Sebastian Scotney kindly asked me if it was ok to insert an image I took from Tcha Limberger, the gifted gypsy blind musician, during a little improvised concert. Sure it is!
Here’s a link to his excellent blog, all you want to know about jazz in London! Thanks Sebastian for asking, it’s kind of rare nowadays!

As always, James Nachtwey show us great photography, fantastic technic and cropping! Here a little serie on Congo, for Time, where he had travelled with actor Ben Affleck, who is writing on the situation over there.
And here another gallery on military frontline medecine, a situation he knows to have been on both side: injured and spectator.

Another -as usual- great display of Carnival pictures from Boston’s Big Picture. I love to see the way Carnival is displayed in such different ways -and yet so similar- in each countries… (click on the image to see all pictures).

Chris Bickford - After the storm

I found Chris Bickford work by reading Tewfic El-Sawy’s Travel Photographer Blog (you should rss it!) and while Tewfic show the Paris in colours gallery, I prefer for my part the After the storm one…
Anyway, all pictures I saw from Chris’ site and blog are great, so it worth the visit! Enjoy!

As always, Alan Taylor’s Big Picture, from Boston.com, provides us with a beautiful serie of photographies, this week is about work and industry.

“When the economy makes big news, many photographs of people at work come across the wires, usually to help illustrate a particular story or event. By collecting these disparate photos over the past few months, I found that a global portrait emerged of we humans producing things. People assembling, generating, and building items small and large, mundane and expensive, trivial and important. I hope you enjoy this look into some people’s work lives around the world.” (45 photos total)

Rom interiors by Carlo Gianferro

Looking at the WPP winners, I came to this gallery of Rom interiors in Romania and Moldavia, by Carlo Gianferro, a italian freelance photographer based in Rome, Italy. The pictures are attractive and funny in the same time. I think these are the kitschiers interiors I’ve seen!
