The work of one of fashion’s most notorious, controversial photographers - Guy Bourdin - is exhibited in a one-off collection of over 40 works at London’s Bloomsbury Square until November 24 2007. Having shot campaigns for Chanel, Ungaro, Loewe and Charles Jourdan, Bourdin made a name for himself with the erotic, sometimes morbid images he projected onto the pages of British and French Vogue. Watch as Bourdin expert Charlie Scheips guides us around the photographer’s most iconic images and hear Bourdin’s son, Samuel, talk about his all-time favourite photo in a rare interview.

An interesting short film about the legality of taking photographs on the streets in the UK. There’s a nice interaction between the photographer and a couple of Police Community Support Officers in Central London.

For those who are unfimilar with CSO’s, these are not Police Officers, though they are uniformed personnel working with the police in England and Wales. Their function it seems is:

‘…to provide a visible and reassuring presence on the streets and tackling the menace of anti-social behaviour.’

You can draw your own conclusions on that!

NB The bit about having to ask for permission before taking photographs in Railway Stations is somewhat misleading as you don’t have to have prior permission - not at the moment anyway

Link to a letter written by Home Office Minister Tony McNaulty confirming that there are no legal restrictions on taking photographs in public places:

Fast-motion video of a scenic drive from Te Anau to Queenstown, New Zealand (original video was 40 minutes). Along the right-hand side are The Remarkables mountain range, and on the left-hand side is Lake Wakatipu. The soundtrack, “I Don’t Feel Like Dancing”, is by the Scissor Sisters, and is a song that we listened to incessantly along the trip.
