But the protagonists they celebrate — the working men and women of the Great Depression — are far from fictional. If pictures could talk, these prints, more than half of which were created under the aegis of the WPA, would preach the testament of the Depression-era workforce with eloquence. Over the phone, Matthew Basso, director of the University of Utah’s American West Center, spoke to me about the democratic qualities of printmaking, the government’s role in determining the content of WPA-sponsored art, and the artistic glorification of work in the 1930s and ’40s.

The only instruction potential contributors received was, “You either have to have done the work yourself or seen it done.” Dennis Manarchy's Massive Vanishing Cultures Project. Imagine looking at a 24-foot photograph of your face, created with such detail that if you got up on a ladder with a magnifying glass you could inspect the angles at which your eyebrow hairs were growing.

Dennis Manarchy's Massive Vanishing Cultures Project

This is what photographer Dennis Manarchy wants to create. Manarchy is bucking the trend towards tiny, discrete digital cameras and Photoshopped perfection by creating a camera the size of a New York apartment. The camera extends 35 feet in length—big enough for the photographer and his assistant to throw a tea party inside it. This massive dream camera has not yet been completed—Manarchy is still raising money on Kickstarter, but in the meantime he has been playing with this far less mobile prototype: This camera requires 4.5 x 6 feet negatives, which are viewed using an actual window as a lightbox.

“Last night, we were down in the dark room, processing these huge sheets,” Manarchy tells me on the phone. His excitement is evident in his voice throughout our interview. App removes wandering people from photos. The Remove app is designed to remove bystanders from photos taken by mobile devices Image Gallery (3 images) It's kind of a funny thing, when you think about it ... even though it's normal to see other people milling about in public places, when we take photos of those places, we often don't want any of those people in our pictures.

App removes wandering people from photos

Ordinarily, this means standing around and waiting, then blasting off a shot in the split second when no one is within your frame - except perhaps the person you're taking a photo of. Swedish photography company Scalado, however, has now developed an alternative for use with mobile devices. It's called Remove, and appropriately enough, it removes those pesky "other people" from your photographs. BACK TO THE FUTURE 2 (2011) : Irina Werning - Photographer.
