I once read a review of a new Mercedes in a car magazine which described it as having been “carved from a solid block of unobtainium”. That’s how the S2 feels to me.
I don’t think that I’ve ever described a camera as sensuous, but with the S2 I’m tempted to. Though it’s a large camera, it feels “right” in ones hands. Every photographer that I handed the S2 had the same reaction – an instant smile.
Spending time with Duane Michals recent book, 50, was essentially re-experiencing much of my own photographic life, having come of photographic age with his Somnambulistic period. His fascination with dreams, dreamlike states and dream-walking precedes our current interest with making connections to memories. He is whimsical, elusive, sensitive, cerebral, witty, caustic, introspective, challenging and seemly always on the move, pushing boundaries along a zigzag course of his own making.

First I must warn you that this exhibition includes some “graphic images”. These are images that were not composed to conceal the results of violence. I urge you not to recoil and ask you to study these images. Try to conjure them up whenever you see a newspaper headline reporting deaths or injuries. Even if it is demoted to the back pages because too small a number of people were affected, or happened too far away.
What has been concealed in this essay are the captions. They are located every dozen or so images. This is to challenge you to face the horrible reality of conflict without immediately consulting the caption to make sure it was the other side that was the perpetrator. Alongside the images appear testimonies gathered from Israeli and Palestinian survivors, which chain the images to the context of loss.
In the spirit of the spectacle, photographer John Saponara has created a new call to arms, Picture Black Friday asks photographers to get up early and head for the malls but with a camera in hand rather than wallet.
Nigel Brennan, an Australian photographer, and Amanda Lindhout, a Canadian freelance reporter, described a hellish experience, alternating between tedium and terror.
Walker Evans (1903-75), whose work is currently (2000) on display at the Metropolitan Museum in New York, was an American photographer who produced some remarkable images, particularly in the 1930s and 1940s. He is perhaps best known, rightly or wrongly, for a series of photographs he took of tenant farm families in Hale County, Alabama in 1936. Of those probably the most famous are several 8 x 10 portraits of Allie Mae Burroughs, dark hair pulled back, tightlipped, against unpainted wooden clapboards. There are not many other photos one can think of that “stand” for a moment in history and are so widely assumed to have summed up the situation of a suffering population as these do.
Bob Jarboe was my first real boss and mentor in the world of photojournalism. He taught me things that I didn’t even know that I needed to know. I can’t say I did much in return, unless you consider having…
