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.
Mike Sinclair has a great portfolio, but his personal work (as above) is truly killer.
Images from this past weekend on the soggy New Jersey shore.
“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.

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.
Spring is in the air, I’ve still got grease in my fingernails from working on the bike all weekend, and I’m getting itchy for twisty mountain roads. If you like motorcycles, BikeExif is an instant update to your RSS feed.
Mixing skateboarding & motorcycles with an style that evokes Bruce Davidson works really well – and thus, Scott Pommier’s portfolio is incredibly bad-ass.
More here.
Joshua Tree, today at sunset.
Taking the holiday to get a few thousand photos together. These are part of a series that I shot a few years ago in a prison museum in Philadelphia.
Lovely work, repped by Blum & Poe here in LA. There’s also a nighttime landscape on there that feels like it was taken by the evil, bat-obsessed cousin of Ansel Adams.
Set aside a couple of hours, and revel in one of the greatest flickr sets ever.

I don’t think I’m ditching my Holga, but if you’ve got an X-Acto knife and some glue handy, there’s a PDF with some camera blueprints waiting for you at Objet Graphik.
Skateboarding in the dark, with timed exposures. Her paintings are worth a look too. Go there.
I love The Big Picture since it offers a larger view on the images of the day – most of which would never be seen without extensive digging. In the same vein, this portfolio of Callie Shell’s, which follows Barack Obama’s campaign from the early days of the primaries to the present provides the same satisfaction. There needs to be more of this.
The meltdown has a face: the sad, sad traders that populate the Business section (or lately the front page) of your local paper.
This is the internet, so of course there’s a blog that aggregates them.
Some of these just need Bill Viola with a slow motion camera, some proper lighting design and *boom*, you got art.
