[Leica] Photography portal - visit to Paris Photo exhibition

Salut LUGgers
During my visit to Paris Photo exhibition yesterday where the dealers and 
galleries show off their expensive prints I also had time to visit the 
commercial area where the magazine distributors and other exhibitors are 
present. There was one which caught my eye, a photo portal called 
www.photography-now.com
I liked this site because you can specify where you live and then get a 
list of current exhibitions. It is fairly ambitious in what it is 
attempting to!
If ever you are in Paris or visiting in mid November I personally think 
this exhibition is well worth the visit! I especially liked the photos 
displayed by the Leica Gallery in Prague. What surprises me is the number 
of people wandering around with videocameras filming everything. I always 
thought this was not allowed but many people seemed to be doing it.
Lastly if you like photo magazines from all countries there was one stand 
with a huge range of european magazines as well as US/Canadian etc 
www.falsten.com.I am not associated with them but I get my Australian 
"Black and White" magazine through them along with "Leica world".
Next year perhaps we can see a few european LUG members there!
Kind regards
Jeff the kiwi (who is still grimacing after the world cup rugby loss to the 
aussi's yesterday..ouch!)
PS most expensive vintage print I saw 26,000 euros by Brassai.. not a lot 
under 5,000 euros if it was a well-known photographer but one or two 
pinhole photos for 1200 euros by someone I'd never heard of!
