An exhibit at the Harold Washington Library divulges not only into photographs of it's construction but also many other Millenium Park Attractions; among them Jaume Plensa's Crown Fountain (you know, the big faces that stare and stare until they deem it appropriate to spit water at you), and Frank Gehry's Jay Pritzker Pavilion and BP Pedestrian Bridge. ...

2009-09-16 23:44:00 Acclaimed photographer Annie Leibovitz could lose the copyrights to her life's work if she cannot make payments to a $24 million loan that came due last week.

A Disguise Within Itself: Liu Bolin Paints and Photographs
2009-09-11 02:17:00 by Sylvia KrzysztofekLiu Bolin experiments with a performative piece using himself as a disguise in his own photographs. The beautiful fine art color prints range from about 150x118cm and hung gracefully on 3 walls at the Schneider Gallery. His precise concept of "disappearing" is stunning. He plays with relationships of subject and artist as well as the idea of disappearing: subject and environment. He paints himself to blend in with the environment he is contained. A camouflage of space perhaps....
Live chat about my photographs
2009-07-31 15:48:00 Dear friend, after so many twitter links it is again time for a longer letter. Before I went for short trip to Slovakia I had this idea about doing live talk about my photographs. I am not sure if there would be interest between you to talk with my about this topic. Now when the Skype is offering possibility to share desktop I can not only talk, but also demonstrate and show my images and the way how I work on them. My idea is to have a session of five or so, people all connected by skype and myself sharing my images and talk about them or about my aproach to modifying them, possibly about some other topic. If you would have interest about participating in such a session, please leave a comment to this post and mention a topic which you would be most interested in. One of the previous twitter posts I have mentioned that I have got idea about creating a very critical series of images about current social culture in Slovakia. As you may know Slovakia is country of my origin. I am...

Amazing Light Trail Photographs.
2008-07-25 21:41:00 Amazing Light Trail Photographs.Here are some amazing light trail photographs, and if you are interested to take a few photos yourself then the Digital Photography School blog has really good beginner's guide. For instance: 'Location - the most obvious thing with location is that you'll need it to be somewhere near a road - however there's more to think about than that.' The location should be chosen to add some interest to the photo. ' This might be one where there are well lit buildings along the road, one where multiple roads merge together to create light trails in different directions, on the bend of a road so that the trails sweep through the image, near a roundabout so the trails create circular shapes, in the middle of dual carriageways.'Other Posts:Tanklimo.Interesting Tables.Interesting Tattoos.Fun With Toilet Paper.Creativity With Computer Components.

Online Photo Exhibition--"An Answerless Search?"
2008-05-11 19:01:00 For the last 9 months, I have called Chiang Mai, Thailand home. Today--May 12th--a sense of anxious accomplishment fills me as I begin my return trip to America. I wouldn't say I am ready to leave this beautiful country nor am I ready to leave the friends and influential people I have had the pleasure to be with; but, I am ready to return to Wisconsin and try and pass on some of what I have gained from Northern Thailand.I have spent second semester at Chiang Mai University studying Introductory Photography with Ajarn Por. It has been an extremely rewarding experience, and I ended up putting many more hours into it than I had originally anticipated. I am deeply grateful to Ajarn Por for his instruction and encouragement throughout the semester. Through the experience of photography I have had the chance to interact with a number of Thai people that I probably would not have met without a camera in my hand and the courage to ask "?????????????

RICHARD HOLMES: WORLD WAR II IN PHOTOGRAPHS
2008-04-27 19:44:00 Carlton Book Limited | ISBN: 18422073X | 400 pages | PDF | 74 MBHolmes' poignant book contains 500 photographs, almost all of them black-and-white and most drawn from Britain's Imperial War Museum. A few were taken by prominent photographers, such as Cecil Beaton and Robert Capa, but many of the photographers--some destined to remain unknown, others ordinary officers and men--served with army film and photographic units. There are also captured German and Japanese official photographs. Presentation is by year, from 1939 to 1945. Holmes prefaces each year with an account of its major events and briefly introduces each block of photos within a year. Although most of the pictures are war photos, some reflect the fact that millions of civilians were affected--young children being evacuated from London, a British air raid warden comforting a child rescued from a bombed-out home, German citizens made to view the horrors of the Buchenwald concentration camp, shaven-headed French women ac...

Luang Prabang--a World Heritage Site Worth Your Time
2008-04-08 16:44:00 I had the incredible delight of spending 2 days and 2 nights in Luang Prabang (Lao.co.uk, Lao Embassy, UNESCO World Heritage, Luang Prabang 2 Day, Luang Prabang Travel, Wikipedia, Wikitravel, The New York Times, Travelfish.org). Luang Prabang is a flourishing and small town that is beautifully situated on the banks of the Mekong and Nam Khan Rivers (they converge in Luang Prabang). Unfortunately, I left not getting to see and do everything that I wanted to. Oh well, this just gives me a reason to came back to Laos (a country I am falling in love with!) in the near future.The first night we arrived in Luang Prabang was pretty casual. Kim, Tyler, Sonja, and I decided to find a place to watch the sunset. We didn't have to look far--we walked to Phou Si (Lao translation: Holy Mountin), which is a large hill that rises from the center of the city. Phou Si has temples scattered on all sides, and we made our way up a number of steps to Wat Phra Bat Nua. A handful of younger monks were jok...

Pai Town--Accidents and Hippies
2008-03-30 16:15:00 To say the least, my first day to Pai (AllAboutPai.com, PaiThailand.info, PaiTown.com) was an adventure. My friend--Pat--and I had booked a mini bus trip to Pai a couple days before we had planned to leave. On Saturday morning, we left from the Old City in Chiang Mai and a three hour ride put us in Pai by 4 p.m. We decided to rent motorbikes during our stay so we could get around quickly (rental shops were easy to find and had affordable rates). After finding our mode of transportation we decided to find a comfortable place to stay for the night; and a row of bungalows along the Pai River suited us fine. Finally, it was time to get out and see some of the surrounding area. Pai is located in a valley, and green-covered mountains rise around it. For our first stop, we decided to head to a waterfall. Unfortunately, the water is rather low during this time of year, and Mo Paeng Waterfall was far from spectacular. Nonetheless, it was a beautiful day out and we were able to enjoy the weat...
