We're all going to die - 100 years of existence

Is the new series from Danish photographer Simon Hoegsberg.

He spent 20 days in Berlin on a railroad bridge, photographing 178 subjects capturing a various array of emotions and expressions. He then stitched together a single 100-meter-long (YES! 100 Meters!) composite picture, which you can scroll.

Amazing! I love the stark white sky and blurred air planes in the background and bike handles in the front. Worth exploring for a few minutes.

The Preservation of Fleeting Moments by Adrienne Deboer

The work of South Dakota based photographer Adrienne Deboer will make you smile and yearn for your childhood days long gone by. She is a rare photographer who has the keen sensibility to capture the disconnection bewtween childhood and adulthood that alot of us seem to miss.

Adrienne Deboer is definitely one to watch for.

From 2D to 3D

I stumbled across an article about this artist in some super fancy, expensive, foreign design magazine on the weekend. I'm kicking myself for not picking a copy up (or, at least, for not scribbling down the name of the mag). But I was wise enough to spend company time today, researching the guy online... And here's what I turned up...

Gwon Osang (b.1974 in Seoul) is a famous Korean contemporary artist. He is well known for groundbreaking works as a sculptor & gained widespread fame with his photo-sculptures. Gwon Osang takes photos of his subject in sections -- as a panoramic view of his subject -- and then models the photos in to a 3D representation of his subject. In the beginning, his sculptures were 'light' and were not molded to a solid construction, which made the sculptures very fragile. He changed up his process in favour of a more sturdy frame or structure -- which at the same time allowed Gwon more creativity with his reconstruction.

Apparently, Gwon constructs these models by memory & without his subject there to model from. Pretty freakin' amazing if you ask me!

Go to the Gwon Osang gallery for these photosculptures (series is called Deodorant Type)

Gwon Osang participated in an exhibition at the Manchester Art Gallery this summer (ended Sept 21st -- sorry UK gang!), where he was artist in residence.

Photography is not dead

Having a "I love my computer moment".

Who doesn't remember the Polaroid?. Seems only like yesterday (actually Feb. of this year), that Polaroid stopped production. Now it can be found only in select stores.

Don't fear because Poladroid is here.

Poladroid creates Polaroid-style images from your photos.

Here's what you do:
1. Download the free POLADROID application and launch it (MAC only, sorry PC)
2. Drag & Drop your photos
3. Wait... wait.... wait or like the real thing shake the picture (this brought a smile to my face).

Then look at, download or print your "Polaroid" picture.

Too easy, too fun.
