Remembering Bonni Benrubi, Curator of Images Abelardo MorellBroadway, from a room at the Marriott Hotel. Camera obscura photograph. The magazine lost a friend and colleague last week when Bonni Benrubi, the founder and director of the Bonni Benrubi Gallery died on Thursday. Benrubi opened her gallery in 1987, at a time when photography was still claiming its place within the world of art collecting. She represented an amazing group of photographers, several of whom have had a close working relationship with the magazine over the past 25 years. Benrubi had a special love for magazine photography and was as likely to be seduced by the storytelling in an image as by its visual beauty. Bonni had been battling cancer for two and a half years. Here are some of the photographs by artists represented by Bonni that were commissioned and published by The New York Times Magazine and T: The New York Times Style Magazine over the past 15 years: Slide Show
faustine ferhmin | Perception Park faustine ferhmin faustine ferhmin, dans la série intitulée , photographie l’espace. le terme fait signe vers un temps plus vaste que celui de l’histoire humaine : il signifie «révolution, bouleversement» (cuti) de l’«espace-temps» ou de la «terre» (pacha). cette notion centrale dans la pensée cosmogonique inca désigne les cycles réguliers de destruction et de recréation cataclysmiques du monde. même si les ruines sont présentes sur ces photographies, prises au pérou, ce n’est pas une approche d’historienne qu’adopte faustine ferhmin : chaque photographie est plutôt une confrontation avec une immensité abrupte, dont les spécificités géologiques participent à une véritable architecture de l’espace. {*style:<i> </i>*}{*style:<i> </i>*}{*style:<i> </i>*}{*style:<i> </i>*}{*style:<i> </i>*}{*style:<i> </i>*}{*style:<i> </i>*} faustine ferhmin est née en 1980, elle vit et travaille à paris. www.faustine-ferhmin.com
Emily Winiker - Overview - Probation London Add — revolution through relaxation — 100 Ideas That Changed Photography by Maria Popova From the camera obscura to the iPhone, or why photography is an art of continuous reinvention. Earlier this year, British publisher Laurence King brought us 100 Ideas That Changed Graphic Design, 100 Ideas That Changed Film, and 100 Ideas That Changed Architecture. Syracuse University fine art professor Mary Warner Marien writes in the introduction: Before it materialized as the camera and lens, photography was an idea. Marien goes on to illuminate the history of photography alongside the parallel history of innovations in science and technology, as well as social and cultural developments across philosophy, politics, and aesthetics. When Christian Gobrecht illustrated the workings of a camera obscura for Abraham Rees’s The Cyclopedia or Universal Dictionary of Arts, Sciences, and Literature (1805-22), he was careful to show how the device created an inverted image. The negative formed the basis of photography until the digital age. Donating = Loving Share on Tumblr
