Not politics, just very cool. Sounds like a book worth grabbing.
As I've said before the internet has proved to be a great place for photography. It has allowed photographers to meet, exchange views and ideas as well as allowing instant access to pictures from the other side of the world.
Whether you are a professional or keen amateur photographer you can now share your work with others and engage with those who have a passion for the same subjects or styles of photography. Digital photography has opened up many new avenues of contact and expression.
However, there is nothing quite like seeing your own work in print. To hold in your hand a single picture, or indeed a book of pictures remains very satisfying.
One group that has gone from the virtual to the real is a collection of photographers in Malta who met on Flickr where they are known as Flickristi.
The group has just published its first book, Malta Seascapes, which includes the work of more than 30 photographers and focuses on the coastline of Malta. The launch was accompanied by an exhibition which was hosted at the Malta Maritime Museum.Lots more photos via the link above.
Each photographer has a number of pictures included in the book, each showing off their particular style, from dramatic colour landscapes to thunderous black and white rolling clouds.
