Friday Links

"holding up" by Julian Ortiz
“holding up” by Julian Ortiz

In this week’s roundup of weird and/or wonderful links: beware NYC’s Hipster Traps; some guy called Eggleston playing piano; macabre but stunning medical photographs; and a skier ambushed by tigers.

  • Ever wondered what the average Iranian living room looks like?
  • If you’re afraid of heights at all, you’re probably not going to want to check out this terrifying photo series shot during construction of the largest self-anchored suspension bridge in the world.
  • When Swiss photographer Gus Petro took a trip to the United States last year, he was struck by the juxtaposition of “emptiness and density.” So he manipulated photos that place Manhattan inside the Grand Canyon.
  • Holga shooters beware – you could be a prime target for one of New York City’s Hipster Traps.
  • Stunning medical photographs (not gory, honest!) – The Macabre Beauty of Medical Photographs.
  • Did you know that nearly every single famous photo from NASA’s Apollo program was taken using Hasselblad cameras? Well now you do.
  • Ladies and gentlemen, photographer and pianist, William Eggleston.
  • Simultaneously the best and worst idea for a photo project, ever.
  • “When in doubt, click.” – 10 things Garry Winogrand Can Teach You About Street Photography.
  • And finally, Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn surrounded by men dressed as tigers.

"the whiff" by Phil
“the whiff” by Phil

According to National Geographic, Andy (yes, that is the name the U.S. Botanic Garden gave its corpse flower) bloomed while the place was closed, denying the general public the opportunity to enjoy its much-anticipated but short-lived stench. That didn’t stop this young woman from anticipating the notorious “dead body” smell in this marvelous moment captured by Flickr contributor Phil. (EXIF.)

Show and Tell: Union Market

July 23, 2013 By James Calder

Our inaugural photo walk at Union Market last Saturday was a great success, drawing about a dozen shutterbugs in spite of the stifling heat. A mix of familiar and new faces first chatted, some geeked out over gear, then all set off to wander the bustling building and beyond. This is a sampling of what we saw:

"Taxicab" by Yonas Hassen
“Taxicab” by Yonas Hassen

While there’s quite a lot going on in this photo from Yonas Hassen, it’s subtle enough not to be distracting. Like stars in an urban night sky, the signage becomes more apparent the longer you gaze. The roll-up garage door’s uneven frame complements the the triangular shapes in the left of the shot, while the hospital-issue pale green walls provide a soothing backdrop, with the splash of gold accenting the scene from behind the cinder blocks. (EXIF.)

"Dog and Boy" by Betsy Law
“Dog and Boy” by Betsy Law

After yesterday’s gorgeous horse photos, we’re sticking with the animal theme for today’s In Frame. Betsy Law steers clear of any urge to be cutesy, framing the child and dog to create a hint of tension between the sad-faced pup and the onlooking child. Shrewdly including the magazine cover in the shot lets us know it was almost certainly taken in the D.C. area.
