Animated stereoviews of old Japan ::: Pink Tentacle
28 Oct 2009 In the late 19th and early 20th century, enigmatic photographer T. Enami (1859-1929) captured a number of 3D stereoviews depicting life in Meiji-period Japan. [Sumo wrestlers] A stereoview consists of a pair of nearly identical images that appear three-dimensional when viewed through a stereoscope, because each eye sees a slightly different image. This illusion of depth can also be recreated with animated GIFs like the ones here, which were created from Flickr images posted by Okinawa Soba.

À quand la photographie inratable?
Lytro compte sortir d'ici fin 2011 un appareil photo qui ne fera plus le point, l'idée étant que l'appareil capturera toute l'information possible, et rendra une photo numérique qu'on pourra ajuster. Plus simplement dit en image (cliquez sur n'importe quelle partie de la photo pour faire le point): publicité Nous republions ci-dessous un article écrit en janvier 2011 sur la sophistication des appareils photos numériques actuels et à venir, qui laissent envisager, un jour, la photographie impossible à rater. N’importe quel tour dans les albums photos de vos amis sur Facebook vous prouvera qu’on rate encore ses photos. Mais alors que les appareils photos numériques s’améliorent constamment et continuent de sortir des options qui automatisent de plus en plus la prise de vue, s’approche-t-on de la photo impossible à rater, avec un appareil qui ferait tout le boulot et un bouton sur lequel appuyer pour avoir une bonne photo? Qu’est-ce qu’une photo ratée et une photo réussie? Priorité au sourire

Yves Marchand & Romain Meffre Photography - The Ruins of Detroit
At the end of the XIXth Century, mankind was about to fulfill an old dream. The idea of a fast and autonomous means of displacement was slowly becoming a reality for engineers all over the world. Thanks to its ideal location on the Great Lakes Basin, the city of Detroit was about to generate its own industrial revolution. Visionary engineers and entrepreneurs flocked to its borders. In 1913, up-and-coming car manufacturer Henry Ford perfected the first large-scale assembly line. Within few years, Detroit was about to become the world capital of automobile and the cradle of modern mass-production.

Creative Dad Takes Crazy Photos Of Daughters
If you are tired of posed, stiff and cheesy family portraits, then take a look at these incredibly creative pictures taken by Jason Lee. Jason who is a wedding photographer started taking photos of his two little daughters back in 2006 when his mom was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma. The girls were constantly sick, with colds and coughs so he couldn’t always bring them to visit their grandmother. Jason wanted her to be able to see her granddaughters without catching their kid germs so he started a blog where his mom could see what was going on in their lives. Most of the ideas come from his daughters – eight-year-old Kristin and five-year-old Kayla. Jason says that they are never-ending source of ideas. Website: jwlphotography.com | flickr
