Photographing a New Era of American Leisure During the Vietnam War. When I returned from Europe in 1967, after a year living in other cultures, America appeared very different to me.
I saw how caught up the country was in consumerism and self-indulgence, how the Vietnam War was unfolding in front of us and people seemed to go about their lives as if it wasn’t their business. I saw how corporate America was creating an environment of distraction that seduced the majority of citizens into becoming a submissive body politic. I applied for a Guggenheim Fellowship and asked for support to look at the way people spent their “leisure time,” that being a new concept in American life a mere decade earlier.

Hong Kong’s Last Neon Lights Still Look Totally Blade Runner. Neon is to Hong Kong as red phone booths are to London and fog is to San Francisco.
When night falls, reds and blues and other hues cast a hazy glow over a city illuminated by tens of thousands of neon signs. But many of them are going dark, replaced by more practical, but less romantic, LEDs. Changing building codes, evolving tastes, and the high cost of maintaining those wonderful old signs have businesses embracing LEDs. They’re cheaper, but still carry great cost. “To me, neon represents a sense of nostalgia, and my goal was to capture the atmosphere, the feeling of it,” says photographer Sharon Blance, whose series Hong Kong Neon celebrates the city’s iconic signage. Building a neon sign is an art, one practiced by craftsmen trained through apprenticeships to mold glass tubes into ornate shapes and letters.
Blance spent a week in Hong Kong in March and discovered Mobile M+:Neon Signs HK, a website celebrating the city’s signs. Dantilon: The Brutal Deluxe. Photographer Gets Lost In The Beauty Of Tokyo’s Neon Streets At Night. Liam Wong injects a unique cyberpunk flavour into his images, casting a light upon the dark corners and back alleys that twist throughout Tokyo.
His photographs manage to precisely capture the dynamism of the bustling city lit by bright neon signs and artificial lights, making one question the reality depicted in each photograph. With a distinct futuristic feel, most of Wong’s portfolio gives the sense that you were dropped into the middle of a stylish video game set in Japan’s animated capital. h/t: boredpanda, mymodernmet “I first visited Tokyo during the press tour for the game Far Cry 4 and I immediately fell in love with the city. Ahead of my second trip, I purchased my first DSLR and took these pictures. Lebbeuswoods.net.
Kawasaki Warehouse - Kowloon Walled City Rebuilt in Japan. If you don’t know anything about Kowloon Walled City (九龍城寨) then have a read of my earlier posts where I looked at what it was (a lawless area of Hong Kong) and what it is today 20 years later (now redeveloped as a park).
It’s a fascinating story which was confined to the pages of history until recently when a games company in Japan decided it would make the perfect backdrop to a new arcade they were building in Kawasaki (川崎市 – located between Tokyo and Yokohama). Being rather obsessed about the place and after receiving numerous requests from friends in Hong Kong to investigate I got on a train earlier today to take a look. Untitled. Untitled.

Neon Lost and Found: Where New York City Still Burns Bright. This time of year, when the sun goes down early, neon comes into focus.
While neon lighting may be losing out to LED and lighted plastic in the commercial world, the classic neon signs of New York City seem to be glowing particularly bright at this point in time. Two neon connoisseurs have taken it upon themselves to make sure these signs get the admiration they deserve. “Finding all these vibrant, living neon signs helped me fall in love with the city again.” This week, Thomas E. Rinadli published his book, “New York Neon,” which offers a photo tour of 200 signs with historical details on the each sign’s origin. We talked to Hively, an architect by trade who started snapping photos of classic New York neon signs two years ago this December. The chlorophyll process « Chlorophyll Process.

Living Photography. Phototropism, photo by Tangopaso Wie orientieren sich Cyanobakterien im Licht Plants don’t always seem particularly charismatic, but hidden from us in their slow-motion and chemical activities are incredible mechanisms that sense and respond to the world around them.
Plants move in response to light, bending and stretching to get maximum sunlight. This phototropism extends all the way down to much smaller photosynthetic organisms. Like other bacteria, many species of photosynthetic cyanobacteria can swim and swarm to move towards areas where more food–sunlight–is available.

Untitled Document. Light-induced chloroplast movements in leaves: seeing is believing Light-induced changes in the cellular distribution or orientation of chloroplast's have been observed in nearly all green plants including algae, mosses, ferns, and angiosperms. Under low light conditions, chloroplasts accumulate along the cell walls that are perpendicular to the incident light. Under high light conditions, they accumulate along the walls that are parallel to the incident light. These are the regions of plant leaf cells where internal fluence rates of light are the highest and lowest, respectively, and it is believed likely that the light-induced chloroplast movements serve an adaptive function.
In algae, moss and ferns, both red and blue light can cause chloroplast movements. Artist suspends real clouds in the middle of the room. Now, I don't mean to belittle this. The single act of getting it to coalesce and hover in the middle of the room like a blob is ridiculously cool in it of itself. And the lighting and staging are beautiful. But, this really isn't a "cloud", right? I mean, unless I'm mistaken and there are other types of fog machines, which he used. Because the fog machines I've seen all use that solution which while water-based, is also loaded with glycerine and and other stuff to stabilize it and create the mist when it's aerosolized by the heating element.
