London-based Mary Burnett just took me on a trip through the Musée de Préhistoire des Gorges du Verdon. But instead of walking through what may be a non-descript space, her photographs transported me back in time and showed me a glimpse of what used to be. Beautifully framed, lit and colored. Her unconventional view of the museum makes me want to jump with joy. What if we could see the whole world like this?
Happy Friday, friends.

SILVER & LIGHT from Ian Ruhter on Vimeo.
This is a beautiful project, with beautiful people, beautiful craft, and pure Friday awesomeness. Going back to the roots without leaving society. You know what I’m going to say: RAD!

COPIA
Plenty, a plentiful supply
Brian Ulrich has spent ten years documenting the many layers of infinite commercialism to be found in our country. The series touches on the economic implications of over-consumption, highlights the particularities of not being able to consider anything due to too much being available and makes a full circle when some of the stores first visited end up dark and empty as the economy plummeted. Ulrich set this all up in three chapters—RETAIL, THRIFT, and DARK STORES.
An incredible insight. Spend some time looking and absorbing.
PS: sorry for the late post friends. Read the rest of this entry »

Amanda Jasnowski is a 19 year old Spanish photographer, who currently lives in the MidWest. Huh. She’s a triplet. She shoots film and digital. 35mm and medium format. Her photos are eery, sparse, evocative and haunting. They feel like perfect reflections of her scattered and unique background.

There was a great article in the NY Times last week about a banker who takes pictures of people in NYC so that they have an opportunity to share their stories, harrowing and opposite of uplifting as they may be. Chris Arnade is a regular guy who goes out with a camera and talks to listens to people.
More words and pictures after the jump.

God dang, Troy Moth makes some stark and jarring photos. It’s fitting that the titles of his projects sound more like black metal albums than photo projects (see: Darkness, The Welcoming, Norwegian Fjord Horse, etc.)
But I mean, read Troy’s bio and tell me if you’re surprised about the subject of his awesomely dark work:
Troy Moth was born in a remote tree-planting camp on the west coast of Canada and spent the first few years of life in a tent guarded by large dogs. He loved the wild and abundant nature he grew up immersed in, but eventually the call to adventure became too much and he moved, first across Canada to the big city (Toronto), then across the world to India, to pursue a career in photography.

About eleven months ago an ambitious Canadian Designer named Aaron Christopher Judd started a project called “365 Days of Tumblr“ . Every day of the year he posts a well-executed design conceived from an inspirational quote. Aaron’s work is a real double whammy of good design and heavy-hitting quotes. I really like going back to the beginning of his project and seeing how Aaron has refined his technique over time. Definitely worth a follow if you have a tumblr account.

Bjorn Arnason is a photographer based in Reykjavik, Iceland who has mastered the law of thirds. His work plays with space and balance in an interesting way. I appreciate how he takes large landmarks/objects and makes them feel small by focusing more on the atmosphere rather than centering the subject in the shot.
Check out more of his work here.

Another wonderful edition of Romka Magazine, the publication that tells the stories of photographers and their favorite photos. I was a big fan of the previous issue and #6 is no let down.
Featured in this issue: Jerry Hsu, Reilly Hodgson, Noah Kalina, Aoife O’Dwyer, Lisa Wasman and about a million other awesome picture makers.

You guys know by now that I am a sucker for portrait photography that captures foreign cultures. Malte, I believe he’s based in Berlin, Germany, has shared his eyes during his travels. And: he’s also just an amazing photographer. Eye-porn, really.
This strip is the answer to the self-imposed question: What would India look like if it were a movie?
RAD.
