A note about a couple of opportunities to experience Saul Leiter:
‘In No Great Hurry’ A Documentary
I do like photographs when sometimes everything is lost and where in some corner something is going on you are not quite sure.

I have finally found where you can stream ‘In No Great Hurry,’ a documentary in which Leiter talks to Tomas Leach at his studio on the Lower East Side. It can be found at The Darkroom Rumour, and the film can be watched with an annual subscription or a 7-day free trial here. This documentary was shot in 2012, and covers not only his fabulous colour photography but also his life lessons, what he likes about photography and the effect he wishes to have on those who see his photographs
Saul Leiter ‘An Unfinished World’
Photographs are often treated as important moments, but really they are fragments and souvenirs of an unfinished world.”
Saul Leiter
A major retrospective exhibition of his work. ‘An Unfinished World’ is at Foam, Amsterdam in the New Year: 24th Jan to 23rd April. To quote the blurb. ‘this exhibition brings together over 200 works, consisting of black-and-white and colour photography and his abstract paintings. His unique style reveals a practice using shadow, light, and reflections to craft layered compositions.
