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.

Rob Giampietro started a collection of imagery from the New Yorker fiction pages, 48 so far. Lots of good stuff there.

Joshua Heineman has a cool little project going where he takes old photos and makes them wiggle* so they look 3D.
[*this is the preferred technical term]
≡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.

Photos of stuffed animals turned inside out. I think these inverted bears have more personality than the ones you see on the shelf. They should sell them like this. [via michael surtees]

The Carter Center is hosting a photography exhibit by Robert Glenn Ketchum. Several dozen of his large-format prints are on display, and Mr. Ketchum himself will be at the Carter Center this Thursday night to talk about his photography of southwest Alaska.

“The electromagnetic field surrounding the power lines is enough to make fluorescent tubes glow.” [via jb]
≡Fun with Flickr stats
Thursday, December 27, 2007
Spent some time playing with Flickr stats the other day. I’m not really looking to be known for my photographs, but I am a sucker for data. As expected, my stats don’t demonstrate that internet users worldwide have come to appreciate my uncanny eye for composition and form, but rather that one can leverage Flickr’s […]

Reuters Pictures of the Year for 2007. Not sure how to link to each, but I like photos number 2, 16, 22, 45, 63, 86, 92, and 98. [via kottke]

In the NYT, a reflection on the newly-discovered photos of Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburg:
What would the photographic record show if it reached back, say 500 years, instead of 180?
One answer is that it would show us this same structure over and over again: a fiercely concentrated knot of people hanging on the words of someone […]

The Cassini spacecraft has recently taken some fantastic photographs of Saturn. [via seat 1a]

A long essay on Errol Morris’ long, three-part investigation of a Roger Fenton photograph: “Fenton’s mild rearranging of some cannonballs presumably went unremarked because no one at the time would have thought it worth remarking on. To subject him to the standards of our own time is otiose; it’s like complaining that Wagner’s Ring cycle […]

Photographer Michael David Murphy had a video interview with Alec Soth a little while before Soth’s lecture for Atlanta Celebrates Photography.

Photos of people and their breakfast. Some of them are just perfect. [via kottke]
≡Alec Soth Lecture at the High Museum
Thursday, October 11, 2007
Tonight I heard photographer Alec Soth speak at the High Museum, a guest of this month’s Atlanta Celebrates Photography events. It was incredibly cool. It was a walk through his career so far, his major projects and commissioned work, and what he’s been learning. I took several pages of notes in the Moleskine… and now […]

These photos of an oceanside cliffwalk in Chile make me swoon. What a lovely path, beautiful stonework. More photos here in the “recorrido” section.

A photo collection of the Space Alphabet, a children’s book from the 1960s. “M is for the moon, a dead, dead world.” [via coudal]

Michael Surtees has shared a short recap and a great collection of photos of Alphabet/City, a typographical tour of New York City led by Tobias Frere-Jones.

It’s October, which means it’s time for Atlanta Celebrates Photography. Of particular interest to me is the Alec Soth lecture at the High Museum and the film series.
≡Flannery O’Connor’s androgynous prayer
Thursday, September 27, 2007
Written on the back of a credit card slip:
“Oh universe which is the all of being—reverence to you—your rule be known—and acceded to in darkness as in light. Feed us by the truth of our need. Let us not be deluded that we may transgress or be transgressed upon. Deliver us from the violence of […]

A cool project from the mind of Jen Bekman: 20×200 is “a place to buy editioned prints and photos at ridiculously affordable prices.”
