The Lost Boys of Sudan, an exhibition by Chris Peken, is a show I'm starting on Tuesday. It was a bit of a surprise as I deleted my system folder to make room for a scratch disk (I'm sticking to darkroom stuff) and lost a fair bit of info, bookings etc. Another surprise was they are to be 30" murals on Fibre Base paper..... The images are awesome and their stories remarkable. This is a crowd funded exhibition, with proceeds from the sales at the show going directly to the Lost Boys. For more on the exhibition and help fund the project please click<br /><br /><br />

<p>All the images has been shot on 6x6 B&W film. Chris self funded this project and Blanco Negro is proud to be a sponsor. Oh, and I have an exhibition opening tonight, or did I mention this already!!<br /><br /><br />
PS good luck to Bradley Scott, Avery, Tristan, Chris and Steven for their show opening this evening at 10x8 gallery, Sydney. It's called "My Element"

Lowy has been an outspoken advocate for, and a leading practitioner in, phone photography in professional photojournalism. An iPhone image from his coverage of Hurricane Sandy was recently selected as a cover of Time magazine.

In this presentation Benjamin will explore his use of smartphones in photojournalism and participants will gain insights into this award winning photographer’s technique and fascinating biography.

He will later be joined for a panel discussion by fellow World Press Photo award-winner writer, curator and activist, Shahidul Alam and Head On Photo Festival Director Moshe Rosenzveig.
