“The girl with the bow dress” by Jamie Beck

Some ran­dom pho­to­graphy related links which have caught my eye over the last few days:

• From Me To You: a pho­tog­ra­phy blog by Pho­tog­ra­pher Jamie Beck. Such a sim­ple idea, which he calls a “Cin­ema­graph”, but absolutely stun­ning — add a lit­tle bit of move­ment into the image. Many, many, many men­tions of the magic photo’s in the Harry Pot­ter movies. I might have to give this idea a try.
• Pho­tog­ra­phy Book Now by Blurb: PBN is an inter­na­tional juried com­pe­ti­tion cel­e­brat­ing the most cre­ative, most inno­v­a­tive, and finest self-published pho­tog­ra­phy books – and the peo­ple behind them. The log­i­cal des­ti­na­tion for the images I am work­ing on at the moment (South East Asia, 2003) is a photo book; this might speed thinks up a bit!
• Paid-For Pho­tog­ra­phy Com­pe­ti­tions: Speak­ing of com­pe­ti­tions, Haje Jan Kamps has a very timely and inter­est­ing per­spec­tive. Would have been more timely if it was before I entered the Head On Por­trait Prize!
