New York Festival 2008 -

 New York Photo Festival is just a few days away and I'm looking forward to soaking in both the main shows and the satellite shows, seeing some old friends, and meeting our guest bloggers Andrew and Michael . Reading over Max Houghton's interviews with Kathy Ryan , Martin Parr and Lesley Martin, and Jon's conversation with the founders Frank Evers and Daniel Power, I'm starting to get a sense of the concepts guiding the curated shows, and I'm looking forward to experiencing the kinds of linkages between pictures that you can only get in an exhibition space. In the meantime, I'm thinking about what this means for documentary photography and photojournalism.

 So what’s in this New York photo festival for someone like me? Foto8 guest blogger, Andrew Hetherington ("What's the Jackanory?"), dives in to find out.
I have never been to any of the big photo festivals like Recontres
d’Arles, Visa Pour L’Image Perpignan, Contact Toronto or Photo Espana.
Actually I have never been to a photo festival but as luck would have
it I now have one in my own back yard; so no excuses with the inaugural
New York Photo Festival aka NYPH 08 coming to town this week. New York
has long been at the epicenter of the photography scene so isn’t it
about time it gave back and hosted an internationally recognized event
of its own.

INTERVIEW WITH NEW YORK PHOTO FESTIVAL FOUNDERS
by Jon Levy
 This month Daniel Power and Frank Evers launch the first
inaugural New York Photo Festival. It’s a joint initiative between the
owner of powerHouse books and the managing director of VII photo agency that includes participating galleries and venues creating a neighborhood
of photography for four days in Brooklyn.
The festival is
billed as “The Future of Contemporary Photography” but with such a
weighty claim, I tried to find out what place photojournalism occupies
in this new neighborhood of photography.

 Patriotism, flag-waving and
Englishness are once again making the news – just as Simon Roberts packs his
bags for a 5 month road trip around the country to document the leisure
pursuits and pastimes of the locals. Before leaving he spoke to Guy Lane about We English, an ambitious new project
exploring national identity, recreation and what it means to be English.
