The Observer‘s site is offering a “monthly guide to the 20 best photographic exhibitions and books” in the form of a slide show. In the span of just 2 minutes and 20 seconds, you can update yourself on the photo world’s latest and greatest, and they’ve included detailed captions, so you don’t even have to click on the links to feel sufficiently informed. Pretty nifty. (I learned of the slide show by way of http://photojournalismlinks.com/.)
Among the shows and books they’ve spotlighted this month:
.
Sophie Ristelhueber at The Photographers’ Gallery, London.
