The Bunker - Works - Jan Kempenaers. Patty Carroll Photography. Victorian parents hiding in pictures to keep their babies still long enough for a portrait [20 pics] In the late 1800′s, a photograph required about 30 seconds of exposure time to take. So anyone sitting for a portrait had to be able to sit still for at least a minute or so. Kids, of course, found this difficult, so some parents, in order to get pics of their brood, sat for the portrait with their children but tried to pretend like they weren’t in the picture by using various disguises and hiding spots — in curtains, under blankets, behind chairs, and more… While the existence of the pictures proves that these parents accomplished their goal of getting their kids to sit for a portrait, it also proves that a grown-up holding a baby while under a dark shroud is really creepy… Many of these images are included in Linda Fregni Nagler’s book The Hidden Mother.
(via The Guardian, Ridiculously Interesting, Flickr) TAMAS DEZSO PHOTOGRAPHER - HERE, ANYWHERE (2009 - ongoing) HERE, ANYWHERE (2009 - ongoing) The map of Hungary is speckled with capsules of time. During the political transformation twenty years ago, as the country experienced change it simply forgot about certain places – streets, blocks of flats, vacant sites and whole districts became self-defined enclosures, where today a certain out-dated, awkward, longed-to-be-forgotten Eastern Europeanness still lingers. There are places which seem to be at one with other parts of the city in a single space, but their co-existence in time is only apparent; places which decompose in accordance with their own specific chronology, determined by their past, such that what remains would then either be silently reconquered by nature or enveloped by the lifestyles of tomorrow’s generations.
Of the inhabitants, who have never fully integrated with majority society, soon only traces will remain, until they, too, disappear in the course of time. Charles Fréger. iGNANT. Emily Shur first visited Japan in 2004. At that time, she had no intention of beginning a project of any size. Since then she has returned multiple times a year, every year, solely to take pictures. She says: ‘Initially I was taken by the cliché imagery generally associated with Japan, but over time I began to see something else. The pictures became less about all that is there and more about what isn’t.’ Her work is focused on quiet, subtle moments that she has come to view as symbols of morality in Japanese culture.
She identifies deeply with the level of respect that nature commands there, as well as the mesmerizing attention to detail prevalent within Japanese life. All images © Emily Shur. iGNANT. Canadian artist David Ellingsen is well known within commercial and public galleries all over the world and lately awakened our interest with his new series ‘Future Imperfect’. In the context of an affluent yet unsustainable culture resistant to any perceived deterioration of lifestyle the series is motivated by the point of meaningful widespread social change. With little or no trace of civilization, the landscapes themselves quietly dominate this series. Formations of figures portray community – a crowd, a flock, a pod, a herd – putting mankind back into the natural order from which it has removed itself.
Bringing together these elements of Man and Environment, ‘Future Imperfect’ questions if our seemingly blunted instinct of self-preservation will overcome the entrenched, destructive cultural norms inherent in the West.

While spending a weekend at the seaside, I've decided to visit a public beach that I haven't seen since I was a little boy. There I saw a possibility to recite a lot of stories only from looking at the things that people bring with them. I’ve got so inspired that I had to quit what I was doing at the time and indulge into a new project. I came back the very next week with all my equipment needed for a photoshoot. I started this series because I was surprised how a certain place or surrounding can affect people's behavior.
These photos are not staged and people did not suspect that they were photographed by me. My favorite piece is the one with the two ladies - it was my first shot and from the moment I saw it, I was convinced that I must finish this project no matter what. This is an example of a higher resolution image to see more details. Prints available in limited edition. Le visage des sans-abri par Lee Jeffries.

WILLIAM EGGLESTON. Ronald Feldman Gallery. October 18, 1980 October 18 – November 15 Gallery Hours: Monday – Saturday 10-5:30 Recollections of My Life with Diaghilev, an exhibition of drawings and texts by the once celebrated black ballerina of Diaghilev's Ballet Russes, Eleanor Antinova, along with photographs of her in her great roles, opens at the Ronald Feldman Gallery on October 18th. Madame Antinova's Memoirs draw no comfortable distinctions between the visual, literary and theatre arts.
She freely uses whatever materials and techniques are necessary to explore the nature of her experience as a youthful and passionate participant in the turbulent adventures of the Russian Ballet during the 1920's. Constructed of visual and verbal images, it is the personal memoir of a young American dancer living on intimate terms with the homeless Russian artists who often had to endure extreme personal hardship and poverty. The exhibition records the hopes and despairs of youthful artists trying to "make it" in an inhospitable world. Claude Cahun. Le surréalisme a beaucoup contribué au développement de la photographie artistique en France et dans toute l’Europe. Expérimentations, collages, jeux identitaires – les artistes, ou plutôt les personnalités curieuses de l’époque exploitèrent ce support comme un outil d’exploration. Figer le réel, le rendre dans son intégralité avec une précision que la peinture atteint difficilement, puis le tordre jusqu’à le faire exploser.
Claude Cahun, née Lucie Schwob à Nantes à la fin du XIXe siècle, a pris des photos de 1910 à 1954. Résistante, homosexuelle, curieuse et affranchie, Claude Cahun cherche, à travers son geste photographique, à se trouver, voire à se transformer. Grimée ou naturelle, l’artiste pratique l’autoportrait avec une frénésie proche de la compulsion. Oubliée jusque dans les années 80, Claude Cahun connait aujourd’hui un regain de succès comme en témoigne la rétrospective qui se déroula au Jeu de Paumedu 24 mai au 25 septembre 2011.
