500 Photographers August 5, 2010
Posted by bohdan.warchomij in : Art, Australian photographers, New Media , add a commentWell worth a look at. For creatives, for people interested in photography and for professionals. Interestingly, the list so far numbers 89 photographers and number 87 is Jane Burton, a fine art photographer from Melbourne I met a couple of trips ago.
Jane Burton, 1966, is an Australian photographer. She has been in various exhibitions (group and solo) and her work is held in numerous private and public collections. Her photographs are dark, mysterious and often poetic. She often combines images of landscapes together with portraits. The following images come from the series Velvet Portrait Suite, Ivy and Wormwood.

“500 photographers is a weblog that posts 5 active photographers a week for 100 weeks. The photographers can be from any discipline within the photographic range, but they have to be worth looking at and have a certain level of quality. When we get to number 500, we will have a deep database of great photographers.”
Peter Wisse
It is certainly interesting looking down the list. Philip Toledano, who has been written about in this blog, gets an early mention. It is worth savouring this list in a slow and deliberate manner.
500 photographers is done by Pieter Wisse, a photographer himself based in Rotterdam, NL and owner of Four Eyes Photography & Art

The Detour
30 January – 14 March 2010
Fremantle Arts Centre
Everybody loves a fun park – even a derelict one. In his first solo exhibition, Justin Spiers produces a record of what remained after the crowds dissipated.
The Detour was shot on location at the Castle Fun Park on the outskirts of
Mandurah. A collection of images on medium format film, Spiers presents a record of the Park’s demise into its current state of disuse.
Where once stood a fantastic Disney neighborhood, Spiers captures the disquietbetween the dizzying structures and their bush setting, suddenly realized once left A meting pot of Bavarian castles and tudor villages, these European architectural styles appear alien on the harsh Australian landscape. In reality, though, Spiers’ uneasy imagery documents the all-too-familiar marks of bushfire on the fantastic.
At once seductive and repellant, Spiers’ photographs create a somewhat tragic montage of the Park’s history – in which the unnatural collision of castle and country has occured, and has been left behind with consequences of bushfires and encroaching suburbia emblazoned on its eerie horizon.
Justin Spiers is a Western Australian photographer currently based at Red Gate Gallery in Beijing, China. He has participated in numerous exhibitions Australia-wide, and has previously endeared himself to pets and their owners as co-presenter of Pet Photo Booth.
