Scans from vintage Vogue magazines. I expect this poster may run smack dab into a copyright challenge shortly (yet I hope not), so enjoy while you can.
iainclaridge.net: Leica love.
All other cameras are merely poseurs.
Motoriginal: 1 of 2 SC Atlantics.
I love Bugs.
Good morning, mountains.
Shorpy: The Big Pennsylvania Hole - 1908.
My last years in NYC, I looked down over the hole to Penn Station. In the 80’s and 90’s. This is just astonishing to see, then. Click on it to view large.
Design You Trust: Winter Weather around the Northern Hemisphere.
Another fine set of photos.
Design You Trust: Vikings in Shetland.
They go all out. Look at the beards and costumes!
The National Press Club: Attorney details backlash against photojournalists.
“The problem is, you’ve got this catch-and-release program going on, which basically stops photographers from doing what they’re supposed to be doing, which is record the news.” Great quote - I’m going to use that ‘catch-and-release’ phrase.
paranoias.org: Waiting, by Leah Beach.
“These are photographs of patients living with Alzheimer’s disease at an assistant living in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.None of these images were staged and are simple observations of the patients in the Alzheimer’s wing ...” See my link of earlier today.
Photographers Gallery: Auto Waitress, by Murray Garrett.
Well, look at that.
SF New Mexican: State to hold tours of 1980 prison riot site.
“The idea for the 90-minute tours followed Gov. Susana Martinez’s request that all state government departments organize public events in connection with the state’s Centennial celebration this year, Corrections Department spokeswoman Rosie Sais said.” Well, that’s one way to celebrate, I suppose. I would like to get in there and take some harrowing photographs.
my pen is a pistola: Men Photographed in Stereotypical Pin Up Poses.
One of my pet peeves, the silly poses women are forced to assume in fashion and advertising photos.
Telegraph.UK: London Art Fair 2012: in pictures.
I haven’t seen a bunny in curlers since Looney Tunes.
Another Something & Company: The Inaugural Sartorialist Lunch.
The video’s very nicely done. Thanks to a tag at the end, I find these folks did it. They’ve got good shooters and good people in post, IMHO. They’re a breath of fresh air in fashion vids, I have to tell you. Great to see some proper vid-chops.
Rob Galbraith DPI: Review: Delock Card Reader FireWire B (Nr. 91694).
I need to pick up one o’ these.
Creative Loafing Atlanta: In defense of copyright.
A photo editor comments on SOPA and PIPA.
After experiencing the one-click linking interfaces of Tumblr and Pinterest, I expect this is going to explode again rather soon ... photographers and media companies with libraries of work (libraries they want to monetize) are not going to be pleased. Granted they only have a short time to monetize their images, given the swiftly falling value of a photo [I can hear Jeremiah knocking on my cranium going, “Do I have to mention Napster to you, AGAIN?!"]. Yet historical photos will, I expect, retain a value over and above the endless low-cost digital snowflurries produced today. They can’t be replaced by modern equivalents.
Thinking out loud a bit.
benhammer.de: Twins by Martin Schoeller.
The same, yet different.
PetaPixel: Why Wedding Photographers’ Prices are “Wack”.
A wedding photographer answers the complaints of a soon-to-be bride. The comments are nitpicky, but worth also perusing.
Rob Galbraith DPI: Q+A with enlight photo’s James Madelin about ioShutter.
Remember this? Hooks your iOS device to your DSLR. There’s been a lot of buzzing interest about this. The whack is the price of the cable, not the app.
Rob Galbraith DPI: NASA releases stunning high-resolution photo of Earth from space.
You can see the Rio Grande quite clearly. It surely *is* a stunning photo.
DP Review: Similar, but not copied, image found to breach copyright.
See the links in the comments below. Seems the judge needed to get out a bit more ... perhaps buy some postcards.
Rob Galbraith DPI: Lexar 1000X blazes to 129MB/s read speed, best-in-class write speeds.
More speed is handier than you might suspect.
The Atlantic, In Focus: Salvaging the TK Bremen.
Torn up in two weeks? Italy needs to hire these folks for the Concordia, which looks to be in much worse shape.
NY Times: Debt-Ridden Greece Turns to Sacred Sites for Help.
“The Acropolis is not a film set, it’s the soul of Greece; this is sacrilege.” I don’t see a problem, except for one detail - film crews are notoriously bad about taking care of the venues they’re working in. I’d dedicate an officer (or two) to watching everyone on-location - or empowering tourists to report indiscretions. Otherwise you’ll have clamp-marks on the columns, gaffer tape all over the ruins.

If only our local lizards had wings ...
