Me no Leica*
A new (tacky) tack in Leica’s attempts to counteract the threat of digital photography. Seen in the Financial Times‘s absurd How to Spent It supplement. That whirring sound you hear is made by Oskar Barnack whirring in his grave.
*And yes I do know that this was the headline on Dorothy Parker’s famous review of Christopher Isherwood’s I am a Camera.

Or is it aluminium? Shot in a cafe in Woburn Place, London.

Autumn
I love this time of year. Here’s why.
The Daily Critique
Interesting (and well executed) idea — a daily critique of a submitted photograph, in the form of a downloadable video.
Hang those pictures, dammit
Magnetic photo rope. From here.
Flickr gems
I’m perpetually astonished by the originality and talent of Flickr users. See, for example, this.
Thanks to Brian for the link.
The most expensive photographs ever taken…

Evening in Donegal
The kids and I are on holiday in Donegal. We’re staying in a lovely house which looks out on the Atlantic. One of the great pleasures of the place is a stroll down to the sea at the end of the day, passing this inlet. The wonderful thing about the West coast is how long the daylight lasts. This was taken at about 9.40pm on July 31st. It was light until well after 10pm.
