is for established or up-and-coming photographers, wanting to expand their international contacts with world-renown institutions, galleries and book publishers. In this section, 15 internationally renowned experts from the field of photography (gallery owners, curators, editors, etc.) all of whom can make a difference to working photographers, will review the portfolios of 40 photographers over the course of two days. Participants will be scheduled to have eight 25-minute one-on-one reviews with these experts. Applicants will be pre-approved by a jury.
Application to the Selected Reviews is now open!
THE PHOTOGRAPHY FEEDBACK REVIEW
The Photography Feedback Reviews are open for all photographers. Photographers can choose among professional photographers, art directors and photo agencies to present their photographs for. You choose yourself which reviewers to see, how many reviews to attend and when. The reviewers are well-established photographers as well as professionals with extensive experience of working with images within different genres. You book each review session separately thereby creating your own schedule based on your particular interests.

Bob Dylan the new Henri Cartier Bresson….?
September 28, 2011
Posted by on Sean Michaels writes in the Guardian
“When it comes to painting, Bob Dylan may not be such an original. The 70-year-old singer has been accused of replicating several famous photographs in his new art show. The Asia Series includes paintings that seem like acrylic reproductions of images by Henri Cartier-Bresson, Dmitri Kessel and Léon Busy.”…more I say what about the dull boring music?
