This is horrifying but very interesting. I can't stop staring. I feel really weird looking at these images. o.o

 Space Suits by San Diego Air & Space Museum Archives, on Flickr There's a whole bunch of these and they're all pretty much amazing.

http://archive.poyi.org/items/show/21546 - Venus Rising I finally found it. I'd been looking for this image for ages without knowing who made it, but I remembered the story. It's a beautiful image on its own but when you couple it with its back story it just breaks your heart.

Planes, boats, Olympic venues, military installations, churches and all sorts from all over the world in varying states of falling apart.

I have to wonder, though, how do people manage to find a bunch of crashed planes all over the world and trudge out to photograph them? Or get so close to even retired military installations?

Here's one for Alaska for example: http://planecrashmap.com/list/ak/ Recovering planes from remote sites is really expensive, so typically they get left there to rot. As the map shows, Alaska has nearly a thousand of them on record. If even a small fraction of those have debris left behind, that's still a lot of sites available to visit. edit - poking around a bit deeper because the post made me curious, it looks like the USAF maintains a list of crashes that have debris visible from the air: http://www.1af.acc.af.mil/units/afrcc/annualreports/statecrashlocator/index.asp Including coordinates for each site. Seems like it would be fun to visit some of them. xzzy fucked around with this message at 17:01 on May 2, 2013 |

Time to hit Google Maps and plan some road trips. Edit: Apparently the USAF needs some help with maps. Those locations are either in lakes, or inside houses. One of the locations for NJ is actually in Canada. ZippySLC fucked around with this message at 19:10 on May 2, 2013 |

I think the other part of the problem is the coordinates aren't precise enough. They only publish degrees and minutes, which means any coordinate can cover about a square mile of area. I put a bunch of coordinates into google maps and couldn't find anything.. most of the planes listed are small single engine craft but there's some big planes in there too (there's a DC-8 in Utah) and I couldn't find anything. edit - This is the DC-8: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Airlines_Flight_2860 Looks like most of it was cleaned up, if you google around you can find some articles about people visiting the site and seeing rubble. I'm guessing the Air Force report isn't necessarily current for how much "plane carnage" actually exists. xzzy fucked around with this message at 20:47 on May 2, 2013 |

If even a small fraction of those have debris left behind, that's still a lot of sites available to visit. There's also two airplanes and the landing gear from another one in a hangar outside this tiny museum in the middle of nowehere. One of the planes was an old Aeroflot that crash landed in Iceland. The USSR decided it was too expensive to do anything with the plane, so they basically asked the farmer if he wanted to add the plane to his collection of stuff and he said yes, and so now you can wander around in it.

I don't know that I have seen a photographer capture the feel of the Australian landscape quite so well maybe it's because he's Belgian. I also find it amazing that he takes these mostly around Canberra, which is potentially the dullest place on earth. And this is one of the most consistent Flickr streams I have ever seen.

Thanks for sharing that, I've always had trouble shooting images of Australia that are truly Australian without being a terrible cliché.

That's a pretty dickhole assumption, especially since I actually do a lot of fine art and show in galleries and festivals in between paid jobs. Artist statements are usually bullshit and everyone knows it. Get over yourself. I like a lot of those photos and enjoy hearing the story behind the work, but a lot of that is wordy fluff.

Whether you think artist statements are pretentious or not they are a thing that happens. Write one about your work and try to come up with something that isn't "me like pretty pictures". It's harder than it looks.
