Hidden Light: The Visual Language of an Autistic Photographer | NeuroTribes Hello there! If you enjoy the content on Neurotribes, consider subscribing for future posts via email or RSS feed. Magnuson Park, Seattle, February 10 The playful symmetry of fin-shaped sculptures on grass. Sun bright on ivory petals framed in blue water and sky, or exploding through a lacy armature of branches. Meanwhile Sargent, who is just 20 years old, shines his own hidden light through these haunting images. It turned out to be a lot. Buddha, Flower World, Maltby WA Sargent was born in Tokyo. A few months later, however, Sargent abruptly withdrew into himself and began throwing tantrums that terrified his parents. Karen and Robert's Farm, Forrest's birthday, 2010 Denny and Rebecca tried everything to help their son, from a smorgasbord of psychiatric drugs to homeopathy, hydrotherapy, and blessings from a Tibetan priest. “We were completely heartbroken, but we could no longer keep Forrest here,” Denny says. “Forrest was in hell,” says Denny.

University of Edinburgh Image Collections On synesthesia Macro par Objectif inversé Mercredi 14 janvier 3 14 /01 /Jan 21:18 Il y a quelques temps j'ai pu récupéré un objectif Canon FD 50mm ouvrant à 1.8. Il s'agit d'un objectif pour des appareils datant d'avant les années 90. Il ne peut pas se monter directement sur mon boîtier (EOS400D) car la fixation n'est pas la même. En achetant une bague d'adaptation j'aurais pu le monter quand même, mais j'aurai perdu de la lumière et de la qualité optique... Alors j'ai voulu tenter une petite expérience que j'ai déjà pu voir ici ou là sur le net: Monter l'objectif à l'envers sur le boîtier. Attention, la visée sera assombrie et donc il sera plus difficile de faire la mise au point si l'éclairage n'est pas bon. On visse ensuite la bague d'inversion sur l'objectif, puis cette bague possédant le même système de fixation qu'un objectif classique, on la fixe au boîtier. Si vous regardez dans le viseur, tout sera flou, c'est normal!
The artist with the bad camera | Photography With what could accurately be described as the worst camera ever made, Miroslav Tichý (1926 – 2011) would take sneaky, surreptitious shots of women around his hometown of Kyjoy in the Czech Republic, capturing thousands of pictures between the 1960s and 1985 and conducting himself in a way that would most probably arouse police suspicion today. Indeed, Miroslav Tichý was often arrested for photographing unconsenting women at the local pool. He suffered from dementia and was viewed as somewhat of an outsider though his reputation has been reassessed in recent years and his photographs are currently on show as part of the Moscow Photo Biennale at the Multimedia Art Museum until April 1. Tichý's camera was cobbled together using found parts and everyday items such as tin cans, cardboard, bottle caps and rubber bands. Miroslav Tichý with his camera, photo © Roman Buxbaum, 1987

BEFORE THEY PASS AWAY Papua is where we started our two-month trip in Oceania. As a region it’s a lot easier to travel through than New Guinea, because it’s part of Indonesia and therefore a lot safer. In total, we went to three different areas and out of all three, Papua has to be one of the only parts of the world where there’s so much variety. "Most of the other places we had knowledge of, but in this case we had zero. While the trip over mountains and through swamps was physically very arduous, it wasn’t very dangerous.
Start Your Street Photography Project (Above image by Alex Webb from his Istanbul Book) Something I have becoming more focused on is working on street photography projects. Street photography projects are important because they help you stay focused when shooting, and help you make more of a statement with a collection of images (rather than just individual images). If you have never started your own street photography project (or want some inspiration), keep reading to learn how you can start your own street photography project! Introduction: I feel that nowadays with online social networking photo-websites such as Flickr put far too much emphasis on single images. Although Flickr does have sets, the average viewer will look first at a few thumbnails of your work that interests you. James Dodd, an influential street photographer (Founder of Statement Images and co-founder of the Street Reverb Magazine) recently shut down his Flickr account, and left a parting note. When I read that sentence, it struck a note with me. 2. 3.
New Topographics: photographs that find beauty in the banal | Art and design Mundane yet mesmeric ... Stephen Shore's photograph of an alley in Presidio, Texas (1975) It is 35 years since the term "new topographics" was coined by William Jenkins, curator of a group show of American landscape photography held at George Eastman House in Rochester, New York. The show consisted of 168 rigorously formal, black-and-white prints of streets, warehouses, city centres, industrial sites and suburban houses. New Topographics by Britt Salvesen "What I remember most clearly was that nobody liked it," Frank Gohlke, one of the participating photographers told the LA Times when the exhibition was restaged last year at the LA County Museum of Art. The exhibition's clunky subtitle was "Photographs of a Man-Altered Landscape", which gave some clue as to the deeper unifying theme. Coolly architectural ... a detail of Hilla Becher's series of Pennsylvania pit head photographs (1974) Jenkins also included American work by Bernd and Hilla Becher in the show.

La Louve Good Soldier Michals by Martin Filler The photographer Duane Michals, who turns eighty on February 18, pursues a distinctive approach to his medium that seems all the more remarkable today for being so resolutely low-tech. Michals relies only on available natural light, whether he works indoors or out; prefers to shoot in empty found spaces rather than in a studio; and generally favors unmanipulated black-and-white film over digital color—which taken together seems the visual equivalent of producing vinyl LPs in a world of MP3s. Michals pioneered the use of multi-frame series to create cinematic image sequences as brief as two photos or lengthy enough to fill entire books (of which he has produced more than twenty). That narrative practice earned the disdain of ideologues who upheld the primacy of the “subjectless photograph” as advanced from the early 1960s onward by the Museum of Modern Art’s longtime photography curator, the influential John Szarkowski. “…the two parallel universes I inhabited.
