100-Year-Old Negatives Discovered in Block of Ice in Antarctica - My Modern Met For the past 100 years, a box of never-before-seen negatives has been preserved in a block of ice in Antarctica. Recently, Conservators of the New Zealand Antarctic Heritage Trust came across the 22 exposed, but unprocessed, cellulose nitrate negatives during an attempt to restore an old exploration hut. The negatives are believed to be from Ernest Shackleton's 1914-1917 Ross Sea Party, a group that was stranded in the hut during a blizzard when their ship blew out to sea. They were eventually rescued, but the box remained buried until now. A Wellington photography conservator carefully processed the negatives in order to reveal the historic mysteries on each frame.

Série de fotos incrível mostra quem foram as últimas “sereias” do Japão No Japão da década de 20, centenas de mulheres mergulhavam nuas em busca de ostras e pérolas. Com um fôlego invejável, elas chegavam a ficar mais de 2 minutos debaixo d’água, inclusive durante o inverno. Chamadas de Amas, essas mulheres foram registradas por Iwase Yoshiyuki em sua Kodak. As fotografias são um dos únicos registros dessa milenar profissão que se extinguiu algumas décadas depois. Utilizando uma máscara para os olhos e chinelos especiais, mulheres e meninas, também conhecidas como sereias, enfrentavam os mares por toda a costa japonesa. Cada mergulho de 2 minutos em busca de ostras era intercalado com pequenos intervalos de respiro. Os homens, aliás, raramente participavam da busca por ostras. Todas as fotos © Iwase Yoshiyuki

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. Now comes 100 Ideas That Changed Photography (public library) — an equally concise and intelligent chronicle of the most seminal developments in the history of today’s most prevalent visual art. From technical innovations like the cyanotype (#12), the advent of color (#23), the Polaroid (#84), and moving pictures (#20) to paradigms like photojournalism (#66) and fabrication (#93) to new ways of looking at the world like aerial photography (#54), micro/macro (#55), and stopping time (#49), each of the ideas is accompanied by a short essay contextualizing its history and significance. Syracuse University fine art professor Mary Warner Marien writes in the introduction: Images and captions courtesy of Laurence King
