Photographing the things homeless people in California own. Huang Qingjun spent nearly a decade travelling to remote parts of China photographing families outside their homes with all their household possessions. Now he has done the same for homeless people in California. "In 2010, the first time I stepped on American soil, I saw lots of homeless people on the streets of New York, but didn't dare approach them, because I'd been told many of them were linked to drugs, robbery and violence," says Huang Qingjun. During a visit to the Los Angeles in 2015 with a film crew, he saw dozens of tents erected on the roads near the crew's offices - a homeless encampment. "I had previously photographed 53 families with all their worldly belongings, and I wanted to see what sort of belongings these homeless families would have. " Although Huang doesn't speak English, it didn't discourage him from trying to take portraits. "I thought a smile would be the best language, and that pictures don't need words," he says.

"I didn't think they'd start yelling at me. Sina Visitor System. Winter is coming soon by Andy Seliverstoff - Photo 136673823 - 500px.

Tumblr_nqtq3ih0Vg1ree7oao7_540.jpg (JPEG Image, 536 × 810 pixels) Google 相簿無限容量上傳 1600萬畫素照片 1080p影片 -電腦玩物. Google I/O 大會今日舉行並發表了一系列新服務,其中有一個我們立即可用,並且和生活息息相關的重大發表,那就是全新獨立的「 Google 相簿( Google Photos )」,和之前的 Google+ 相簿相比有非常多的改進,今天這篇文章,就讓一直以來使用 Google 相簿管理生活照片的我來為大家做一番完整介紹。 而在 Google 相簿眾多新功能中,一定要先提出來分享的,就是原本 Google 相簿裡的免費無限容量儲存空間機制,這一次進步到可以免費無限容量儲存「 16MP(俗稱 1600 萬畫素)照片」、「 1080p 影片」!

這一個強大的「免費無限量空間方案」,讓 Google 相簿不只大勝 Apple iCloud 照片圖庫 的空間容量,而且在可以儲存更高解析度照片影片的新方案下 Google 相簿儲存照片的品質也可以更接近 Flickr 的 1TB 免費照片空間。 更棒的是,全新的「 Google 相簿」今天就會在網頁端、電腦端、 Android 與 iOS 上向所有用戶正式公開,我們立刻就可以開始使用。 全新獨立的 Google 相簿網站 延伸閱讀: 免費無限容量的高解析度照片儲存空間: 獨立出來的新 Google 相簿帶來的新空間方案是非常讓人驚喜的,對於一般用戶來說等於是可以「無限容量的儲存所有高解析度照片」,因為就拿我剛剛買的 Galaxy S6 來說,他的相機照片解析度也不過就是 1600 萬畫素! 而現在「立即生效」的 Google 相簿新容量方案可以無限量儲存 1600 萬畫素(16MP)照片、 1080p 影片(沒有找到是否有時間長度限制),等於目前大多數手機拍照都可以用最高解析度儲存。 我們只要記得做好設定,以網頁版的 Google 相簿來說,就是在設定中選擇「高畫質」上傳即可,這樣就能獲得無限容量的高解析度照片上傳空間。 下面這張就是我用手機拍攝上傳的照片,選擇「高畫質」上傳,可以看到它的解析度維持在 15.9 MP 5312 × 2988 ! 在最新獨立的手機版 Google 相簿 App 中,一樣可以選擇「高品質」的無限容量上傳模式,並且跟之前一樣,可以在上傳時選擇「連線 WiFi 時才上傳」、「充電時才上傳」,這樣一來自動備份手機照片就不怕耗電耗流量。

那麼,無限容量的照片上傳方案到底有沒有壓縮照片呢? 甚至還多了一個新的照片拼貼功能。 The Voigtländer Nokton 40mm f/1.4 [short review]. | Photographs by Peter. [Disclaimer: Similar to my Voigtländer Nokton 35mm f/1.2 write-up, this is not a comprehensive review, but one user’s experience.] (photo courtesy of Voigtländer.com) The Voigtländer Nokton 40/1.4 is an inexpensive, light, and compact little gem of a lens that begs to be carried everywhere. I’ve used it for many years on both film and digital Leica M cameras and I can honestly state that it is truly one of the most versatile lenses I own, at any price. However, on the internet you’ll find some criticism set aside for this lens, and consequently the “Nokton 40″ is often overlooked as a viable lens option for those looking to dress up their shiny new M8, M9, etc.

Somehow, it is viewed as less than worthy of a Leica rangefinder. Well, there’s a fair degree of Leica “snobbery” when it comes to M mount lenses. However, for me, the Nokton 40/1.4 is a special lens that although objectively somewhat falls short of the Leica offerings, subjectively always seems to inspire. This lens is tiny. The families revealing everything they've ever bought online - BBC News. Photographer Huang Qingjun is famous in China for his photo series, Family Stuff. Since 2003 he has been asking subjects to pose with everything they own, neatly displayed in front of their homes. Huang has eyes that crinkle at the sides when he smiles.

It's a friendly face, and a huge asset when he asks people to do things that you might expect would result in a flat refusal. "I look for people from all corners of China to showcase what they have. It's a transparent and interesting way to look into people's lives," Huang explains. "People usually only invite good friends to their homes, because it's a private space, but my pictures show what people possess.

Huang's new project is based on a similar idea - this time, he asked people to display everything they've ever bought online. "Taobao saw my Family Stuff project, and asked if I wanted to do a special series looking at online shopping," Huang says. "Everyone understands materialistic things in different ways.

Proof That Dogs Love You No Matter How Much Money You Don’t Have. Once a dog forms a close relationship with a caring owner, their loyalty can be unbreakable, and they will stick with their owner through thick and thin. And unlike us, dogs don’t pass judgment on people who are down on their luck or homeless. This post is a tribute to homeless dogs, who love and stick with their homeless owners no matter what. Pet dogs offer vital help to the homeless. They provide them with unconditional love in a time when much of society has turned their back on them and they protect their owners from the many dangers of the streets. Surprisingly, many homeless dogs are relatively well-cared for. Homeless owners will often choose to go hungry themselves rather than see their companion go hungry, although they are often unable to provide their pets with professional veterinary help.

Syria conflict intensifies - photos of civil war fighting in Damascus and Aleppo. War-torn Iraq facing massive refugee crisis. The humanitarian crisis in Iraq is dire. Destabilized by a catastrophic civil war across its border in Syria, facing a genocidal threat to minorities at the hands of Sunni militants and divided by sectarian tensions within, Iraq is now home to about 1.6 million refugees and asylum-seekers, according to United Nations estimates.

Nearly 1 million of those refugees are internally displaced Iraqis, many fleeing the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS). For tens of thousands of minorities in northern Iraq, including Christians and Yazidis – an ancient Kurdish sect with ties to Zoroastrianism – ISIS presented an existential threat: Convert to Islam or die. Some chose to convert, as recent ISIS propaganda videos appear to document. Most fled into the Sinjar Mountains without food or water, where their plight brought the attention of the United States.

Photos of the week | Analysis & Opinion | Reuters. Thought-Provoking Photographs Of People Living Alone In The Wilderness. Despite the technological advances that we use every day to bring each other closer together, there are still some that choose to leave everything behind and live in total solitude. In his photo series ‘Escape,’ Russian photographer Danila Tkachenko traveled through Russia and Ukraine in search of hermits living in self-imposed exile, far away from any city or village.

Tkachenko’s work raises questions about what identity truly means when we are forced to live how society tells us to: “School, work, family – once in this cycle, you are a prisoner of your own position. You should be pragmatic and strong, or become an outcast or a lunatic. How to remain yourself in the midst of this?” More info: danilatkachenko.com | peperoni-books.de (h/t: mymodernmet)
