One old picture and a Question for you

.




















I wonder when this plastic soldiers will be out of date or
out of fashion, any how i think the children absorb alot
of this symbols and they fade in some point in life.
mine faded while in army, not all of us are "lucky" enough
to be in the army, so io invite to respond this post and say exactly
when you started to see the soldier symbol from above, from a
critical eye?

Jason Lazarus



In a perfect world I would post more of my photos, since time is in a shortage I turn to others (maybe because of the guilt i had staring at their sites).
Jason's work is typology (actually the nirvana project made me put him up on the blog).
The texts engages the work, and in some way activates the image.
You shouldn't miss the nirvana project, it's the best description of "what is music" that i saw in a long time, not technically but it gives us the essence of what it is for us, reminds me a nice movie I saw.

Love grady's use of the flash, it reminds me that for some time I thought that nothing but natural light should make a picture.
I changed my mind obviously. as a photographer i am used seeing the picture composing it in my head in advance and make a picture when the composition looks good.
There is some convenience using only natural or available light, but working with flash you are more close to a painter, you have to imagine how the beam of light will bounce of all the elements in the frame (of course digital camera make trial and error cause less pocket pain)

Andrea Diefenbach


Andrea is sensitive in her documentary photojournalism work.
There are few people that can engage their subjects like she does, delicate sensitive and very very attuned, the amazing use of light or should I say attention to light is just a bonus.

Note about photojournalism: yes it is problematic judging photojournalism the same way you judge art photography, these are real people and real stories that the photographs are dealing with.
lets say it's in the gap between, some kind of poetic documentation.

THE GEOGRAPHIC OBSERVATORY


This is one of those things you stumble upon while looking in a site that you liked and then being curious about the links thinking, well good guys hang around together arent they?

What you are looking at is a line produced by a GPS traking device on a dog walking in various places and by disconnecting the enviourment and foucusing on the movment, the
GO say it alot better:

"The Canine Tracking Project uses GPS drawing as a means of questioning and understanding the environment that we inhabit with an altered set of priorities. GPS tracking allows us to follow the movement of a dog through the landscape. Movement, direction, speed, and tempo are recorded via satellite and the GPS unit. This altered perspective of the land, or environment, offers an abstract perspective to a cross-section of our current moment in time and our environment's current condition."

The geographic observatory are truly Geo-Graphic, visualizing environment and Eco issues using art and info graphics that makes that brick in my head move a bit, looking for its right place since it moved by this visuals.

You can also download free of charge a few of the GO's investigations.
