    Here is the gallery of one Alexey Titarenko, an old school photographer who does interesting things with long exposure. He captures busy areas in urban settings, and lets his camera capture long trailing shadowy figures as they move about, creating an utterly different story than reality. http://www.alexeytitarenko.com/#/cityofshadows/

  • Dennis Hopper – The Lost Album

    As if Dennis Hopper wasn’t already practically the epitome of the word “cool”, here is a gallery of his photographic work to enjoy. Dennis’ “counterculture cred” allowed him to get into some unique situations for a photographer.

    Vivan Maier was a nanny, and nothing more than that for all outward appearances. But she lived a double life – part of the time she was a nanny, part of the time she was a street photographer in Chicago, IL with an acute eye for catching people in just the right moment. She never…

    ‘m currently in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, a very scenic place. There is lots to look at here – the countryside is very beautiful, the mountains are gorgeous, and there are plenty of parks with hiking trails, waterfalls, beautiful forests, etc. So one thing I didn’t expect to find here was an abandoned coal mine. It’s probably…

  • Human Contrast – Jim Bryant Photography

    Jim Bryant, a photojournalist and master of photography, shares a blog article called Human Contrast. His images are fantastic, and one in the series stood out to me. It is a street scene, two young boys holding tennis rackets between their legs, face to face, discussing whatever it is that little boys talk about. To…

    Here is one of my own images. I like minimalist images, especially if there is an unknown element to them. What is the number nine signifying here? Why was it printed so large?
