Format international photography festival

Format international photography festival – review | Art and design | The Observer: "Built in 1717, Derby's Silk Mill may well be the oldest factory in the world and thus the birthplace of mass production. So it's fitting that the sixth and most ambitious Format photography festival should take as its theme the single word "factory". Its curator, Louise Clements, has chosen to interpret it loosely, with the role of photography itself – the most mass-produced creative medium in the world – at the centre of the festival's exploration of bigger themes such as labour, industry, globalisation, the changing nature of work and the workplace. Compared with big, extravagantly funded festivals such as the Les Rencontres d'Arles or Photo España, Derby is a somewhat makeshift affair, and all the more refreshing for that. The hub is the Quad building in the town centre, though some of the more intriguing and interactive events are taking place in a disused chocolate factory, as well as the aforementioned silk mills. The festival has two categories: Focus, which has been curated by Clements and her team, and Exposure, comprising work selected from an open submission programme."

Reviewed: New German Photography at Goethe-Institut - Arts Desk: "In the most recent edition on view at the Goethe-Institut, Fabian Rook offers a spark of inspiration—he culls images from Google Street View and prints them as if they were landscape photographs from his own travels in Mexico, Japan, and the Middle East (bottom). The resulting washed out depictions of forlorn neighborhoods grapple with issues of authorship and technology—the next logical step in a concept pioneered by Google Earth artist Christoph Engels, whose work was shown on the same walls in 2011."

HDR Photography | High Dynamic Range Photography: “Anyone can do this!” This is what I always tell people when I speak at universities, photo clubs, seminars, and the like, and I mean it! I am very open about my process, and I made a free HDR Tutorial here on StuckInCustoms.com that describes the step by step process. If you’d like to get in deeper, I also have a bunch of videos available for download at the HDR Video Tutorial link. WHAT IS HDR PHOTOGRAPHY? HDR is short for High Dynamic Range. It is a post-processing task of taking either one image or a series of images, combining them, and adjusting the contrast ratios to do things that are virtually impossible with a single aperture and shutter speed. . . ."

Photography in Cairo exhibition challenges the meaning behind 'A7A' - Visual Art - Arts & Culture - Ahram Online: "The word "A7a" has a negative meaning in Egyptian society, though often people are not sure why it is considered a swear word. The word itself has no origin in the Arabic language, and is entirely colloqiual based. The most believed theory of the origin of the word was that during the Fatimid era in Egypt the word "to object" (Ahtag) was banned, so Egyptians started using the word "A7ta", which later turned into "A7a.""

Google does photos-only feed

Google to Facebook: We can do a photos-only feed too | Internet & Media - CNET News: " . . . The new Google+ "Photo" filter is accessible from a drop-down menu on search result pages, and lets people weed out photos from the rest of the content -- videos, hangouts, events, and other updates -- flowing through the feed. Google+'s approach to a photos-only view of content is tied to search, which means it's not the direct equivalent of Facebook's photos feed, which displays the stream of photos posted by friends. Still, the subtext behind the maneuver reads like a subtle jab at Facebook: "Hey Facebook, what you did by rebuilding your entire feed, we did with a filter.". . . "

Branding the Visual Web | Digiday: "One challenge for brands, however, is that some images work better in particular environments. Gap, for instance, has learned that shoes do well on Pinterest and polka dot patterns on Instagram. Images are clearly important to storytelling.

Expedia, for instance, uses imagery in Facebook updates that makes people stop. An image of a beautiful beach scene in the dead of winter makes those in the frostier parts of the country pay more attention — and be more likely to convert, according to Sarah Gavin, director of social media at Expedia. “The way I would put it is, a picture is worth a thousand words,” she said. “Especially nowadays, when people have less of an attention span, we are finding that people will actually transact when the image is inspiring enough.”"
