Which is a relief – I quite often get excited about a new face on the online scene, only for them to fizzle out after a couple of weeks (often when it turns out it was just a student’s university project).

Anyway, BLP is worth a subscribe/follow. They’ve been doing a good run of interviews with various photographers, have just released the results of the first round of their Portrait Project and they’ve also flagged up the Library of Birmingham Self-Portrait:

During the autumn of 2011, seven photographic sessions will take place in a range of locations – in the city centre and in community libraries across Birmingham, at which citizens will be invited to take self-portraits in a studio setting, using a shutter release and a plain backdrop. Participants will be given a copy of their photo to take away. The resulting images will be used in a digital installation in the new Library of Birmingham, with potential for a future publication project.

It has it’s own website at Self Portrait Birmingham but there’s no information there about this just yet, although BLP mention an event at Ward End Library on Saturday 1st October from 10.00am-4.00pm.

    Self Portrait Birmingham:

    This site has been set up as part of the new Self Portrait Birmingham Project. The Project is inspired by the original Handsworth Self Portrait of 1979 but updated with the latest digital technology

    Nod to Podnosh for passing this my way.
