 Foto8 and HOST Gallery are pleased to announce that the award for ‘Best in Show’at the Foto8 Summer Show 2008 will go to...
Guido Castagnoli for his image: Street to the main station, Shimada City, Japan 2007 from the series “Provincial Japan”.
The panel of judges were impressed by the high standard and diversity of all the selected entries. They were particularly drawn to the colouring and mysterious 1950s, bleached effect of Castagnoli’s print, commenting: “This is an image that will continue to be intriguing each time one looks at it. It is both strange and beautiful.”

One Day at a Time - Stephen Shore's Journal |

 Though Stephen Shore’s earliest black and white photographs were favourably received, his reputation was built on two bodies of work in colour - American Surfaces
and Uncommon Places - assembled from pictures taken during a series
of 1970s road trips across the United
States.
An extraordinary third project from the era - Road Trip Journal - has languished largely unseen, until now. Like its predecessors, the Journal attests
to Shore’s fascination with the banalities of popular culture and the
idiosyncrasies of the vernacular.
Stephen Shore spoke to Guy Lane about his work, and desire to produce a distinctly impersonal diary.

Our new monthly competition is inspired by the wonderful alignment of all our stars this year to make a special day in August, 08.08.08
We want your images of 8 to launch our new competition and to commemorate this day. Maybe it's pigeons marking out the shape as they peck grain in Trafalgar Square, clouds formation that momentarily blow into place or that favorite footballer's shirt number as he scores the winning goal... the possibilities are certainly not limited by the imagination of these meagre examples.
Send your lores images (1024 pixels at 72dpi) either by:
email to foto8pictures[at]gmail[dot]com with "888" in the subject line
or
share you images with the Foto8 group on Flickr make sure images are tagged as 8
An online gallery and feed of images will grow on this site as we receive entries. As to the prize winners? A public (registered Foto8 users) vote this time to select the overall GR8TEST photograph!
