Want! 90 years ago Fujifilm was founded. Because of this milestone they've released a limited edition instax mini Evo Fujfilm camera. I like the design. Difficult to choose or Dark Silver, or Titanium Gold. I like them both.
The camera comes in a premium-finish package with limited-edition strap, lens cap and camera case.
Nice website! Public.Work “an image search engine that boasts 100,000 ‘copyright-free’ images from institutions like the NYPL, the Met, etc. It’s fast with a relatively simple interface and uses AI to auto-categorize and suggest possibly related images (both visually and content-wise). And it’s fun to just visually click around on related images.”
In the 80s (OMG!!!! As the T-shirt says 'It's weird being the same age as old people') I worked for the largest international press agency in the Netherlands, ABC Press. Office was in the red light district. Pre-computer. Every morning there was a courier with a pile of mostly A4 photo's with fun paparazzi stuff but also disasters, war et cetera et cetera. A lot of photo's which I cannot 'unsee' anymore. And we had a huge archive, photo's in boxes. Historic photo's. We also represented Magnum Photo's. Can you imagine that a photographer was in a dangerous war zone and there was somebody who smuggled the filmrolls out of the country ... went to Paris ... develop the roll ... edit the photo's and send it out to their representatives.

Did you know!!?? My learning moment of the day.
The first selfie was taken in 1839 by Robert Cornelius, a chemist from Philadelphia. It took longer than nowadays. He took the lens cap off, ran in front of the lens, posed for 1 minute, and put the lens cap on again.

Behind Blue Eyes is an initiative from a group of volunteers. Give kids a disposable camera to document their daily lives. See the Ukraine through the lens of a child.
A couple of the beautiful results below. I always loved the result when my daughter took photo's as a young child.

A very nice video to watch on a Saturday afternoon.
Magnum's Raymond Depardon about the Olympics in Japan, 1964.
Beautiful photography and true quote: "… If they don’t enjoy their life at this age, they will feel like the Russians won in some way because they took control of their youth."
Whatever shit happened in my life, I always thought I won't let this situation, this person, control the rest of my life.
Photographer: Robin Tutenges - Ukrainian skateboarders.
