Surreal Self-Portraits of a Traveling Photographer. Boston-based photographer Alicia Savage takes intriguing and surreal self-portraits wherever she may be. Having discovered her passion for photography in 2009, Savage seems to be attached to her camera, taking it everywhere she goes, ready to snap a shot of herself in each unique environment. She says, "While traveling my goal is to always create Art while on the go from my surroundings - no matter where I may be. " While her collection of work labeled as Imagined shows a much more creative and preplanned side to her portfolio, rich with surreal elements, her Morning Light series reflects her passion for photography at all times. Whether she's couch surfing in France, staying at a hostel in Portugal, bunking with a friend in Canada, or backpacking through Spain, she captures the beginning of her day as she climbs out of bed and takes a moment to recognize her surroundings.

Alicia Savage website via [Beautiful Decay] The Strange Beauty of Airports Photographed From Above - John Metcalfe. Do airports have personalities? If so, JFK International Airport must possess a dark and complex intelligence: Broad flats of black pavement suggest an ocean of serene thoughts, while elsewhere snaking streams of roadways hint at either mathematical genius or full-blown schizophrenia. But that's probably reading too much into the artwork of Jeffrey Milstein, a New Yorker who's given much of his life to documenting airplanes and their surroundings.

Airports are just cool to look at, especially from way up in the sky where you can see the megalithic structures in their awesome entirety. Growing up in Los Angeles, Milstein would often trek to LAX to film planes landing with his 8-millimeter videocamera. He spent so much time at the airport that he memorized the landing patterns. When he wasn't recording planes, he was gluing together model jets, reading magazines about the airline industry or training (successfully) to receive a pilot's license.

Just for the record, Bear Kirkpatrick is a friend of mine, so I was feeling his pain as the judges were less than careful when treading on his photographs in Canteen Magazine’s Live Naked Judging round. I really appreciate Bear participating in this post today. I would have opened the vodka bottle and pulled the covers over my head, but as he states, getting an art beating once in awhile is a good thing.

Bear realizes he made a crucial mistake that is common to so many photographers – not all the images he submitted were from the same series. They were under the same umbrella, but because he only submitted a few from each project, he was left out in the rain. This was not completely his fault as the guidelines stated: Eligible Work Work derived from all traditional and digital photographic processes, as well as mixed-media work that is primarily photo-based, will be considered. Response from the photographer: so to get a beating once in a while (not too often!) The Thought of Thinking. Untitled. Toy Stories | gabriele galimberti. If Riverboom’s photographer Gabriele Galimberti had happened to shoot me, aged 6 and surrounded by my favorite toys, he would have seen the following: plastic medieval weaponry; assorted Lego (Space, Castle and Pirate); an inflatable Tyrannosaurus rex (punctured slowly into extinction); a Superman action figure (I lost it and hyperventilated with grief); a pair of cuddly rabbits (Sally and Billy); toy cars; a tiny guitar; a plane you launched with an elastic catapult; a replica pistol I thought my mum didn’t know about.

Everyone remembers their childhood toys. The fact that I can recall how most of mine tasted better than I can remember the names of my primary school teachers says everything you need to know about the universe kids inhabit. But how they play can reveal a lot. “The richest children were more possessive. Yet even children worlds apart share similarities when it comes to the function their toys serve.
