This was followed by a conversation between Erich Lessing, the doyen of Austrian photography, Gregor Auenhammer and Matthias Cremer in front of 250 invited guests about photography and nothing else and how it all began, 25 years ago, when the daily der Standard<\/em>  first appeared on 18 October 1988. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
