A scene from my recent vacation: Volcán Mombacho, as seen from the belltower at Iglesia La Merced. I did a bunch of journaling and drawing, so more thoughtful Nicaraguan posts are on the way…

The AJC has some really nice photos from the premiere of Gone with the Wind. I never knew there was a motorcade, teeming crowds, etc. Even has a nice playbill.

How to make a $10 macro photo studio light tent thing. I don’t really need one, but I could probably think of reasons after I make it.

The old man will be home as soon as he can, and we will take a walk. That’s poor folk’s luxury.
That’s a quote from Carleton Watkins, an early American landscape photographer who hauled thousands of pounds of equipment around the American West. His photos of the Yosemite area appeared in The Yosemite Book that helped [...]

An interesting aside from photographer Michael David Murphy’s Against Ease: or How the Inifinitely Reproduceable Pushes Us Further From the Source:
In some ways, the pricing of digital fine art prints seems to be a shift-away from paying for an actual print to paying for all the expense that went into creating the work that led [...]

I’m still sorting through my photos from Iceland, sifting out the worthwhile from the not-so-great. I plan to take my time and upload them over the next week or so. This is from my first morning in Reykjavik. More to come.

Bucket hat? Check. Knit woolen sweater? Check. Pipe? Check. I love it when stereotypes match with reality.

These photos of a leopard killing a crocodile are amazing. Apparently it’s the first time this has been witnessed or recorded.
≡More bad parking/driving
Wednesday, July 23, 2008
I couldn’t make it up if I tried. I saw this tonight. Only about 30 feet separates this from the worst parking I’ve ever seen incident earlier this year. There must be some sort of psycho-electro-magnetic field in this parking lot that disrupts human motor functions.

Joshua Heineman has a cool little project going where he takes old photos and makes them wiggle* so they look 3D.

≡Old photos from the Brooklyn Museum
Sunday, June 8, 2008
The Brooklyn Museum has some great photos on Flickr. Currently in the commons are a great set of old lantern slides in Egypt, and a lot of images from the 1900 Paris Exposition.
In the Paris set, it’s cool how the primitive coloring job kind of flattens the images. They look almost like paper cut-outs or [...]

I’ve really been loving The Big Picture, the Boston Globe’s photojournalism blog.

An audio slideshow about competing in the Barkley Marathon. Over the 22 years of the 100-mile race, only 7 have finished. It’s fondly called “the race that eats its young.” [via trails and tribulations]

The earliest known photo of Helen Keller, pictured in 1888 with Anne Sullivan. Things like this remind me that they were actually real people, not just nice little characters in a story.
