I don’t even like cars especially, but I can relate to these two photographic projekts about them. The first one is a series „Vector Portraits“ (1989-1997) by Andrew Bush, who took shots of people driving in their cars by 50 to 75 mph around Los Angeles. Maybe the relation of the owners to their vehicles is so catching.

Big exhibiton in Leipzig from 27th of February until the 15th of May 2011 covering german photography from 1839 onwards from 190 photographers including Joachim Brohm, Andreas Gursky, Boris Michailov, Timm Rautert and Heidi Specker.
Photographer Chris McCaw uses a huge self built 20×24″ camera to actually burn the sun`s path into vintage photographic paper. He starts before sunrise, takes off the cap of his old, radioactive lens that was used in the 60ties for military aerial purposes and leaves the camera open for a few hours. The surface of the old paper gets burned and turns negative (solarization) because it consists of a higher percentage of silver than new materials.

The bass drum is inching forward. It is hesitating – stumbles nervously on the spot – immediately it is overrun by sounds unleashed that fill the ear to the brim. The creature sprints on the screen – and suddenly we’re on a melancholically grey trip through a tunnel. Into the silence, the drums are spreading a scenery; gentle and detailed; a proposal for bass clarinet and guitar to fill the scope with their own accentuation. Captivated by the pictures, the music whirrs in the eyes and becomes a true emotion. (mehr …)

There’s a discussion going on in Germany about „Google Street View“ and the violation of privacy rights and I still wonder what the german and international laws say exactly to that matter. What are you allowed to take pictures of and what not? (mehr …)
