The Nile Queen

Links to two items I have really enjoyed:
An interview between the lovely Chris Keeney (CK on Flickr) and pinhole photographer Katie Cooke. I hadn’t encountered her work until now, and am grateful to CK for taking the time to talk to Katie and bring her work to my attention.

A link from Kirsti, to a montage of 500 years of female portraiture on YouTube. It’s wonderful to watch, but it bothers me almost all the featured drawings/paintings are of white European females.

On Friday, one of my photos from this same series was featured on the front page of Utata.org. The text was wonderfully written by Greg Fallis, and couldn’t be more perfect an accompanyment. It was a wonderful treat to end the week with.
