A week at Visa pour l’Image in Perpignan, with a tribute to founder Jean-François Leroy and three photo essays, plus news that the BJP has paused print and LIFE magazine is returning.
Thank you Gavin for your always thoughtful, inspired and motivational writing. This newsletter is also always worth a pause, and a coffee and the time is deserves to be read.
Thank you for this. I’ve been wanting to go to Visa Pour L’image since I first learned about it. Hoping to check it out next year. For me, photography means curiosity and discovery.
Once again a stunning post covering such a wide variety of topics with you classic insight, mastery of words and ability to connect to the zeitgeist. So glad you are back posting. Photography for me in three words? Mmmm… my first thought was B****y hard work! But then I pondered some more, how about ‘capturing your perspective’.
Thank you, James. I think your first suggestion is my favourite. Although anything that references our personal perspectives works well too. Good luck!
Welcome back. I do wish one of the world's billionaires would decide to sponsor the arts rather than another data centre. It'd be pocket change to them to ensure BJP or Life or even traditional long form National Geographic pieces could continue to be made, printed and affordably distributed.
Thanks, Craig. I wonder why sponsoring the arts isn't appealing to the tech bros. Even if they can't appreciate it or don't understand it, it's got to be worthwhile as a PR exercise. Who knows? I'll add it to the growing list of things that I don't have an answer for.
