Fantastic photomontage and its possible influences, 1857 - 2007 : a timeline ... interior frame Edgar Allen Poe 1850/6: The Works of Poe The Works of the Late Edgar Allan Poe were published in the U.S. (1850 & 1856), although sadly edited by someone who sometimes freely rewrote and recombined the stories. Poe (1809-1849) had been known in his own lifetime — but only as a critic, not as a writer of fiction. Poe's works, along with de Sade and the recovery of European folk/fairy tales, became the seeds of a sophisticated gothic imagination (there had been an unsophisticated pre-1848 literature of 'Penny Dreadfuls' and a brief British craze for horror stage shows) — which can be seen running through Stevenson's Hyde (1886), the 'L'Esprit Decadent' novels of the 1880s, James' The Turn of the Screw (1898), Ernst's collage novels, Lovecraft, Mervyn Peake, Borges, Ray Bradbury, Angela Carter, to Jan Svankmajer and beyond. ← return to index
Photography For the image obtained, see Photograph. Lens and mounting of a large-format camera Photography is the science, art and practice of creating durable images by recording light or other electromagnetic radiation, either electronically by means of an image sensor, or chemically by means of a light-sensitive material such as photographic film.[1] Photography is employed in many fields of science, manufacturing (e.g. photolithography) and business, as well as its more direct uses for art, recreational purposes, and mass communication.

Photographs Do Not Bend: contemporary photographers Archives Research: Sam Taylor Wood, Still Life (video stills), 2001 In the arts, vanitas is a type of symbolic work of art especially associated with Northern European still life in Flanders and the Netherlands in the 16th and 17th centuries though also common in other places and periods. The word is Latin, meaning "emptiness" and loosely translated corresponds to the meaninglessness of earthly life and the transient nature of Vanity. Comprendre la profondeur de champ Un réglage judicieux de la profondeur de champ permet de personnaliser ses photos et de mettre en valeur son sujet. La Profondeur de Champ (P de C ou PdC) se détermine par le choix du diaphragme. Avec un appareil photo sans système de bascule du plan-film ou du plan de l’objectif, les différents plans de netteté sont parallèles entre eux et parallèles au plan du film ou au plan du capteur numérique.
Detroit - Bruce Gilden Background My work on foreclosed homes in Detroit has actually been a continuation of a project that started in Fort Myers, Florida in September 2008. For me the major concentration of the work is on the houses or what’s left of the houses. I chose to photograph them mostly straight on like my street work in a very blunt fashion. To let the houses speak for themselves. After going to Florida and continuing in Detroit I realized that foreclosure is one part of a circle.
Inspiration – un peu d’histoire Texte intégral [213 ko] Stanley G. Triggs William Notman a ouvert son studio de Montréal en 1856 et, d'après ce que nous savons, il n'a réalisé en l'espace de quatorze ans que quelques simples collages, ne comprenant qu'un ou deux personnages. Or il connaît certainement cette technique, car l'année où il quitte l'Écosse, en 1856, George Washington Wilson achève une grande composition ovale de portraits en buste, One Hundred and One Citizens of Aberdeen1, première image d'une série de sept qui seront largement diffusées. On admet généralement que Wilson est le premier à avoir mis en pratique les techniques du découpage et du collage de photographies individuelles pour composer une photographie de groupe.
alec soth: in the pool of images Represented by the Magnum agency, collected by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, commissioned by the New York Times and The New Yorker and head of his own publishing house, Little Brown Mushroom, Alec Soth is about as credible as a contemporary documentary photographer can get. His new exhibition, Gathered Leaves, at London's Science Museum (they're partnered with the National Media Museum in Bradford, hence their Media Space, focusing on photography and film) includes the span of his four major bodies of work from his first book, Sleeping by the Mississippi (published in 2004), until now. Shown chronologically, it reveals the evolution of his work, and the constant exploration of the vast expanse of the USA.

Theologians back then called this “Dark night of the soul”. My partner-friend-self appointed grandpa Don suggested I learn about the past, I reluctantly accepted.

App removes wandering people from photos The Remove app is designed to remove bystanders from photos taken by mobile devices Image Gallery (3 images) It's kind of a funny thing, when you think about it ... even though it's normal to see other people milling about in public places, when we take photos of those places, we often don't want any of those people in our pictures. Lee Friedlander / Biography & Images - Atget Photography.com / Videos Books & Quotes Photography has generally been defended on the ground that it is useful, in the sense that the McCormick reaper and quinine have been useful. Excellent and persuasive arguments have been developed in this spirit; these are well known and need not be repeated here. It should be added however that some of the very best photography is useful only as juggling, theology, or pure mathematics is useful --- that is to say, useless, except as nourishment for the human spirit.
Tree Planter Art Installations Brighten Up Torontos Streets Tree planters are often placed on the streets with good intentions of adding a necessary boost of green space, yet they can often become neglected within large sprawling cities where no one takes direct responsibility. Martindale hopes that his Outside the Planter projects encourage people to have more direct participation and interest in their shared public spaces. As he states: “We all have stakes in our shared environments, and this public project directly engages with Toronto’s urban fabric. One of the primary intents of the Outside the Planter Boxes project is to encourage more direct participation and interest in our shared public spaces - to demonstrate that the public can play a more consciously active role in how our city is shaped.”
