LET US PRAY During the Libyan conflict last year, Gaddafi’s hometown of Sirte remained one of the dictator’s last bastions of support. These rebel fighters had set up base 246 kilometres away in Misrata, and on their way along the dusty road towards Sirte they stopped to pray. Japanese photojournalist Yusuke Harada was in Libya documenting the combat, and captured the moment they bowed to face Mecca. The image has won him a place in Foto8’s Summershow; foto8.com

Your Photo in the Fantastic FOTO8 Summershow - Last Chance! Posted: 2/05/2012 17:34

The FOTO8 Summershow 2012, the UK's only open-entry, annual photography show is centred around the premise that our photographs can provide compelling and powerful ways of seeing the world and create debate over what makes a great photograph. Images from crumbling Syria to the bedrooms of Bournemouth are just some of the photographs being submitted into the competition from around the world. Casual 'snap happy' photographers have as much chance as being exhibited alongside artists and professionals from around the world - the only remit is that the images should provide a window on life, convey powerful stories and evoke questions. The deadline for entries is 15 May. [See entry details below]. In excess of 3000 images from all corners of the world are entered, some 150 will be carefully selected for display in the Summershow and offered for sale. A panel of internationally respected judges, including for 2012, BAFTA award winning artist/photographer Alison Jackson; Simon Roberts, one of the highest regarded documentary photographers of the new generation artists; Gerry Badger, foremost UK photo historian and commentator who wrote "the" book on photography; Phil Coomes, the BBC's director of online photography and Ossian Ward, arts editor of Time Out, will select an image to be Best in Show for which there is a ÂŁ2,000 prize. The winner will be announced at the FOTO8 Summershow party, on 6 July when the photographic community come out to party at a huge street celebration with more than 600 revellers taking over Honduras Street. The show opens to the public on 7 July 2012. To stimulate debate over what makes a great photograph, FOTO8 asks visitors to vote for their favourite image over the duration of the exhibition. The image with the most votes receives the Peoples' Choice Award announced two weeks prior to the close of the Summershow. This year's Summershow benefits from newly refurbished premises. The FOTO8 gallery, previously known as HOST Gallery, has been significantly expanded and will provide increased gallery space for 2012. "The opportunity to capture an image that dramatically communicates a moment in time is no longer just the reserve of the professional photographer. The FOTO8 Summershow celebrates this fact by asking everyone to put forward a picture and in doing so create an exhibition that holds a mirror to society and the lives we live now. The Summershow is also a recognised platform for new talent and a unique canvas for evolving photographic styles. This makes it hugely popular with photography collectors and enthusiasts alike" Jon Levy, FOTO8 Founder and Co-Director "Anyone can take a picture but the fun and interest is exploring what makes a great photograph. What is so exciting about this competition is that it does just this by being open to everyone across all subject matter. Choosing just one image to win is wonderfully provocative and I am very much looking forward to taking part as well as seeing the new talent coming through." Alison Jackson, photographer and FOTO8 Summershow Judge 2012 http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/paul-steele/your-photo-in-the-fantast_b_1471181.html

BUITENLAND

BA RT ST U RT E WAG E N

Zijn dit land en de rechtsstaat er beter aan toe nu, naar alle waarschijnlijkheid, de twintigjarige Parwais Sangari vanochtend op een vliegtuig naar zijn geboorteland Afghanistan is gezet? Alle bevoegde instanties, inclusief de staatssecretaris en het Europees Hof voor de Rechten van de Mens, zijn van oordeel dat hij geen recht heeft op ons grondgebied te verblijven. Zo is de wet en wetten zijn er om toe te passen, anders heerst er willekeur. Maar willekeur heerst er ook als in sommige, op het eerste gezicht vergelijkbare, gevallen een oplossing wordt gevonden en in dit geval niet. En hoe samenhangend is een beWe moeten leid dat een minderjarige eerst beseffen dat opneemt, zich laat integreren, een opleiding geeft en een baan we voortaan laat vinden en vervolgens toch een immioordeelt dat het allemaal maar schijn was? gratieland Zolang de asielprocedure voor veel nieuwkomers feitelijk de zijn enige weg blijft om een verblijfsvergunning te bemachtigen zal het dilemma blijven bestaan: Enerzijds kunnen we geen politiek van open grenzen voeren. Anderzijds kwelt het ons geweten als iemand wordt weggestuurd die een gezicht heeft en dus geen cijfertje in een statistiek meer is. Het monopolie van de asielprocedure verziekt alles. Het zet er inwijkelingen toe aan de reden voor hun komst zo bedreigend mogelijk voor te stellen. Dat creëert een sfeer van permanent bedrog. Wie kan het een aanvrager ten kwade duiden dat hij zijn verhaal aandikt of desnoods verzint? Maar het systematische misbruik leidt tot de verstrakking van de regels en de rigiditeit in de toepassing ervan. Zo kan het niet verder. We moeten leren leven met de realiteit dat we een immigratieland zijn geworden en nog lang zullen blijven. Daar zijn twee redenen voor. De vergrijzing dwingt ons om arbeidskrachten in te voeren. En de drang van miljoenen om een beter leven te zoeken als de mogelijkheid daarvoor zich aandient, zal niet afnemen. Die realiteiten louter willen kanaliseren langsheen de asielprocedure is ethisch een doodlopende straat. Het alternatief is echter evenmin vrij van morele dilemma’s. Ook landen die zich openstellen voor economische immigratie zijn verplicht de instroom te regelen. Ze stellen niet de vraag: waarvoor ben je op de vlucht? Maar: wat heb je ons te bieden? Een jongeman die van aanpakken weet en, zoals Parwais Sangari, heeft geleerd te lassen — een knelpuntberoep nota bene — zou er op die basis bij horen. Iemand met de verkeerde leeftijd, onvoldoende bekwaamheden of andere handicaps blijft in de kou. Die weg opgaan lost niet alles op. Maar het is wel de weg van het realisme. Het legt een band tussen rechten en plichten en haalt het migratiedebat uit de sfeer van emotionaliteit. Dat we vandaag moreel gekweld zijn, komt omdat we Parwais niet op die grond hebben beoordeeld.

len op televisie in het jaarverslag ‘geen bedrog’ noemt. Vandaag publiceren de tv-makers op hun website informatie die het jaarverslag van de Kansspelcommissie weerlegt. In een open brief aan de commissie uiten ze scherpe kritiek op haar omgang met de belspelen.

Geweld en corruptie kwellen Zuid-Sudan Precies een jaar geleden werd Zuid>14 Sudan onafhankelijk. Na decennia

strijd was er toen hoop en euforie. Vandaag heerst er oorlogsstemming en fatalisme. Het land leeft nog steeds op voet van oorlog met buurland Sudan over de betwiste olierijke grensstreek. Bovendien groeide het land uit tot een van de meest corrupte staten van Afrika.

LONDEN, 7 JULI 2012

De Gentse fotograaf Titus Simoens (26), verbonden aan De Standaard, heeft de hoofdprijs weggekaapt op de Foto8 Summershow, de grootste fototentoonstelling van Londen. De jury lauwerde een beeld uit zijn serie ‘Blue, See’. De fotoreeks toont het leven van jonge

tieners in de Ibis-kostschool in Oostende. Kinderen uit onstabiele gezinnen en/of met gedragsproblemen krijgen er de kans om visser of zeeman te worden. De prijs ‘Best in Show’ — er waren 3200 inzendingen weerhouden — is 2000 pond waard. © Titus Simoens

Foto8 is my go-to gallery for documentary and photojournalism. Whatever they have up, i go and see it. Right now, the gallery is presenting the 159 photo works selected for its fifth annual Summershow. There are portraits of homeless people, of Palestinian girls dreaming of peace, documentation of the Libyan civil war, stories from the war, stories from some of the coldest parts of the globe, disorder in the streets of London. Mundane moments and dramas. The public is invited to vote for their favourite image. My favourite is the lion behind bars from Felicity Crawshaw's Captivity and Rescue series. But i can't bear to watch the image again nor read the story associated to it. So no photo of the lion in this post, just this quick selection:
