COMMENT
Leica M9
“Owning and working with an M Leica is like being involved with a very beautiful and intelligent woman that sometimes makes you a bit crazy with her demands.”
Luminous Landscape has published their review of the Leica M9 [Specs], a full-frame (36 x 24mm) digital rangefinder camera with 18MP resolution, no anti-alias filter, a new thicker UV/IR filter in front of the sensor, ISO 160-2500, continuous shooting 2fps, 2.5-in. (230K dots) LCD, RAW.
Editor’s note: After reading all the glowing reviews on the Leica M9, I can only concur with the saying: “Love is blind.“

2010 jury chair announced
We are pleased to announce that Ayperi Karabuda Ecer will chair next year’s World Press Photo contest. A true professional with profound experience of the photographic industry, she is currently vice-president at Reuters. Since Ecer was a member of this year’s jury, she already knows the procedure. Participants in the 2010 edition, she says, should try to make their best edit ever. She also has this advice: “Trust your instincts. Don’t try to second guess the jury. Every constellation of jurors will give different results, and there is no way you can predict their reactions.” The names of the other jurors on next year’s panel will be announced at the end of October.
Exhibition update
While we are hard at work to ensure that everything will be in order for the 2010 contest, this year’s edition of our exhibition continues to tour the world. At this point in time it is on show in Prague, A Coruña, La Paz, Budapest, Zwolle (the Netherlands), Oita (Japan) and other cities. In the next few weeks there will be openings in Maputo, Copenhagen, Toronto, Tauranga (New Zealand), Shiga (Japan), Vitoria-Gasteiz (Spain) and Vienna.

October 1 is the date we kick off our new online archive, a major educational resource for the global photographic community in the widest sense and for everyone else who is interested in photojournalism. Our aim is to provide a showcase that will promote top photography and its authors. Covering over 50 years of award-winning images, the archive features around 10,000 photographs, each of which has been carefully scanned and labeled. We are proud to share our knowledge, resources and experience in this way.
Our new archive has been designed to be as intuitive and user-friendly as possible. Going all the way back to 1955, it includes every year’s prize-winners in chronological order. It’s up to the users to decide whether they’d like to see an overview of the awarded material of a particular year, or a breakdown by the category in which it was registered. In addition, images may be accessed through an alphabetical listing of the photographers’ names, or through further search options arranged by the authors’ nationality, specific awards, and so on. There are 11 themed categories in all. Just go to the archive, and you will be shown the way.
The Mondriaan Foundation and the VSB Foundation have provided the financial means that made this project possible. To maximize its potential, however, we need more help. There are still gaps to be filled. In isolated cases, even the photographer’s name has not been recorded. We therefore appeal to you, as members of our community, to help improve this valuable new resource by sending us any additional information or images you may have.

Captures natural and smooth, high quality 3D images at 240fps
Sony Corporation today announced the development of a single lens 3D camera technology capable of recording natural and smooth 3D images of even fast-moving subject matter such as sports, at 240fps (frames per second). This technology combines a newly developed optical system for single lens 3D camera which captures the left and right images simultaneously, together with existing high frame rate (HFR) recording technology to realize 240fps 3D filming. Sony will demonstrate a prototype model incorporating this technology at “CEATEC JAPAN 2009”, to be held at Makuhari Messe convention center in Chiba city, Japan, from October 6th.
