In four days time it will be the anniversary of old Albert’s birth. This fact reminded me of a pic I shot a little while ago…a stonemason here in Bristol – Mike Blow- phoned me up and told me that he’d made an exact replica of Einstein’s brain out of marble. And not just any [...] “In times when (some) photographers hold celebrity status, it is useful to be reminded that a good photograph does not solely depend on the photographer’s ability to choose the right subject, location and light, but also on the chemistry and the collaboration, between photographer and subject…Despite my deep sympathy for socially inclined photographers, when the [...] If you are a young photojournalist with aspirations of photographing war & destruction, famine and suffering and think that your pictures are ever going to change the world well this show should show you that you are on a hiding to nothing.

Alex his name was, and everyone was terrified of him, [...] The POYI multimedia judges have picked this powerful audio slideshow by Liz O.
