The Imperial War Museum are calling for stories, documents and pictures of the people served, held by families today. Their aim by the centenary for the IWM  is to have 8 million personal stories built on a digital platform using multi mediums. The project – called Lives of the First World War and launching next February – will see the museum returning to its founding purpose but adapting to the internet age, in what is believed to be the biggest trawl for historical information ever undertaken.

Perspectives 2012: Anna Shteynshleyger, Greg Girard, Chien-Chi Chang | International Center of Photography. What an exhibition! I am very glad that I got to saw this- especially the work of Anna Shteynshleyger with her work ‘City of Destiny’. Born in 1977 and studied Master of Fine Arts at Yale University Shteynshleyger has a passion for her photography. In this body of work, she admits it’s a personal collection; however, this is at her discretion and purposefully curated her work so that the viewer would not have a preconceived idea, rather to make their own conclusion with the narrative she is … Continue reading Perspectives 2012: Anna Shteynshleyger: International Center of Photography
