Take A View - Landscape Photographers of the Year 2007

A new landscape photography competition boasting a £10,000 first prize has been launched in the UK.
Take a View - the UK Landscape Photographer of the Year awards are being run in association with the AA, and are the brainchild of one of Britain's top landscape photographers, Charlie Waite.
The competition has four categories with a total prize fund of £20,000. The best images will feature in an exhibition at the National Theatre in September, as well as in a book to be published by the AA.
Waite explains: 'I am hoping that Take a View will endure for many years to come and that it will ultimately result in a sort of Doomsday book of the landscape in the UK, resulting in a collection of images which will serve as both a wonderful visual record and an expression of our nation's response to the landscape around them.'
The deadline for entries is 31 May, and details on how to enter are available at http://www.take-a-view.co.uk/.

Eugene Atget at Victoria & Albert Museum

Temporary display in gallery 38a, 29 January - 22 July 2007. Admission free

Eugène Atget (1857-1927) took up photography as a professional in the late 1880s. Details of his earlier life are shadowy. He is known to have been a sailor and then an amateur actor, which may account for the 'stage set' quality of many of his images. He seems to have lived a largely secluded life in his apartment in Paris.
