This is a report by Steve Lake on Gilbert Duclos' Film "Off Limits", Peter Bielik's Exhibition "The Story of a Picture and the Spring of Bratislava 1968" and Peter Paul Barbara’s workshop "Malta, the Birth of Europe and the Four Elements" at the CEPIC Congress 2008 in Malta.

Excerpt:

CEPIC’S stated aim of encouraging delegates to ‘see pictures again’ at this year’s Congress in Malta may seem strange. Do 800 delegates, all engaged in the business of creating and selling photography, need to be reminded that seeing pictures is what it’s all about?

Maybe they do. Sitting in an audience of one watching Gilbert Duclos’ film ‘Off Limits’ on Saturday afternoon, it was hard to escape the feeling that the stock photography business has become all business and no photography.

A shame. Because two of the events not only showcased outstanding pictures but also raised vital issues about the business of photography.
