Les images de la NASA qui vont suivre possèdent un délicieux parfum d’antan : ce n’est pas l’effet d’un filtre vintage, mais bien parce qu’elles ont été prises dans les années 60 et 70. Et ont été récemment scannées et mises à disposition sur Internet : vous allez y passer des heures. Déjà, lancez cette vidéo d’un concert de Joe Hisaishi dirigeant 800 choristes, qui sera la bande originale parfaite de ce post : Il y a quelques jours, la NASA et l’Université d’Arizona ont publié une immense archive des images prises durant les missions Gemini et Mercury.

Happy Birthday, Muhammad Ali: 70 Iconic Images for 70 Years - LightBox
Muhammad Ali’s first sounds were “Gee-Gee, Gee-Gee.” His beautiful mother Odessa Clay called her son “G-G” for the rest of her life, and years later, Ali would say, “After I won the Golden Gloves, I told Mama that from the very beginning, I was trying to say, ‘Golden Gloves.’ ” So began the life of Muhammad Ali, who celebrates his 70th birthday today. Though many know him as the greatest boxer of all time, few know that it was actually the theft of his bicycle at age 12 that began his boxing career. After the bike was stolen, Ali ran to the police station, threatening to “whup whoever stole my bike.” Joe Martin, a white Louisville, Ky., policeman, told him he had better learn to fight, and in his spare time, he took Ali under his wing and taught him the ropes. Ali won his first fight six weeks later.

On a recent trip to Utah, I discovered this off-the-grid community in the middle of the desert, a surreal world to the outsider, and a vibrant place with happiness to the residents: 15 families living right inside a massive wall of rock. In my multiple conversations with locals while I scouted potential locations of interest, a few people started to mention this community of polygamists, my interest rapidly grew and I launched my investigation for a way to find them and how to gain access to their community. After locating the community, I gained access through one of the sons of the very founder in the 1970s - Enoch is now the leading figure in this community.
Earlier this year, David Guttenfelder, chief Asia photographer for the Associated Press, along with Jean H. Lee, AP bureau chief in Seoul, were granted unprecedented access to parts of North Korea. The pair made visits to famous sites accompanied by government minders.

Yves Gellie On the very edge of Europe, in the north of Scotland, hundreds of thousands of hectares of land is home to estates that landlords maintain as wild land in order to stalk deer. My project is to produce 15 photographic tableaux vivants of these last pristine, wild landscapes in Europe. A series of 15 scenes that are reminiscent of the hunting scenes in paintings that populate their castle walls. These moments are, for me, the epicentre of days spent hunting.

This series is an exploration into the tattoos, and lives, of members of South Africa’s ‘Numbers’ prison gangs (the 26s, 27s & 28s) after having been released back into society, normally after many years, if not decades, of imprisonment. Tattooing has always been forbidden in the South African prison system, with severe penalties, but the drive to create these marks is so strong that tattooing equipment will be created somehow.Pigment will come from grinding up rubbish bins, industrial rubber washers, batteries, or bricks. This will then be mixed with saliva, and will be pushed under the skin with nails pulled out of furniture, or sewing needles. Tattoos may convey rankings within the hierarchy of the Number, may be testimonies to a crime committed, or may sometimes be a rather more personal statement: like a message of blame, threat, or regret, or a tribute to a loved one. A “Numbers” gangster can read another’s life story simply through the markings he has.
