An original approach for this conference which aimes to explore photography’s business history.
The Public Life of Photographs
A conference on photographs’ life out there in the big world.
Photography and War
Not really a cutting edge subject but it looks like the exhibition just opened in Houston is quite interesting.

Gernsheim Collection
Many historical photographs from the Gernsheim collection in Austin – Texas – on display at Mannheim. Among the others, a certain heliography taken by a certain Niepce, taken in 1826, Point de vue du Gras. And then, Daguerre, Capa, Cartier-Bresson…
La fotografia come fonte per la storia
A three-days conference in Venezia on the subject this blog is mainly about. I am somewhat perplexed about the programme but I think it will be worthwhile, all in all.
PETER E. PALMQUIST MEMORIAL FUND FOR HISTORICAL PHOTOGRAPHIC RESEARCH
4oo to 1000 $ to study women photographers. It’s the Peter Palmquist memorial fund. Good luck!
Faking It
Photos have so many ways to lie. One is manipulation.
The Metropolitan museum will devote a major exhibition to the subject: Faking It. Manipulated Photography before Photoshop. In the meantime, an installation will explore manipulation After Photoshop.
Phaidon presents it with some more details than the Met website.
Martine Franck
Buying, selling…
It’s been a while…
Troubles in the business?
So it seems. Alinari 24 ore and Getty images are undergoing some big changes.
Tools for detecting image manipulation
An interesting article on PDN about a new software to detect manipulations in digital photos.

No money, but a chance to be published for the lucky winner and an exhibition in Rome, during the “birthday party” on 9th June.
The call will be closed on 15th May, and not on 25th Aprile, as written in the site.
