81 preview photos: Rencontres d'Arles 2008
Lens Culture is showing 81 preview photos from the annual international photo festival in Arles, France. The theme this year is "Fashion" which is not the same as "Photographing Clothes" (although that is the title of one of the scheduled exhibitions).
I was happy to discover that there will be plenty of photography that is "off-topic" as well. Here are just three from the vast, eclectic mix. Check the Lens Culture feature for the whole preview and a high-rez slideshow.

Kind of strange when the best pictures qre from 50 years ago except for the south american stuff which looks very honest and good. What the fuck are they thinking I mean some of the images look like they came off of Flikr... Is that the best they could come up with from fashion? there are so many great fashion images and most of the picks are so obvious and redundent. Am I missing something?
