HAPPY NEW YEAR
First of all I hope that your holiday season is going well - I‘m
surrounded by piles of new photography books and I
hope the same goes for you.
May I wish you an inspiring and visually stimulating New Year,
Alan
Amid all the general merriment I managed to mount the following new exhibitions on Luminous-Lint:
Contemporary photography
Nineteenth century, vintage and photobooks
| Photo LA (Thu Jan 10, 2008 - Sun Jan 13, 2008) |
Photo LA is the leading event on the West Coast for collectors and connoisseurs of fine photography and Luminous-Lint
will be there as we were last year. Many of you will be in Los Angeles for this fair and I hope that you will come over to say hello.

Cec Bown (1938, 1 January - ) was born - Australia, Sydney.
Australian monochrome photographer and bromoilist.
Kevin Dingman (1964, 1 January - ) was born - US, IA, St. Paul.
Contemporary bromoilist.
Kawada Kikuji (1933, 1 January - ) was born - Japan, Ibaragi Prefecture [Ibaraki Prefecture].
Japanese freelance photographer - more recently his works have concentrated on astronomy as in his 1995 book ‘The Last Cosmology‘.
Alfred Stieglitz (1864, 1 January - 1946, 13 July) was born - US, NJ, Hoboken.
Stieglitz revolutionized American photography, opening The Little Galleries in New York, showing art and photography in juxtaposition, creating the seminal photography publication Camera Work, encouraging young photographers like Steichen, Strand and Weston and creating work which gave photography the serious sophistication and the class it had never had before. It is hard to imagine in what direction photography would have gone had Stieglitz not been involved. He had the energy, the drive, the artistic vision and the determination of ten men and the enemies to prove it.

Edward Weston (1886, 24 March - 1958, 1 January) died.
American landscape, still-life and nude photographer with a fascinating private life. Like Steichen before him, he experimented with photographing everyday objects, vegetables, nudes, dunes, using lighting and camera angle to show the item in a completely new light. He worked for the government on the Farm Security Administration project and set up the f/64 Group.
