Friday Links

There are so many great links this week, let’s just jump right in.

  • Halloween is around the corner, so these images of petrified animals are appropriate and terrifying.
  • The National Gallery may be closed, but the NPR story on Charles Marville’s photographs of 19th Century Paris is online.
  • Yosemite National Park celebrated its 123rd birthday this week also by closing because of the government shutdown. In Focus ran a nice collection of historic images from the park.
  • After the battle between investors has been settled, the affordable art site 20×200 is returning.
  • The controversy surrounding the winning image of the World Press Photo Awards last year has prompted the photojournalism competition to change their rules about post processing.
  • Google street view can get personal. A man found a picture of his grandmother hanging out on her front porch, reading the newspaper. His grandmother died not long after that photo was taken.
  • A new photography blog launched this week, called FUSEVISUAL.
  • Need to learn how to network with other photographers? Start by being a nice person.
  • Having your work go viral can be a great experience for some, but a frightening experience for others. Read three very different perspectives on this modern phenomenon.
  • An unnamed woman in a photo from post-war New York, and what she can teach us about perception, race and class in mid-century and modern American culture.
  • No matter how much we love them it is a really terrible idea to keep tigers in your house.
  • Photo software giant Adobe was hacked last month, but revealed it this week. 2.9 million customers had their data exposed.
  • Edward Burtynsky’s new work is a series called Water, and documents how we are creating our own demise. So it’s light.
  • On an actual light note, photographer Elliott Erwitt is releasing some of his color work from his back catalog in a book appropriately named Kolor.
  • Photographer Jordan Matter has followed up his popular Dancers Among Us series with images of Athletes Among Us. No word yet on how many groups may be living among us.
  • An image of the mass burial of Titanic victims has been (please forgive me) brought back from the dead.
  • Let’s pretend we are the Daily Show for a minute, because this photo of Ted Cruz from photographer Jason Reed deserves a Moment of Zen.
