May, 2009 Archives

There is a lot I’d like to post, but over the last couple of weeks I have been so busy with so many different things (work, freelancing, grad studies) that at one point I thought I might develop multiple personality disorder of some sort. For now, here is a photo from this weekend’s stroll through Quidi Vidi village and around Cuckold’s Cove. and a whole bunch of links.

First of all, thanks to my brother, here is the incredible work of Theo Jansen, a Dutch sculptor, or as he would say, kinetic sculptor.

And some random photo links:

New York Times has what looks like an amazing section of their website called Lens, which I am looking forward to exploring.

CBC recently published a short interview with Canadian photographer Donald Weber. A slideshow of his recent work in Russia accompanies the audio.

Croatian Press Photo 2009 winners have been announced and you can see the photos here. Great to see some familiar names winning.

Scientists at Cornell University mapped some 35 million Flickr photos and found out that, for example, Apple store in NYC is more often photographed than Statue of Liberty – consumer society indeed.

Here are some of the very first colour photographs ever (h/t to Andrew Sullivan)

And last, but not least, visit Visura Magazine. Some beautiful photography over there…
