Stanley Kubrick's New York: Incredible Photos of Life in the 40s. Self portrait with showgirl Rosemary Williams 1948 – Photograph via VandM.com Stanley Kubrick—who wrote and directed Lolita, Dr. Strangelove, 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange and The Shining—was one of America’s most influential filmmakers. Directors ranging from the Coen Brothers to Tim Burton paid visual homage to his works in their own films, and no less than Steven Spielberg said: “Nobody could shoot a picture better in history.”

In fact Kubrick’s special skill behind the camera and his ability to create visual intrigue were evident long before he was a Hollywood icon. It was during this period that Kubrick’s respected—and often-imitated—style first became apparent. Now, for the first time, fine art prints of Kubrick’s work as a photojournalist are available for sale. Images in this collection show the drama—both human and artistic—that infuse Kubrick’s work. All images are available as prints through VandM.com 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. Flickr Finds No. 13.

Oct 19, 2009 Taranjeet Kaur's grandfather Jeevan Singh (next photograph) was killed on Nov 1, 1984. "A mob of 400-500 people followed my husband... " - Gauri Gill "...and before he could reach a safe house in Pandav Nagar, they knifed him and left him to die on the rail tracks," recounts Taranjeet's grandmother Surjit, crying uncontrollably.

It hasn’t been easy since. “I have spent my life struggling, but I want my granddaughter to study hard,” says Surjit, as the schoolgirl sits poring over her books. Tilak Vihar in west Delhi acquired an unenviable title after the ’84 survivors were given tenements here: Widows Colony. Born on October 1, 1984, Manjit Singh was just a month old when their house in Mangolpuri, his father, grandfather and three uncles were all burned, their bodies never found.

Trilokpuri, the middle-class east Delhi colony, was witness to the largest massacre of Sikhs in November 1984. The walls of Bhaggi Kaur’s house have been covered with her grandchildren’s graffiti. Hindu Festivals - Alan Taylor - In Focus. Hindus around the world -- from South Asia to Britain and beyond -- observe many colorful holidays throughout the year. Recent festivals include the Ganesh Chaturthi, celebrating the birth of the elephant-headed deity, and Janamashtami, the birth anniversary of the god Krishna. The range of experiences at these celebrations runs from joyfully loud and spectacular to solemn and contemplative. Each devotee celebrates in a distinct, personal way even while joining the larger community. Hinduism is the world's third-largest religion; the majority of its one billion adherents are concentrated in India, but sizable communities exist all over the globe.

I hope you enjoy these vivid, intriguing glimpses of Hindu festivals photographed over the past few months.
