Inez and Vinoodh's video for new Rihanna And Kanye West And Paul McCartney song. Maybe it’s because I spent all day Saturday watching Beatles documentaries, or maybe it’s because I’m feeling emotional and loving after a big lunch, but this is great. If you had told anyone five years ago that Rihanna, Kanye and Paul would team up with fashion photography powerhouse Inez and Vinoodh to create a music video, no one would have believed you.

But, it’s happened. Sure Brandon Stosuy from Pitchfork just referred to it on Twitter as a GAP commercial, but I think maybe it’s stronger than that. When the collaboration was first announced I expected them to accompany it with a mindbendingly expensive blockbuster video à la Justin Timberlake’s What Goes Around…Comes Around complete with a car chase.

30 Magical Photos Of Children Playing Around The World. No matter their cultural background, no matter their economic situation, kids will always find imaginative ways to have fun. Their wild imaginations and magical childhood moments, when captured on camera by talented photographers, can make for truly wonderful photos. These 33 images we collected will prove that childhood can be wonderful no matter where you go. Show Full Text Many in the Western world fear that technology is making today’s children lose touch with nature and with their own creativity, and while there are arguments to be made for the intellectual stimulation that apps and programs for children can bring, there’s also something to be said for simply playing with a stick in the mud or chasing dandelion seeds though an open meadow.

Given how many historical photos are video are shot in black and white, many of us can forget that the past was also in full color – we just don’t get to see it. However, these photos of Russia in the beginning of the 20th century by photographer Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky give us a rare glimpse into the past in full and glorious color.

Color photography, in the way that we understand it, was not possible at the time, but it was possible to create a color image for the viewer by completing three separate photographs. Prokudin-Gorsky had to take three separate photographs of the same subject – once with a red filter over the lens, once with a green filter, and once with a blue filter (red, green, blue – RGB – is a set of color channels used by many digital images as well). Later on, these three monochromatic images would be projected through filters of those same colors onto a screen and superimposed.

How People React When Complete Strangers Fall Asleep On Them On The Subway. Most of us are all about compassion towards our fellow man, but would you let a tired stranger rest their head on your shoulder for a quick snooze?

New York-based artist George Ferrandi has put that to the test in her quirky and fun photo project “It felt like I knew you.” The premise of Ferrandi’s project is simple – she pretends to fall asleep on a total stranger on the NY subway system, and her associate Angela Gilland captured their reactions on her phone. Most people were, not surprisingly, surprised. Some commuters, however, let Ferrandi snooze, while others either woke her or moved their seats. Napping on strangers is often a part of public prank videos, but Ferrandi approaches strangers with a somewhat more tender approach; “I focus on the shape of the space between the person sitting next to me and myself.

It’s a simple notion that applies to many aspects of our lives, but especially to historical photography.

Sometimes, one simple picture can tell you more about history than any story you might read or any document you might analyze. [Read more...] These photographs all tell stories about the historical figures or events that they represent. Perhaps the wars, poverty, fights for freedom and little miracles of the past have lessons for us that we can use today?

“A ship is safe at harbor, but that is not what ships are for.” William Shedd The problem with the weekly twitter photo sharing phenomenon @FriFotos is that the topics chosen are always great. Often when looking through images only expecting to find one or two, numerous suitable pictures spring out, signalling the need for a post. This is especially true of the topic for this week – harbours. The natural haven of Squamish, Canada Another reason the themes are well chosen is because they allow participants creativity to flow.

Jay Mark Johnson’s very unusual camera emphasizes time over space. Jay Mark Johnson. The abstract-seeming images here are not the result of some wacky Photoshopping. Jay Mark Johnson’s photos are actually incredibly precise. The reason they look like this is because he uses a slit camera that emphasizes time over space.

Whatever remains still is smeared into stripes, while the motion of crashing waves, cars and a Tai Chi master’s hands are registered moment by moment, as they pass his camera by. Yes, it’s a confusing concept. This unique look is possible because the fixed-position slit camera registers only a vertical sliver of a scene. If you are still having trouble with this idea, try cutting out a tiny slit of paper and holding it up to your eye. The way the camera isolates subject from background allows Johnson to evoke the mood of an empty piazza painted by De Chirico or the sense of estrangement and abandon depicted by Sartre.

Ce soir j'ai été voir le reportage de Richard Press sur le photographe Bill Cunningham. Je crois que je n'ai pas été profondément touchée et inspirée de la sorte depuis des lustres, voir depuis... jamais.. Ce reportage m'a retourné la tête et le coeur. Je suis restée bouche bée tout le long du film, avec des envies de rire aux éclats puis de pleurer, devant l'incroyable talent de Bill à savoir captiver la beauté et l'excentricité mais surtout stupéfié devant sa bonté, un coeur pur comme on en croise pas deux fois dans sa vie, sa poésie et son sens de l'humour.

Je n'ai sincèrement jamais vu quelqu'un d'aussi humble, avec autant de passion et un talent aussi indéniable. Bill est aujourd'hui un vieux monsieur de 83 ans.
