Evan Baden’s Technically Intimate
Evan Baden‘s latest work, Technically Intimate, is series of photographs in which models were asked to re-create scenes originally found on the Internet. The images were used to illustrate an article in New York Magazine this week.
Brian Finke Knows Where (And What) to Eat
Brian Finke of Flight Attendant fame is all square, filmic and flashy in this week’s NY Mag. And with food, no less. All I would like to do now is eat some pastrami.
1942 America in Color, for My Wall.
You know I’m a sucker for for the Office of War Information and Farm Security Administration images from the ’40s. There are so many amazing pictures in the public domain, and many are available in high quality scans. I like the color kodachrome 4x5s, because what’s not to like?
Assange x 2, and Mr. Toledano.
This whole Wikileaks business is starting to feel a bit like a Stieg Larsson plot.
Richard Mosse’s Infra
I’m incredibly taken with Richard Mosse’s project Infra, which I’ve just seen for the first time. He has used a special film to create an otherworldy pink effect to offset the very intense political temperature of the Congo. It feels to me like an incredible way to envision and encapsulate this experience, and is beyond groundbreaking. Not to mention simply beautiful.
Some Days in the Life of Garen Barsegian
As we do every month, we’re going to check in with one of the winners of Profoto‘s Assistant Contest. I’m uber-excited this time, because I’m switching up the old format and sharing some of the great images from July winner Garen Barsegian’s blog.
Alain Delorme and Shanghai’s Totems
Woe was me yesterday with four Trader Joe’s bags and a Grande Earl Grey, trying to unlock my door. But I’ve got nothing on Shanghai, apparently.
How to Photograph an Object At the Speed of Light.
The stories of two images. Both of things going very fast.
Edison Pena Documents His Chilean Mine.
There are some really interesting pictures that have just been released from the Chilean miner saga: the underground documentation by the runner and Elvis nut of the group, Edison Pena. Not only do they show his workout regime, but they give us a clearer idea of the living conditions the miners faced and their (ahem) sexy pastimes. Can’t wait for the made-for-tv movie.
Christian Weber Makes a Nice Portrait.
I’m loving what this guy does with black-and-white and a pair of glasses.
