We Are All Photographers Now by Jonah Samson

The Musée de l'Elysée in Lausanne, Switzerland has developed an interactive exhibition called We Are All Photographers Now!, which hopes to respond to the rapidly changing world of photography in this digital age.

The show, which began on 2 February and will run until 20 May, is soliciting photographic submissions from people all over the world, and has currently received images from almost 7,500 photographers from 128 countries. Anyone who is interested can submit a photo online.

Each week a hundred images will be chosen at random by a computer and printed in archival quality. The selections will then be shown in the museum for 1 week before being replaced by the next selection. All photos included in the exhibition will be entered into the permanent archives of the Musée de l'Elysée. If your photo is selected, the museum will also send you an email with an installation view of your work as it was shown in the gallery.

David Lynch: Dark Night of the Soul
by Julie Wolfson A physical exegesis of the album Dark Night of the Soul, controversial filmmaker David Lynch collaborated with the album's creators—Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse—to create a two-room installation at the Michael Kohn Gallery in Los Angeles. The intermingling of the music and photos was no accident. A huge fan of Lynch, Danger Mouse approached the filmmaker about working together on a project. Lynch,...
Avedon Fashion: 1944-2000
Of the many insights to be gleaned from the upcoming exhibition at the International Center of Photography featuring the work of Richard Avedon's work from 1944-2000, I found it particularly fascinating that the photographer would forge such intense connections with his subjects that he would often leave sittings feeling embarrassed over what they shared. The show explores these intimate relationships and his many contributions...
Peter Sutherland: Hot Coals Only
Following the wild success of his first NYC solo show earlier this year, photographer Peter Sutherland is doing what he does best and hitting the road for an encore solo show opening at the Hope Gallery in L.A. this weekend. Sutherland, who's also a documentary filmmaker, is as interesting himself as the subjects he chooses. A Chameleon-like style—though his lumber jack beard is consistent—and...
