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]

≡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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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

An interview with Michael Cook, who explores municipal drain systems and other subterranean infrastructure. Even people I know who self-identify as urban explorers aren’t at all that interested in undergrounding – especially not in storm drains. A lot of them just don’t see the actual interest. It’s not a detail-rich environment. You can walk six [...]

TMN has a great photo gallery up: Still Life by Martin Klimas. They’re wonderful photos of statues in the midst of shattering. The martial arts figurines are particularly enjoyable.
