#47 Is pretty mind boggling as well. I can't imagine being on that ship, despite the fact that it probably weighs 60,000 tonnes, it looks so fragile

I just love the context it supplies for "where was someone really important when xyz happened." I am somewhat amused that the football (I assume) was brought right in to the school room. You know, in case we felt like nuking someone.

So quickly said, I love how there are so many elements that build up the image instead of cluttering it.

Some dude buys a box of negatives for $400, starts scanning them, and discovers some unbelievable, completely unseen street photography. He finds out they're all by a woman named Vivian Maier. He googled, and all he found was an obituary from a few days back. Here's a video http://www.wttw.com/main.taf?p=42,8,80&pid=A1hO97qcWo7ViDL_rWniVH2LakYxNa7J And here's a blog of the guy whose trying to scan over 100,000 of her negatives. http://vivianmaier.blogspot.com/

Wow that really is fantastic. The video is worth a watch. From the few they show there's some really good stuff in there. I can't imagine what hundreds of thousands of rolls of film cost to shoot and develop. And that huge bin full of undeveloped rolls... it's like she just enjoyed shooting for the fun of taking pictures not even the satisfaction of seeing it afterwords.

I was clicking through all of the pictures on his site and he explained his set up pretty well. Here is the first part of a three part explanation. Just click through the "older" posts and it will bring you to part 2 and three.

It's so perfect, it looks kind of fake. I'm thinking part of it is there's nothing in the shot to give a sense of scale.

I just thought you might like to know that, contrary to concerns in that thread, the image is almost straight out of camera, with only minor brightness/contrast adjustment.

drat, I just spent the last 40 minutes on this site. So many awesome photos I can't pick just one to even show in the thread. Her portraits have so much life in them. She even makes great landscapes. The sheer volume of great photos makes me want to run out into the middle of the street and start shooting. loving inspired. http://www.emilyshur.com

brad industry posted:Interview - http://toomuchchocolate.org/?p=167 This interview is boss. It answers a bunch of questions for me and was even more inspiring. I have been pouring through so much magazine content lately, I'm trying to expand on the work I'm doing with my business magazine. It's kind of cool that we're growing together. The publisher is contemplating launching a lifestyle magazine and I'm figuring out how I can just be on the payroll instead of freelancing. From the interview, I like how she separates commercial, editorial, and fine art into levels of creative control but always insists on consistency. My goal this year is to become more consistent. Also, I'm definitely taking up what she said about being upfront and honest with subjects.
