Photographer Profile ~ Bettina Rheims Since the early 1980s, Bettina Rheims has become one of the most internationally respected contemporary photographers. Through her many books and exhibitions of her work she is renowned throughout Europe, the USA, Asia and Australia. Rheims discovered her love of photography after working from the other side of the lens as a model, and later as a journalist and an art dealer. In 1981 her first exhibition featuring strip-tease artists and acrobats appeared at the Centre Pompidou and at the Galerie Texbraun in Paris. Encouraged by the success of her first show, Rheims produced a series of images of stuffed animals which were also exhibited in Paris and later in New York. http://anthonylukephotography.blogspot.com/2012/03/photographer-profile-bettina-rheims.html
Social - 30 Amazing Photographs And The Stories Behind Them
http://monroegallery.blogspot.com/2011/12/most-unforgettable-images-of-year-best.html The most unforgettable images of the year / Best photographs of 2011 UPDATED Dec. 30, 2011 "2011 was a year of global tumult, marked by widespread social and political uprisings, economic crises, and a great deal more. We saw the fall of multiple dictators, welcomed a new country (South Sudan), witnessed our planet's population grow to 7 billion, and watched in horror as Japan was struck by a devastating earthquake, a tsunami, and a nuclear disaster. From the Arab Spring to Los Indignados to Occupy Wall Street, citizens around the world took to the streets in massive numbers, protesting against governments and financial institutions, risking arrest, injury, and in some cases their lives."

Top 15 Photography Websites of 2010 | la pura vida Photograph by Dmitry Anisimov It’s difficult devising a title for these types of posts, so I figured when in doubt, go with linkbait. Essentially I want to highlight fifteen photography destinations on the web I find interesting or think are doing innovative work. About : The blog of photographer Blake Andrews.

http://lpvmagazine.com/2011/12/top-photography-websites-of-2011/ ©Delaney Allen I browse numerous photography blogs and magazines, probably not as many as some people, but I’m guessing more than the median photography enthusiast. There are plenty of destinations to find quality work these days but I find there are very few that have a distinct point of view, and finding quality writing about photography is still a challenge.

http://www.360cities.net/image/sanaa-sunset#327.80,11.10,45.9 Modern civilization began right here in the Tigris-Euphrates river valley. Also known as the Fertile Crescent or Mesopotamia, this is the place where, six thousand years ago, agriculture, writing and mathematics were brought into widespread use. The term "Middle East" comes from the British navy, which used it to describe the countries on the trade route from Europe to India and China. Everything from Afghanistan to Morocco may possibly be classified as "middle eastern", depending on whom you ask -- and when. Only a partial list of past Empires in the middle eastern territory includes Sumeria, Babylonia, Persia, the Ottoman Empire and the Roman Empire! When northern Europe was still lurking about in slimy cold stone castles playing chess, the Middle East was enjoying the flowers of poetry, luxurious craftsmanship, music and literature.
