| | Mar 22, 2008 | Scott Mutter (1944-2008) | | | | The American filmmaker and photographer Scott Mutter was found dead at Park Ridge, IL (USA). He was influenced by the editing and montage processes of the Russian director Sergei Mikhailovich Eisenstein (1898-1948). He moved on to creating composite photographs that he termed ‘Surrational Images‘. As he wrote:
"Each person that has worked in montage has become known for his particular way of wanting to work, so they have a particular, not just eccentricity, but a fingerprint. I think that my fingerprint is a feeling for fusion and blending and metamorphosing of elements that have a sum-a material, structural semblance."

| | Mar 21, 2008 | New version of Luminous-Lint released | | | | Thanks to all the curators, gallery owners, collectors, photographers who have been assisting with interviews and sharing your ideas with Theresa for Luminous-Lint. This website is entirely about sharing information with the community and we are most grateful for all your thoughts. You may have noticed that over the last two weeks we haven't added many new exhibitions but things have been far from quiet and so we have a new version of this website for you!
There are so many ways that this website has been improved that it is difficult to list them all but you will see:
- Improved navigation throughout the site
- The first phase of the Photobooks project
- Listings of exhibition by city
- Finding photographers by theme
- Improved ways of locating the right galleries and dealers
- Ways of seeing the most popular online exhibitions, photographers, galleries and dealers
These are only some of the enhancements and you'll find lots of others as you explore this site. One of the revealing things about this version is how it shows the amazing depth of material provided by the community. Let me know what you think and any ideas you have for how it can be improved.
I'll now get back to creating some stimulating exhibitions for you, incorporating some rare and novel content and continue preparing the MyLint area.
Best wishes
Alan

| | Feb 25, 2008 | Japanese Art Photography preserved on Postcards | | | |
On this website we have included many of the leading photographers of 19th century Japan including Felice Beato (ca. 1825 - ca. 1908), Baron Raimund von Stillfried (1839-1911) and Adolfo Farsari (1841-1898) and included exhibitions on Japan in the 19th century and Japanese Ambrotypes. This exhibition takes us into the little studied area of the pictorial photographs by anonymous Japanese photographers taken in the first few decades of the twentieth century.
Thanks to Rob Oeschle for kindly providing this exhibition.
