Re-photo

I was very pleased when L’Oeil de la Photographie was announced in October, produced by the former editors of Le Journal de la Photographie, a daily blog of short articles on photographers and photography which was closed by its proprietor a month before, presumably because this free resource wasn’t making enough money.  You can view the site in English or French as you prefer.

I’d looked forward to having a quick look through their free mailing every day, even though there were often days when nothing really caught my interest, and two months ago these postings resumed.

Yesterday’s was one I particularly enjoyed and spent some time looking at the splendid collection of pictures by Anders Petersen, along with some perhaps too brief comments on each of the sections of work, put together for L’Oeil  by Anne Biroleau, the curator of the show of his work at the Site Richelieu of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France in the rue Vivienne in Paris,  Anders Petersen [photographies], which continues until February 2nd 2014.

Other commitments meant I was unable to get to Paris Photo this year, and in the past there has always been less happening in the ‘odd’ years, but for 2013 there does seem to have been rather more than before, and I’m sorry to have missed it.

Also currently on show in Paris at Galerie Vu until January 11 2014 is a more recent project by Petersen, To Belong, made at a village near Modena in Italy called Finale Emilia, in the aftermath of the earthquakes in the region in 2012.

I can’t at the moment find a way to subscribe to the daily e-mails from ‘The Eye of Photography‘, nor can my RSS reader find a feed on the site.
