Willy Ronis le bellevillois

You know how one thing leads to another on the internet. A Google search takes you to a site that links to something else, and bada-boom bada-bing you’ve spent hours on YouTube or Camerapedia.
Well, yesterday a Todd Hido podcast led me to the name Willy Ronis, and I wondered, “why have I never heard of this guy before?”

It turns out that Ronis (1910–2009) was a French photographer, born to Ukranian/Lithuanian refugees, who grew up in Paris and later became the first French photographer to work for Life Magazine.

The following is a six-piece selfportrait (according to the title) followed by what has to be one of the last interviews of Ronis.
The last clip unfortunately doesn’t have English subtitles, but is still worth a watch. Profitez!

Cameras in music videos … Leica × Sol

Unlike previous episodes of Cameras in Music Videos, the Leica M7 in this video looks more like product placement than just a prop.

Anyway, Sol does his thing, and the M7 definitely is ‘This Sh#t’.

The other day I came across a photograph on flickr depicting a barefooded man in black suit and tie, standing like he had just ripped a cow’s throat out.
The person who had posted this image was not the photographer, but was kind enough to mention the name ‘Pieter Hugo’.
I immediately had to find out who was behind this name, and as I dug into the internet, I was amazed.

Building upon his previous projects – Maze and British Watchtowers – Wylie’s new work continues to interrogate the architecture of conflict, and derives from the idea of vision and power. Wylie was recently embedded with Canadian troops in Afghanistan’s Kandahar province. From here he surveyed the military outposts which commanded multiple lines of sight, with dominance over vast swathes of land.

Cameras in music videos … Polaroid × Michael Jackson

In 1983 Michael Jackson escaped the lense of a Polaroid Autofocus 660 in the video for Billie Jean.

Surrounding the Polaroid is what appears to me as a bunch of Mamiya Z-series cameras, but what’s more important: Is that a (Dirty) Diana I see there in the upper left corner?! Your expertise is required.
