DANNY LYON: “DOCUMERICA” (1970′s) « ASX | AMERICAN SUBURB X | Photography & Culture
If I were to begin describing to you a collection of photographs in the National Archives, taken in the early and mid-1970s by photographers on contract with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), you would probably not get too enthusiastic. And if I would then say that these photographs document “subjects of environmental concern,” you would probably assume, as I did, that this collection consists of images of smog, clear-cut timber, traffic congestion, sewerage plants, and oil spills. You would be in for a pleasant surprise. You would be surprised because, while the images I am discussing–the records of the EPA`s DOCUMERICA Project–do, in fact, contain scenes of environmental blight, they also include many images that go well beyond any narrow definition of “environmental concern.”Beth Dow

I love old photos. I admit being a nosey photographer. As soon as I step into someone else’s house, I start sniffing for them. Most of us are fascinated by their retro look but to me, it’s imagining how people would feel and look like if they were to reenact them today… Two years ago, I decided to actually do this.

Lomography Spinner 360° on Cool Hunting
The latest addition to Lomography 's fleet of non-digital cameras, the Spinner 360° promises dizzying panoramas with the pull of a cord. Thanks to the unconventional (and often unpredictable) results produced by the camera's simple mechanics, anyone who can point-and-shoot—or in this case, point-and-pull—will have fun with it. I recently had the opportunity to try the camera out, and can attest to the joys of pulling, pointing, flipping, and adjusting the angle to create as many different nine-inch images as possible. Designed to spin at optimum shutter speed, simply pull and release the device's trigger cord to set it in motion. A revolving hand-held axis allows the camera to capture up to eight complete 360° panoramas on 35mm film, which—depending on the camera's levelness and position—can range from a straightforward landscape to a sloping distortion of reality.
