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.

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. Je ne parle évidemment pas ici d’une photo qui soit intéressante ni même réussie sur le plan esthétique, mais d’une photo qui, bêtement, ne soit pas ratée techniquement. Qu’est-ce qu’une photo ratée et une photo réussie? Aujourd’hui, pour le grand public, une photo est ratée si elle est floue sur l’objet qui intéresse, si elle est surexposée ou sous-exposée. Priorité au sourire

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. Website: jwlphotography.com | flickr
