Maybe it’s living in crowded cities most of my life, perhaps it’s the warm Southern California climate…but Antarctica is on my short list of places to visit. The USAP has a killer free photo library until that time comes.
Stuart Klepper’s book, “From the Circle to the Pole” is well worth a look as well.
Built using Scriptographer, a scripting plug-in for Adobe Illustrator. Jonathan Puckey is part of the team behind Scriptographer, and this particular plug-in is still in development.
Lui Ferreyra evokes Chuck Close, Egon Schiele and a touch of the digital in his figurative and landscape work that he refers to as “fragmentism”. Most of the works are at least 48″ on the short side and must be spectacular to look at in person.
Mike Sinclair has a great portfolio, but his personal work (as above) is truly killer.
Satellite views of subdivisions illustrated by hand by Ross Racine.
Images from this past weekend on the soggy New Jersey shore.
Barry Ritholtz posted this a few weeks back, but I was traveling and forgot about it until I noticed the saved link on my desktop this morning. There’s so much right here I don’t know where to start; I stopped watching CNBC years ago (with the notable exception of David Faber’s excellent multi-part interview with Warren Buffett).
My favorite request as someone who does a lot of television graphics: #5. Lose the Octobox. Fire whoever came up with the Decabox. ‘Nuff said.
Sites such as Ritholtz’s, Brett Steenbarger’s and the StockTwits feeds available on Tweetdeck have almost completely replaced financial television for me.
“Babel Tales” appear to be composed scenes with a cast of actors, but are rather carefully composited photographs created from multiple candid exposures of New York City street corners. The result is a discovery of order amongst the chaos of the city, even if it takes weeks of photographs to distill that particular order. Just as with multiple exposures a composite could be made to remove humanity from these scenes, these images bring it to the forefront with the usage of compressed time. The whole series is fantastic.

If you’ve got an iPhone, go check out QuadCamera by artandmobile. Honestly one of my favorite apps, although it’s killing me that it’s not running on iPhoneOS 3.0 yet. (An update has been submitted to Apple, and patience is wearing thin….)
Rental property outside of Joshua Tree, CA that combines indoor/outdoor living (it is not enclosed from the elements). This would make for an interesting weekend – particularly under a new moon, since the stars up in the high desert can be pretty spectacular.
Available through Pretty Vacant Properties.
I had seen Stephen Tamiesie’s photographs of the Salton Sea some time ago, but forgot his name since then. Luckily, I found him again along with his series “Signs of American Life” that contains a great group of images from the Bonneville Salt Flats.
