The daily newspaper, affectionately known as Libé, is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. In addition to an exhibition at the Rencontres d’Arles, the book 50 ans dans l’œil de Libé [50 Years Through the Eyes of Libération] collects some landmark photographs published or commissioned by the newspaper. Blind talks to those who, past and present, have contributed to the famous and inimitable “Libération style.”By Michaël Naulin

Welcome to The Leica World

Sported by the greatest photographers, Leica has defined the history of photography, and in the process became a true luxury item. Blind has traveled to Wetzlar, a small town near Frankfurt, Germany, where it all began.
