Jeff Ladd's Books on Books
Wednesday 17 September 2008
Jeff Ladd has started an exciting new project, under the umbrella of his publishing company ‘Errata Editions’.
The ‘Books on Books’ series is an on-going publishing project dedicated to making rare and out-of-print photography books accessible once again to photobook enthusiasts.
Each edition presents the entire content, page for page, of an original master bookwork that has, until now, been too rare or prohibitively expensive for most of us to experience. These are not facsimiles, but complete studies of those original masterpieces. Through a mix of classic and contemporary titles, the series will span the breadth of practice as it has appeared on the printed page, allowing further study into the creation and meanings of these great works of art.
The first two-thirds of each book shows, page for page, every spread of the original. But Jeff has also commissioned some of the finest writers on photography to contribute a 3000-4000 word essay about each book. As well as discussing the photography, the essays also look at the book object itself, and its relevance in the history of the medium. Other chapters include a short essay on the original book’s production, as well as biographic and bibliographic information of each artist.
You can find out more at Jeff’s fantastic 5B4 website.

A Very Odd Campaign
Sunday 20 April 2008
As street photographers, we naturally share the concerns felt by many in the photographic community about the recent anti-terror poster campaign from the Metropolitan Police in London.
The campaign has created considerable confusion, and not a little anger. But it’s important to remember that the law regarding filming and taking photographs in public spaces has not changed. There are no restrictions on taking photographs on public land and in public spaces in the UK.
However, the campaign highlights a shifting attitude towards photography in public spaces, and threatens to taint photographers everywhere. Of course public safety is a legitimate concern, but there’s nothing ‘odd’ or necessarily suspicious about taking photographs. And given the varying interpretations of ‘odd’ behavior different people will have, it’s difficult to see the campaign leading to much more than a slew of misguided reports, a lot of wasted police time, and increased harassment for innocent photographers.
Photographing in public places is a basic freedom. We need to monitor these sorts of developments very carefully, and when necessary speak out.

Online Street School
Saturday 19 April 2008
Dan Epstein 2008
The web has spurred a revival of street photography, and now there’s a site devoted to students of this exciting and challenging approach to candid photography.
Friend of In-Public Mason Resnick has launched a new website, The World at Street Level, which promotes street photography by showing student work, and providing resources for aspiring street photographers.
The site is dedicated to the work of students of the Perfect Picture School of Photography online course, Street Photography: Finding Order in Chaos. It’s now showing photos by students who’ve completed the first session of the course.
The World at Street Level offers galleries featuring students who have completed Resnick’s street photography course, as well as information about street photography, and testimonials from students who have taken the course.
Mike Mackay of Lichfield, UK, says the class “has ignited in me a passion for photography that I’m finding difficult to contain. A great course!” Meanwhile, Gary Budke of San Fransisco, CA, says that the class “has opened my eyes to a whole new type of photography.”
The four-week course in street photography begins on April 25. Registration is now open here.

Street Photography of the Gold Coast
29 Mar 2008 – 11 May 2008
Jeff Carter, John Gollings & Trent Parke
Street life is our shared experience of common places.
The Gold Coast has a very particular street culture of holidaymakers, beachgoers, surfers, glamorous figures – and its fair share of lost souls.
By definition, the street is a very public space – but there are also private, unseen, transitory moments. Moments captured by the keen eye of the photographers in this exhibition.
Jeff Carter worked as a news and freelance photojournalist before coming to the Gold Coast regularly from the mid-1950s. John Gollings, now best known for his architectural photographs, made a study of Gold Coast street scenes in 1974. And Trent Parke has taken the most recent work in the exhibition, over the past year. Parke’s images may look like the results of chance, but they are the result of prolonged and careful observation and great patience.

Manifesto
In-Public was set up in 2000 to provide a home for Street Photographers.
Our aim is to promote Street Photography and to continue to explore its possibilities, we are a non commercial collective. All the photographers featured here have been invited to show their work because they have the ability to see the unusual in the everyday and to capture the moment. The pictures remind us that, if we let it, over-familiarity can make us blind to what’s really going on in the world around us.
