“Untitled” by Chris Suspect

This week we have a dancer in the streets of D.C., rulings on two very different court cases involving the rights of photographers, beautiful photographs that look like sculptures, and of course goats and tigers — though not living together as best friends because that would break the internet.

  • Baby Tigers! Endangered baby tigers born at the National Zoo! There is even a a tiger cam.
  • National Geographic announced the winners of their Traveler Photo Contest.
  • The Capital Weather Gang breaks down how to tell if storm images are real or fake.
  • Cool photo of Washington Ballet performer Sun Chong as part of Jordan Matter’s Dancers Among Us series.
  • What would we do without YouTube? A 1988 lecture titled, Heinecken Explains Heinecken, has been unearthed for our viewing pleasure. The self proclaimed Paraphotographer, Robert Heinecken, shares some insight on his work.
  • A judge in NY state has ruled that artist Arne Svenson did not violate the privacy of his neighbors when he photographed them in their apartments. This is in stark contrast to the recent French ruling that stated photographer Yan Morvan breached his subjects’ rights to control their own image. The implications of that ruling may make it extremely difficult for photographers to publish work in France.
  • NPR took home two of the three prizes for Outstanding Environmental Journalism from the Society of Environmental Journalism. Photography is so much better on the radio.
  • You have never seen waves look the way photographer Pierre Carreau makes them look. His images present like glass sculptures.
  • NASA has a huge collection of free e-books online. If you can forgive the terrible formatting, there are some gems to be found, like Exploring Space with a Camera. You can delve into the technical aspects of space camera technology, or just look at the photos.
  • Seventy-five years after the original printing, MOMA is republishing “Walker Evans: American Photographs” and producing a new exhibit. The BBC has a nice piece on the work.
  • Don’t let the use of the H word scare you away, because these are beautiful food photographs.
  • Goats in a Cemetery is a better summer blockbuster than Snakes on a Plane.
  • Fotoweek DC announced their 2013 contest. Reminder that you can always find events like this on our calendar.

"L1004043" by John Ulaszek
“L1004043” by John Ulaszek

Great photographs leave you wanting to know more, and if this photograph does anything, it begs a question or two. We have no idea if this woman is clued into what is happening behind her, but either way it is very interesting. Could these be two homeless men wrestling in the park? Possibly. Could the man in the trash bag be offering free pony rides to any man carrying a sheet of foam? Also possible. Is this the best live reporter camera bomb we’ve seen in a long time? Gosh I hope so.

Aside from the funny content, photographer John Ulaszek does a  nice job of framing the image. He shows us enough to set the scene, but not so much that it would give away what is actually happening. While I’m sure that John would be happy to tell us what’s going on in this shot, it’s sometimes better to let the imagination wander.

Christie Zepeda’s Horse Therapy Series

July 16, 2013 By Meaghan Gay

ChristieZepede-2Humans have been using horses for work, sport, war and fun for thousands of years. Many people know that horses have been helping people recover from physical injuries through therapeutic horseback riding. What many people don’t know is that horses are assisting in emotional therapy, by helping humans heal their minds.

Last year local photographer Christie Zepeda worked with Great Strides, a local riding center that facilitates emotional healing with horses. Her project focused on the human-horse connection, and how horses are active participants in the healing process. The first image above shows one way a horse will react, or “release” as Zepeda calls it, to demonstrate understanding with their human partner. Zepeda created a series of still images and a multimedia piece for the organization.

In this week’s stockpile of Friday Links: tintype is the new black; dogs dressed as aliens and UFOs; an interview with a former Exposed winner; and Russian family portraits with tigers.

  • Former Exposed winner Monique Atherton was interviewed by ARTFILE Magazine about her work. “Combining my impression of humanity with my relationship to the rural landscape, I’ve attempted to answer the age old question of ‘What’s the point?'”
  • At the National Building museum students are using photographs and stories to explore the history of D.C.’s Shaw neighborhood.
  • Smithsonian Magazine’s 11th annual photo contest is open. The Smithsonian Air & Space Magazine photo contest is also open.
  • Photoshelter has a great breakdown of the Robert Caplin vs. Perez Hilton case and how difficult the financial situation becomes when filing suit for copyright infringement.
  • Cue the X-Files music! In Roswell, NM this weekend canine aliens invaded the town.
  • Looking for new photo editing software now that Adobe has switched to a subscription model? PDN gives a review of an open source option.
  • Need a little assist on how to shoot more creatively? Picture Correct offers a street photography cheat sheet.
  • Film’s not Dead spoke to a couple going truly OG – they made a tintype trailer. They probably won’t need that open source editing software.
  • Trend alert: tintype. Ed Drew was deployed to Afghanistan and made tintypes of fellow soldiers. Drew made “the first tintypes made in a combat zone since the Civil War.”
  • Tired of lugging around a ton of gear? Zach Arias discusses going DSLR free.
  • And lastly, what is a Friday Link post without a a tiger? Russian circuses are offering family portraits with wild animals. Kinda makes that laser background you had in the 4th grade seem so pedestrian.
