Great photographers

Matthias Rascher — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 08:28:41 -0800

Great photographers: Clark Little (surf photography), Nick Brandt (mostly African wildlife), John Hyde (mostly wildlife and Alaska), Veronika Pinke (landscapes), Dale Allman (miscellaneous; particularly beautiful are his Australian cityscapes and the HDR/DRI photos), Ansel Adams (the undisputed master of nature photography who died in 1984; famous quotes: "You don't take a photograph, you make it.", "A true photograph need not be explained, nor can it be contained in words. "), Michel Rajkovic (mostly marine landscape, exclusively in black and white). And again, as a tribute to a gifted artist who died far too early, the work of Bobby Model (adventure photographer). Last but not least: Onexposure, probably the biggest collection of quality photography on the net.

The Loss of Human Scale: Old Hong Kong vs New Hong Kong

milquetoast — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 03:43:38 -0800

For the last two years, Flickr user HK Man has been collecting old photos of Hong Kong, finding the exact spots at which they were taken, and taking them again. The result, from his first photo of Victoria Harbor to a more recent one of Nathan Road, comprises a chronicle of Hong Kong's unrestrained vertical development over the past few decades. In a similar vein, Gwulo is a community site for "for everyone that is interested in old Hong Kong" and includes photos, mysteries, and discussions -- such as this one about old Kai Tak Airport. More on HK Man at URBANPHOTO here and here. Bonus Kai Tak videos: Overview and Landings over Kowloon.

Too old for photography

Expiration Notice is an on-line magazine dedicated to work by emerging photographers over 35. An interesting counterpoint to the usual hyping of "young and emerging artists." (via)

Photomontage timeline, 1850-2007. Spirit photography, trick photography, comic montages, Photoshop, etc. I only wish you could enlarge these images. But I'm glad to have learned about the Cottingley Fairies.

Lina Scheynius I like her loose, ethereal snapshot style, and the playful sexuality. Nudity.

U. S. Geological Survey Photographic Library Highlight the term and click submit if you're not doing a keyword search. That's about the only flaw I could find with the site.

Formation Photography

Arthur Mole first developed his technique of collective portraiture in a religious context, photographing fellow church members gathered together in the shape of religious symbols. When the United States entered World War I, Mole and his colleague John Thomas turned to patriotic themes. They choreographed thousands of soldiers into formations such as the Liberty Bell and the Statue of Liberty. Their largest production was the U.S. Human Shield, photographed at Camp Custer, Battle Creek, Michigan, which comprised 30,000 men. Wiki. More "People Pictures".
