The Creepiest Halloween Display by John Leszczynski
The Creepiest Halloween Display by John Leszczynski

We’re counting on you to put some horribly creepy and awesome Halloween images in our pool this weekend, everyone. Put on some comfortable shoes in November, because we’re about to announce a ton of Exposed DC events for you to soak up, including a metro-accessible extended run of our InstantDC Fall Review and a quick-round of free photography classes through Knowledge Commons DC. You’ve also got FotoweekDC kicking off next Friday — we’ll have a preview of recommended events for you early next week.  Now, on to Friday Links!

  • LIFE photographer Michael Rougier shows just how awkward it is when the housekeeper has to step over the lion.
  • The lava flow from Kilauea has almost reached the town on Pahoa on the Big Island of Hawaii, and the photos of the destruction are fascinating.
  • This seems like a good time to look back on the All-Time Favorite Volcano photos from National Geographic.
  • Everyone loves a puppy photo, but Pete Thorne’s portrait series with old dogs is moving.
  • Do you love fall foliage? Do you also love wine? REI has a photo class for you.
  • Mark your calendars, “Photo Trends & Evolution” panel discussion, featuring panelists Jim Darling, Meghan Dhaliwal, Holly Garner, Susana Raab and Matt Rakola, moderated by Roshani Kothari – November 18th at MLK, 6-8 p.m.
  • The first Hasselblad in space is going up for auction on November 13. It is rumored to have taken this infamous space photo.
  • The post may be from last year, but the photos from the Buzzfeed roundup of scary vintage Halloween costumes are still creepy.
  • And finally, a tiger at the Hagenbeck Zoo in Germany was able to enjoy a meat filled pumpkin.

You have one more week to see our Exposed DC / InstantDC Fall Review at the Washington School of photography, closing October 31. There are tons of photography-related events going on this weekend, so head to our calendar to find them all. Got an event to add? Let us know.

  • Local photographer Joshua Cogan’s work with D.C. boxer Dusty Hernandez-Harrison is highlighted in the Washingtonian this week.
  • You can now follow the Women Photojournalists of Washington on Instagram.
  • Speaking of the WPOW, one of their members and National Geographic photo editor Mallory Benedict was featured on Career Contessa this week.
  • “How does one give dignity to the image of a woman who has died and is lying on the ground, unattended, uncovered and alone as people walk by or gaze from a distance? But I believe that the world must see the horrible and dehumanizing effects of Ebola. The story must be told; so one moves around with tender care, gingerly, without extreme intrusion.” Story and photos from Washington Post photographer Michel du Cille.
  • The Washington School of Photography has office space available for photographers.
  • The Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco opened a show this week featuring the work of Arnold Newman. “The show is the first major exhibition since Newman’s death, and features well-known portraits, as well as early street photography, architectural and still life works.”
  • Washington birth photographer Emily Goodstein shares what it takes to be part of one of the most intimate moments possible.
  • Famed Swiss photographer and member of Magnum Photos, René Burri passed away this week at the age of 81. The post on the Magnum Blog contains links to his images.
  • Images from the winners of the 2014 Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition, include overall winner Michael Nichols.
  • And finally, another amazing tiger photo from Steve Winter.

Are you getting our monthly newsletter? Don’t miss our happy hours, exhibit openings, and contest announcements: Sign up here.

  • Here’s some helpful video on what not to do with a GoPro and a drone.
  • Washingtonian has images from the 1927 tornado that touched down in D.C.
  • “If you were like many kids, you probably spent much of your childhood in a hybrid world where reality and imagination fused into an indistinguishable whole.” Photographer Thomas Dagg pays homage to childhood by inserting Star Wars into real world snapshots.
  • Portraits by Dmitri Kessel of Henri Matisse working.
  • PhotoPhilanthropy has opened up their 2014 Activist Awards. “We invite all professional and emerging photographers who have collaborated with a nonprofit organization on a photographic project to participate in the 6th annual awards.”
  • Joseph Sywenkyj has been awarded this year’s W. Eugene Smith Grant in Humanistic Photography for his long-term project on family life in Ukraine
  • AP photos of cemetery overcrowding across the globe.
  • “The most disappointing thing is that the students at Syracuse have missed that moment to learn about the Ebola crisis, using someone who has been on the ground and seen it up close. But they chose to pander to hysteria.” Pulitzer prize-winning Washington Post photojournalist Michel du Cille was disinvited to a Syracuse University journalism workshop because he had been to Liberia 21 days ago.
  • The jaw dropping photos by the 2014 Photo Nightscape Winners.
  • Because of Iran’s strict censorship rules on most art forms, artists in Tehran have gone underground to pursue their passions.
  • Photographer Jonny Joo has been photographing abandoned farm homes in Ohio, and they are Halloween season spooky.
  • Pamela Littky’s new book, Vacancy, documents the tight-knit communities of Baker, California and Beatty, Nevada, each of which claims to be the gateway to Death Valley.
  • Debi Cornwall wanted to see how prisoners and military guards lived at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. She discovered a surreal “paradise” marked by contrast and contradictions.
  • And finally, your photo of Putin with a tiger cub, which, well, might now be raiding China for chickens?

If you didn’t make it to last Friday’s opening reception for the Exposed DC / InstantDC Fall Review, you’re in luck! There’s another one tonight at Washington ArtWorks / Washington School of Photography (we’re not throwing it, but our gallery will be open for viewing) Meanwhile, submitted for your approval, this week’s links:

  • Did you know National Geographic has a tumblr that features unpublished photos from their archives?
  • Nicholas Nixon has been photographing his wife and her three sisters every year for the last forty years.
  • Andy DelGuidice on photographing street festivals in D.C.
  • Nature photographer Alex Wild is hanging up his lens after spending years fighting copyright infringement.
  • The City Paper spoke to D.C. photographer Chris Suspect about his concert photography being featured at Photokina. “I didn’t know photography was like heroin,” he says with a laugh. “It opened up a whole world for me, and I have become addicted.”
  • The National Park Service acquired a rare photograph of Selina Norris Gray, a slave owned by Robert E. Lee.
  • Marc Asnin has a new project recruiting photographers to speak out against the death penalty. “Through crowd-funding and social media, he has initiated a campaign in conjunction with the VII association against the death penalty in which he asks photographers to upload self-portraits to a website with a caption of 140 characters or fewer describing why they oppose capital punishment.”
  • The Guardian has guest photographers posting on their Instagram feed.
  • The Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture recently added over 4,000 photos from photographer Henry Clay Anderson to their collection’s search center.
  • Photographer Sebastián Liste has been photographing the Brazilian elite, and the result is fascinating.
  • “A dentist, a bus driver, and a surgeon pop open a manhole cover and shimmy into the opening, abseiling into the depths of London’s sewer system.” No joke.
  • And finally, when you find a tiger on the side of the road make sure it is real before you call the police.

We’ll see you TONIGHT at Washington Artworks / Washington School of Photography for the big opening for our Exposed DC / InstantDC Fall Review! Come see 45 phenomenal images by D.C.-area photographers, including our fantastic prize-winners. Here’s how to get there. Then, join us next Tuesday at Brookland Pint for our monthly happy hour. And THEN sign up for one last free Knowledge Commons class taking photos of the airplanes at Gravelly Point on Saturday, October 11. Both the September classes got rained-out halfway through the session, so our teacher Chris Williams is generously offering one more class for new folks and anyone who didn’t get their fill in their half-session. Exposed DC has got you covered for all your photo event needs!

  • Let’s start off Friday Links the right way, with amazing and very wet photos of dogs by Sophie Gamand.
  • Terrifying photos of the surprising volcanic eruption in Japan.
  • The American West offers a landscape fraught with potential cliche, but Lucas Foglia’s project Frontcountry cuts through popular conceptions and shows the reality of a rapidly transforming part of America.
  • The African Art Museum is featuring the work of Chief Solomon Osagie Alonge. “As an official photographer to the Royal Court of the Benin, Alonge documented the rituals, pageantry, and regalia of the court for over a half-century.”
  • In the first decades of the 1900s, Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky traversed the length and breadth of the Russian Empire using a specially adapted railroad car as a darkroom, capturing its diverse, pre-revolution population in more than 10,000 full-color photographs.
  • The odd beauty of 60-year-old preserved brains from the Texas State Mental Hospital.
  • One of the “Outlaw Instagrammers” describes his experience climbing the tallest residential building in New York City. The 15-year old admitted that his mom was not impressed.
  • Indigenous peoples have been documented before, but the results have often been patronizing, says Jimmy Nelson. So he traveled the world to photograph 35 threatened tribes in an unashamedly glamorous style.
  • A new exhibit at the National Gallery of Art shows the work of Captain Linnaeus Tripe, and the images he made in India and Burma in the middle of the19th century. “Many of his pictures were the first photographs ever made of celebrated archaeological sites and monuments, ancient and contemporary religious and secular buildings — some now destroyed — as well as geological formations and landscape vistas.”
  • Stunning aerials of Spanish landscapes in the fall by David Maisel.
  • “Porcupines reek. Traer Scott found this out the hard way — the photographer’s way — crawling on the ground, lying on her stomach to encounter a porcupine family none too happy to see her.” Totally worth if for the resulting gorgeous, nocturnal animal photography.
  • No Man’s Job is a documentary portrait series by Anthony Kurtz that sheds light on women doing the “dirty or tough jobs” performed primarily by men. First in the series, the female auto mechanics of Senegal.
  • Photographer Marina Cano captures wild animals in their most unguarded moments. Tigers included, obviously.
