HP, or Hewlett-Packard, has launched Hype, a web site to celebrate street photography. Very cool

If you are in Europe, check out Photo Espana, an international photo festival out of Madrid. If you are in the US, there is the Festival of the Photograph, a three-day festival that kicks of on June 7th in Charlottesville, Virginia. And if you are old-school [just kidding] and still shoot black & white film or just love the genre so much, you can attend Silver, the second-annual international conference and print competition of black & white photography sponsored by Ilford Photo and Calumet Photographic. But you better hurry as it runs from today through April 1.

Life Is Dead Again

LIFE, the photo-heavy supplement that Time Inc. floated for some time is going away for good come April. If you were surprised, take a minute to slap yourself back to reality.

I often picked up the thin supplement in disgust. It was a last ditch effort to resuscitate a legendary brand name in publishing, but it looked pathetic. Nothing about it suggested that it would or even could stay for long. Can anybody here think of one photo essay in the new version that stood out? No? Me neither. What a shame, eh?

Oy! Let's all take a moment and pray that the zine has a better, um, after-life, as an online archive.
