Tomás Saraceno So how can we have both networks and spheres? How do we avoid the pitfalls of a globalization that has no real globe in which to place everything? In a work presented at the Venice Biennale in 2009, Tomás Saraceno provided a great, and no doubt unintended, metaphor for social theory. We should have known this all along: a cloth is nothing but a finely-woven network, with a clear transition between one thread and the next, depending on the density of the stitching. More interesting still is the theory of envelopes—the concept implied by this percept. Standing in the middle of Saraceno's work, the experience is inescapable: the very possibility of having an envelope around a local habitat is given by the length, number, and solidity of the connectors that radiate out in all directions. The other remarkable feature of the work is that although there are many local orderings— including spheres within spheres—there is no attempt at nesting all relations within one hierarchical order.

Part 3 of Color Berlin - Last one!Photography2010 Museum Galery Ansel Adams Ansel Easton Adams (February 20, 1902 – April 22, 1984) was an American photographer and environmentalist. His black-and-white landscape photographs of the American West, especially Yosemite National Park, have been widely reproduced on calendars, posters, and in books.[1] With Fred Archer, Adams developed the Zone System as a way to determine proper exposure and adjust the contrast of the final print. The resulting clarity and depth characterized his photographs. Adams founded the Group f/64 along with fellow photographers Willard Van Dyke and Edward Weston. Early life[edit] Childhood[edit] Adams was born in the Western Addition of San Francisco, California, to distinctly upper-class parents Charles Hitchcock Adams and Olive Bray Adams. In 1903, his family moved 2 miles (3 km) west to a new home near the Seacliff neighborhood, just south of the Presidio Army Base. Adams was a hyperactive child and prone to frequent sickness and hypochondria. Youth[edit] Photography career[edit] 1920s[edit]
Stunning Smeared Sky Photography by Matt Molloy EmailEmail Canada-based photographer Matt Molloy presents a gorgeous series titled “Smeared Sky”, where a final picture is composed out of hundreds of separate shots. All the individual photos are taken from the timelapses he shoots himself – and for everyday Matt doesn’t make one, he shoots two the next day. Matt has found that the sunrises work best, but whatever landscape and daytime he chooses, Matt’s photos have a beautiful smeared and dream-like effect. We bet you haven’t seen the skies that beautiful yet! Website: 500px
Beauty and the Book:... Several great reasons to pick up a book: These artists are bringing literature to life. Clockwise from top left: "The Book of the Lost"(2011) by Su Blackwell; "Grolier" (2005) by Brian Dettmer; "Little Red Riding Hood" (detail) (2010) by Su Blackwell; "Paper Manipulation 1" (2002) and "Butterflies" (2012) both by Louisa Boyd. Recently we’ve highlighted the work of artists breaking ground in various media, working with everything from fish parts to scrap metal. Paper has also made a comeback, but not in the traditional sense - artists like Louisa Boyd, Brian Dettmer and Su Blackwell are using books as a medium, lending a novel perspective (pun intended) to the concept of artistic narrative. In this photo-essay, we allow ourselves to be happily consumed by the story. Boyd’s own sketchbooks inspired her to create works from the pages themselves. Many of Boyd's book works reflect themes in nature. Boyd approaches topics that are embodied by the tomes she reconstructs.

Education[edit] Gursky was born in Leipzig in 1955, but grew up in Düsseldorf, the son and grandson of commercial photographers. Career and style[edit] Before the 1990s, Gursky did not digitally manipulate his images.[5] In the years since, Gursky has been frank about his reliance on computers to edit and enhance his pictures, creating an art of spaces larger than the subjects photographed. "The first time I saw photographs by Andreas Gursky...I had the disorienting sensation that something was happening—happening to me, I suppose, although it felt more generalized than that.

Comfort Zone Photography Photographer Tadao Cern spent last summer to take pictures of strangers lying on their beach towel. The result is the Comfort Zone series, where each of the pictures tells a different story. Interesting creations to discover in the following shots. Spotlight | Kento Mizuno Kento Mizuno’s keen eye, skill, and passion for capturing nature are far beyond his years. A senior at The Bay School of San Francisco, Mizuno has already interned with a National Geographic photographer and won several nature photography awards including a high school scholarship sponsored by the North American Nature Photography Association (NANPA). His photographs are featured in private collections in Paris, New York, and San Francisco. In this interview with Photoshop.com, he shares feelings about photography and his creative process. Photoshop.com: What piece of equipment can’t you live without and why? Kento Mizuno: Besides my Nikon D300 and my computer, I wouldn't be able to live without any of my f1.4 lenses. Photoshop.com: What role does Adobe® Photoshop® software play in your photography? Kento Mizuno: I want as much control over any given photograph as possible, whether it’s destined for Facebook or a studio wall. Kento Mizuno: About a hundred. Kento Mizuno: Hiroshi Sugimoto
Interview: Magical Insect Photographer When we first came across Nadav Bagim's macro insect photography, we were taken aback by just how magical he could make their miniature world look. His photos seemed like they came out of a storybook or a Disney/Pixar movie. Filled with beautiful colors and a generous helping of bokeh, they seemed almost out of this world. After we found out that he only uses Photoshop for slight tweaks, we were even more impressed. What inspired you to start this series? When I started working on the series, I didn’t even know it was going to become one. I would also like to note the works of two extremely talented photographers whose work inspired me greatly through the earlier stages of my photography - Leon Bass and Igor Siwanowicz. How did you shoot all of this all in-camera? Knowledge, experience and, most of all, lots and lots of patience. There are two aspects to that. The other element is the cast. Directing the insects requires understanding of their behaviors. How did you make the colors pop?
Amy's FAQs - Matt Moyer & Amy Toensing | On Assignment As a kid, I was obsessed with this book “The Family of Woman”. It’s a compilation of black and white photographs that tells the story of womanhood. It’s the feminine story of humanity; it has no borders in terms of race, politics or geography. I could never get enough of it and eventually the cover fell off and pages slipped out. My schooling focused on anthropology and sociology, but I also just took whatever subjects interested me including poetry and art. I left SALT thinking I would never be a professional photographer or get paid. My biggest goal when I started was to find ways to keep making my pictures so I could grow as a photographer. After working professionally for four years, I went to graduate school for visual communication. Currently I use Canon, but when I shot film (before 2005) I used Nikon and Leica. In general, I feel comfortable in lots of different environments and like the challenge of adapting to different situations.
