New series: PHOTOGRAPHY Weekly

PHOTOGRAPHY Weekly is a mini guide to photographic and visual events in Poland. At the beginning of the week, you'll find our suggestions for exhibitions, events, festivals and other events worth seeing - not only photography-related, but also ones that are simply worth feeling, seeing and experiencing.

Andrea Fraser The biggest difference is that technology and the internet has speeded everything up tremendously in just a few years. We take the instant transmission of photos and text for granted. As a photojournalist for 60 years, I well recall a different time when I would send packages of undeveloped rolls of film with hand written captions to editors all across the world. DHL and FedEx were vital for my international work, even the regular mail system on occasion. Then digital cameras and the internet came along, changing everything, and a lot more time had to be spent at the computer. Newspapers were the first to take advantage of the technology as they require a quick turnaround for news stories and photo quality was less demanding. It took longer for color magazines to adapt, the sort I worked with, who had to wait until digital photography improved. Online media didn't exist at all until relatively recently but it certainly didn't kill print media, as some predicted. Art must hang
