  • Boy of Blue – Macabre and Unusual Pinhole Camera Art

    Wayne Belger is, among other things, a photographer. But he doesn’t just grab his twelve megapixel high-end digital camera to shoot. He builds his own. And when I say he builds his own cameras, you better believe he goes the extra mile to make each camera unusual and extraordinary. You see, his pinhole cameras are…

  • Russian color photography ca. 1910

    Now here is something truly amazing. The Boston Globe reports on a set of color photos of the Russian empire from around 1910. How did this happen, you ask? Well… Back in the early 20th century, between 1905 and 1910, Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii, a scientist and a photographer, had the idea of educating school children…

  • Testing testing

    I found an app called ascii cam that takes a picture and converts it ascii art. Pretty cool. Hmm, for some reason though, the pic is sideways.

  • More from the Droid X

    I found an app today for the droid called Vignette. It is extremely powerful for what it does. It’s a camera app, with more effects than you can shake a stick at. Instant film, holga and lomo effects are made dead easy and there is an almost unlimited amount of variations possible, and you can…

  • Liquid Sculpture – Water Drops

    An awesome gallery of water drop photography. Martin Waugh is the photographer behind the gallery, and has refined the capture of water drops to a science. Liquid Sculpture – Water Drops.

  • Panoramas

    I discovered by accident last night that the Droid X does panoramas. Of course it does! Here is one I took this morning of the riverfront area of Wilmington, NC. [singlepic id=219 w=500 h=375 float=] Full size version, click here. Be warned, it’s huge.

  • Another Droid X post

    So far my Droid X has been absolutely incredible. I’m really fascinated with the retro camera app, and features like Swype are making it easier and easier to use. Not to mention fun little apps like google street view and sky map. So here is a handful of images that I took today between classes.…

  • Lunatic Mag

    Lunatic Magazine is a photojournalism magazine online that presents images that are striking in their grittiness, breathtaking in beauty and stark in their presentation of reality. There are currently five issues with topics ranging from illegal Chinese coal mines to the Dominican Republic’s fascination with baseball – you will be sure to find images that…

  • First experience with the Droid X

    [singlepic id=191 w=320 h=240 float=left] I got a Droid X this week. The thing is simply amazing. I’ve had a blackberry for the last two years, and the performance with it was sub optimal, in my opinion. I spent more time looking at the spinning hourglass on that blackberry than I did anything else. At…

  • The always wonderful photo site Polar Inertia has a great set of abandoned pools in their archive from summer of 2008. These pictures show the life of a pool after all the people have gone away and forgotten about it, after the water is gone and plant life and / or decay is allowed to…

  • Jesse Marshall

    [singlepic id=143 w=200 h=267 float=left] [singlepic id=142 w=200 h=267 float=left] This is my Great Uncle Jessie Marshall, MSgt US Air Corps ca 1942, on the wing of a BT-13 Vultee Vibrator.

  • Strange Russian Seaplane

    Here’s a gallery of photos from an abandoned seaplane. I’m assuming it’s Russian, as the text from the website appears to be Russian and only something from Russia would look this insane. I don’t know much about the photographer, other than that his name may possibly be Igor. If anyone knows Russian and can translate…
