Stephen Mallon and Stefanie Gordon: From Air to Sea
My two favorite images from the weekend, with a similar theme.
There’s a Situation in the Situation Room
Oh yes. Thank you, The Atlantic. I was riveted by the original image, but these are spectacular.
The Real Deadwood, by John C.H. Grabill
Between 1887 and 1892, John C.H. Grabill sent 188 photographs to the Library of Congress for copyright protection. Grabill is known as a western photographer, documenting many aspects of frontier life — hunting, mining, western town landscapes and white settlers’ relationships with Native Americans. Most of his work is centered on Deadwood in the late 1880s and 1890s.
J. Crew Goes Photographer Chic
Oh boy, amusing mailbox discovery yesterday! J. Crew has noticed that male photographers are hip and sexy and look good in their button-downs. You know what else is cool? Studio lighting and light meters and gaffer tape. And unshavedness, apparently.
Dear Jamie Beck,
How do you do this?
Japan Earthquake Images
These images are in the Times today, from Kyodo News via AP. They’re unbelievably surreal, and strangely beautiful, and of course, terrifying.
Coming to the Table with Lincoln Barbour
It’s nice to check in with our favorite photographer friends and see how the year’s been treating them. And also to get some scoops about what work they’ve been making, and how they’ve been making it. Enter Lincoln Barbour, who’s working out of Portland, Oregon, and making some delicious new pictures. I asked him about his pics and processes.. read away.
The Astounding Work of Lauren Lancaster
I’ve known Lauren Lancaster and her work for some time, but I just saw her website again recently, and I was shocked by the incredible images she has made. Much like haunting film stills, the images are really unique for photojournalism, and speak to an eerie stillness in places like Kabul, UAE and The Western Front– places not known to be calm.
Bon Voyage, NASA Space Shuttle (almost)
1981-2011 The Space Shuttle. Last launch today at 4:50 pm. Sad and a half. Let us have a moment of remembrance with Christopher Wahl’s photographs.
