And it’s worth mentioning that Philippe’s site is fine example of a cleanly presented, easily navigable site. There aren’t enough of them!
Whilst we are primarily concerned with contemporary photography here at Nova, occasionally it can be worth looking back. So today our pick is this impossibly luminous image from Josef Sudek:

There’s also a piece at Foto 8 from Michael David Murphy discussing photojournalism and the Haiti crisis.
Nova and Nova photographer Ben Roberts donated a medium sized framed print of ‘Glen Feshie, 6:30am’ to the charity VSO UK for their auction and raffle at their Christmas Concert and Dinner.
Glen Feshie, 6:30am
Rachel Watts, VSO’s Events Manager, thanked Nova and Ben for the contribution: “Thank you again for your generous donation, it was wonderful to be able to display such a beautiful print at dinner and it contributed greatly to the £951, which was raised through the raffle. To put your donation into context, £500 can train and provide initial funds to 10 HIV+ women in Mozambique to start their own business, giving them and their children income and hope, so we are incredibly grateful for this life-changing donation.”
In total the event raised £49,000 for VSO’s development work.
Today’s images are from Rena Effendi’s series on being twenty-something in Tehran:

The pick today isn’t an image, but a video interview with ‘Master’ photographer Bil Brandt. The video is part of a 1983 BBC ‘Master Photographers’ series.

It’s striking that in the interview he comes across as a rather quiet and slightly reticent individual. However the sort of documentary and photojournalism he excelled at would indicate that when he had a camera in his hand he was a purposeful individual.
The video can be found here. It’s in four parts. You may need to scroll through the thumbnails to get to it.
