I ruined a perfectly good pair of underpants when I saw all the work that's to be exhibited . I hope you're sitting on the bog here Kras as Vivian Maiers works going to be on display. Bruce Gilden, Richard Kalvar & Chris Steele-Perkins are putting on The Magnum Workshop
Nick Turpin will be providing portfolio reviews.
He's also made a film for format called 'in-sight'

I've punched all the air out of Keane HQ. I'm going outside, might even take a shot or two.
There are some fantastic showings. Surprised to see Amy Stein in there, been a fan of her for a long time and good to see.
ReplyDeleteYeah you wouldn't really think of Stein as a street photographer . The shots she did of the kids on Halloween are streetish but more portaits really.
ReplyDeleteDamn good ones
