Creepy, Crusty, Crumbling: Illegal Tour of Abandoned Six Flags New Orleans [75 Pics] Hurricane Katrina killed this clown. According to the photographer, “An abandoned Six Flags amusement park, someone spray painted ‘Six Flags 2012 coming soon’ on the wall above the downed head. But they were clownin.’ Welcome to Zombie Land kids! Chained dreams of fun at Six Flags New Orleans, abandoned Jazzland – that’s what Six Flags opened as “Jazzland” in 2000. Some photographers can see past the lifeless amusement park’s decay and desolation, showing us that there is still a chance the place could be cheery and not cheerless. Like a Bad Dream. Just in case you don’t know the scoop on what Hurricane Katrina did to New Orleans and Six Flags, this photo is of New Orleans, LA, on Sept. 14, 2005. Unlike the bleak amusement-less park above, some photographers can still see and share with us the echo of magic in the abandoned theme park Six Flags – even 6 years later in 2011. Once upon a time, Six Flags was filled with children’s laughter – but now it’s sad, silent, and surreal.
Stranger Project on the Behance Network I started this project in 2007, my first goal when i started is to breack the usual rule of « dont speack to stranger, dont disturbe people in public space» So this is my approche at first: Questioning the modern world in which we are living and trying to break this individualism and the anonymity of the big city. By going into “Non-lieux” (no existing places) (subways, malls, and crowded streets at rush hours …;) and by talking to people to take photos, I break the usual way this modern world works for a few instants. So all my model are stanger meeting in the street, trains, subway, mails,etc. ( I look for an editor for making a Book )
Yoann Lemoine I was born in 1983, and grew up in a captivating environment full of World War II stories, travels to Eastern Europe, where my family’s roots are, music and 90’s advertising, where both my parents worked. My father slipped a pencil into my hand when I was a kid and I never really dropped it. That’s how I really started to express myself. Later, I discovered directors like Wim Wenders, Elia Kazan, Terrence Mallick, Michel Gondry or Gus Van Sant, painters like John Singer Sargent, Edward Hopper, Mark Rothko, photographers like Stephen Shore, Joel Sternfeld. They definitely influenced my eye and my sensibility. I started learning illustration and animation at Emile Cohl School, Lyon, and screen-printing techniques at Swindon College, London. Call me a do-it-yourselfer. All these techniques, in principle very different, are really linked together for me, as they are all grounded in my will to materialize my emotions, regardless of the means.

Garden of Extinct Flowers | Affidavit March 26, 2018 “Heirs to a civilization that is thousands of years old and rich in untold economic possibilities, we stand ready to continue in the total recovery of our personalities.” - Pan-African Cultural Manifesto, 1969 We languidly watched the watery movement of time; now, we see a wave on the horizon. During the several hundred years that Europeans dominated the other peoples of the world, we also dominated the water, the forests, the terrain of the world. What’s called climate change is not only one change, really, but a web of changes which will ultimately exacerbate the already existing disparities in access to resources. Following the collapse of Apartheid, South Africa successfully managed the impossible: in 1994’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the nation united for a full recounting of the crimes involved in Apartheid, without any punishments or blame, just closure.

A One Man Mobile Studio At Burning Man When acclaimed studio photographer Eric Schwabel goes to Burning Man he doesn’t leave his passion behind.

Jim Goldberg Sunday, 25 October 2009 Jim Goldberg Work from Rich and Poor. “Rich and Poor confronts the myth of the American dream with the harsh economic reality of the American class system. Yet this documentary is more complex than that, for by including the protagonists’ voices in the form of text on his images Goldberg represents not just the polarity of class but the particularity of human experience. Intimate portraits taken in private spaces these pictures could only have been produced with a level of trust built up over time. More exposing than a nude portrait, Goldberg’s approach is however essentially collaborative – not a relinquishing of authorship (these texts are still the result of the photographer’s carefully formulated questioning) but an attempt to solve the problem of creating a balanced documentary.

Designed by Spanish architects Designhouses the hotel is located in the heart of a traditional village, next to the 17th century church, Viura’s architecture, is a true departure from traditional form: a series of concrete cubes, one on top of the other, that seem to rise out of the ground. The architecture successfully links the interior to the exterior landscape; floor to ceiling windows throughout and private terraces ensure that there is always a view of the village, the Sierra de Cantabria or the church. Clever use of partitions, glass and sophisticated lighting add to the ambiance and fun. About Richard Barker Love Interior Design & Exotic Travel?
