Another post in a continuing discussion (joining this post last week) about the future of photography.
Is photography over? Of course not. But a provocative title none the less (appropriated from SFMOMA) suggesting we think more deeply about what photography was, what it now is, and where it’s going. This video here is part 1 of 3 from a great symposium back in April 2010 sponsored by San Francisco Museum of Modern Art featuring Photographer Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Peter Galassi (MOMA), Vince Aletti (New Yorker), Jennifer Blessing (Guggenheim) and others. Interesting, insightful and evocative IMHO.
If you like this, parts 2 and 3 are avail here via I Heart Photography. More video, plus transcripts avail on the SFMOMA site here.
UDD just announced they would soon leave Phan Fah and move to Rajprasong to maintain it as single base. Wise move, I believe, as Phan Fah is hard to defend in case of another attack, which is very likely.
Do you know when the archived talks will be up? Kicking myself for arriving late, missing Collins & Farah.
Given that the Thais have already been actively exercising their right to vote, the crucial issue is not democratization but rather the threat of disenfranchisement.
I live in Chiang Mai. And in March of 2009 I found out about Bangkok Pundit, and from a post there, New Mandala and have been a regular reader of both ever since, and always have read the Bangkok Post.
