Lots of local happenings this week – an interview with Rebecca Drobis, a photo exhibit at the Newseum, Slideluck DC is looking for submissions, the Leica Store DC announced their monthly photo winner, and much more – dig in!

  • Larissa Leclair, from the local Indie Photobook Library is going to teach master photobook making classes. There is no sign up yet, but you can join the IPL mailing list for more details (bottom of the page).
  • A photo from the world’s largest pinhole camera went on display this week at National Air and Space Museum’s Udvar-Hazy Center. The massive print is a “gelatin silver photograph that measures 31 feet high and 107 feet wide.”
  • Will Calumet be returning? An announcement from C&A Marketing, the company which purchased all of their assets, leaves some hope open.
  • While this tumblr may be a little old, the advice still remains valid. Shit My Photography Professor Says has such gems as, “Don’t take pictures in graveyards. What are you even doing there? Life takes place somewhere between the beach and the graveyard.”
  • Local photographer Rebecca Drobis was interviewed by The Image, Deconstructed about her work on the Blackfeet Reservation in Heart Butte, Montana.
  • Slideluck DC is looking for new submissions for their 9th show, which will be held on June 21. The theme of the show is Solstice, and work should be submitted by May 22.
  • “The photojournalism world makes such a song and dance about ‘giving people a voice’, not least poor and war ravaged women and black people but what does that really mean if the industry is so ambivalent to passive sexism/racism?” Interesting comments on conflicts of interest and diversity in the World Press Photo awards.
  • Narrative is holding a story telling contest that includes photo essays.
  • Leica Store DC’s latest Oskar Barnack Wall winner is Lawrence Solum with his photograph titled “The Wash House.”
