Location Review If you are a chocaholic photographer with a taste for medieval history and sampling a wide range of modern-day beer, there’s only one place for you to go – BRUGES, nicknamed ‘The Venice of the North’. Bruges, situated in northern Belgium about 90 minutes drive from Calais, is the best preserved medieval city in Europe. The comparison with Venice is due to its network of canals which are used to ferry tourists on their sightseeing expeditions. |

I Thought I’d Got the Hang of Film and Then They Moved the Goalposts! I remember a few years ago when certain SLPS members were extolling the virtues of “digital imaging” to anybody who was unfortunate to be within earshot that they were told (at times, quite forcibly) that it wasn’t “real” photography. Well, I can now state from experience that it is just as infuriating, time-consuming, expensive and totally addictive as photography has ever been. |

THE MARVELLOUS MR LINK Last night (4th January 2006) BBC4 screened Paul Yule’s fascinating documentary The Photographer, His Wife and Her Lover focusing on the bizarre and longwinded court case between the American photographer O. Winston Link and his wife Conchita. The case resulted in his wife being jailed for fraud and theft of Link’s work to sell for her own gain. However, besides the controversy which sadly surrounds his photographic career, Link created some of the most stunning and technically ingenuous black and white photographs of the 20th Century and has been described by John Szarkowski, former Curator of Photography at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, as “One of nature's noble men, and a legitimate American genius and nut.” |

MAGNUM: THE CONTRASTING WORK OF HENRI CARTIER-BRESSON AND ROBERT CAPA During the last 60 years, Magnum photographers have been present at the forefront of the world’s most defining and decisive moments in twentieth-century history. Bearing witness to images of conflict, famine, poverty, and political unrest, and documenting the tragedies, triumphs and follies of mankind, they created some of the century’s most memorable still images. |

TONY’S TRIP TO SOUTH INDIA We landed at Bombay shortly after midnight after flying for about eight hours from Paris and checking out through a very primitive scanning system, which we were told to by-pass because of the crowds that were building.

MEMBER BIOGRAPHY My interest in photography first surfaced at around the age of five. My father was a cinema operator at the Princess Cinema in Kirkdale. There I was allowed into the projection room where I could see how it all worked. Film fascinated me.

Photography books reviewed In case you hadn't heard, photography is going through a crisis at the moment, a spell of spiritual self-doubt. For 150 years, cameras never lied; now, it seems, they do nothing but. Born in a time of media and spin, young photographers have been struck down by anomie: a feeling that cameras are dishonest recorders, that the only decent thing to do with them is lie. |
