Bite! magazine<\/a> is an interesting project that presents one photographer every day with a\u00a0 slideshow of their work and a brief text. The photographers are selected by guest curators, including some well-known names. And although Bite! is a stage for emerging talent, with a special focus on photographers from Asia, Africa and South America, the photographer whose work drew my attention to it was an American I first wrote about admiringly some years ago.<\/p>\n

I can’t remember now how Ami Vitale<\/a> first came to my attention, but I do remember our meeting each other at a glittering reception in a Polish castle at the first Bielsko-Bialo FotoArt Festival in 2005 where both of us were showing. She was a fan of my web site and I was very much a fan of her work, and I still am. Perhaps one day I’ll get back to some real writing too, but really photography is more fun.<\/p>\n

As curator Hannamari Shakya says about her work, “She gets close with people<\/em>” and it really shows in her pictures and it is very much how she is. The set of Vitale’s pictures at Bite! <\/a>is the first of her work I saw, from Guinea-Bissau, and it still has the same powerful impact for me.<\/p>\n

There are a lot of other sets of images on the site, and most of those I took a brief glance at looked worth exploring further when I have the time, and I’ve added the site to my RSS feeds to remind me to do so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
