“The Singled Person” is an installation of eight unsynchronized slide projectors displaying photographs by eight international photographers: Michael Ackerman, Morten Andersen, Lorenzo Castore, Thorsten Kirchhoff, Peer Kugler, André Lützen, Hisashi Murayama and Filippo Romano.

This slideshow, set to the sound of a projector, shows a sampling of the work of each photographer.

Leica Camera issued an update on the M9 / SD card compatibility issue:

For some reason the author of the article uses “Micro Four Thirds” to describe mirrorless cameras. Leica has said on numerous occasions that they are not interested in the Micro Four Thirds format.
