Got a Kindle recently and haven’t been online or blogging as much because of it. Here’s a fun link to compensate.

Dunno much about this guy, but I like. Sasaki Mokoto (b. 1971) is a Japanese photographer whose latest work titled “Tokyo Layers” involves shooting the city at night while in motion and using multiple exposures and the results are refreshingly new.

I hope that we get a feel of the fact that we are living in passage of time and also the individual life, city and society are formed by accumulation of time from an unusual viewpoint once again.

Christopher Morris is an American Photojournalist whose main body of work has concentrated on war; including the US invasion of Iraq, the drug war in Colombia, the Persian Gulf war, the wars in Afghanistan, Somalia, Yugoslavia, and Chechnya.

Since 2000, he has been the official White House Photographer and also works in advertising, fashion and portraits. All awesome. A large collection of his incredible body of work can be found here and even more over at his official website.

Ghosts of Gemini

NASA have recently released several photos from their archives, taken during the flights of Gemini, the often overlooked tech testing phase that took place between the Mercury and the Apollo space program.

One haunting image in particular is that of doomed astronaut Ed White wrapped in shadows and looking uncannily like Brad Pitt for some reason (looked nothing like him in general). Anyhow, the rest of the images can be found here.

Realising that the majority of recent posts are mostly video related; here are some tumblr sites for something different.

At least I’m starting to ‘annotate’ some of this stuff too.

The Faroe Islands are an island group consisting of 18 major islands about 655 kilometres (407 mi) off the coast of Northern Europe, between the Norwegian Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean, about halfway between Iceland and Norway, the closest neighbours being the Northern and Western Isles of Scotland.

The Big Picture

Boston.com’s The Big Picture has finally started the first of their end of year round up pictures and as always, it’s great and you should check it out.

That there is an image take of the volcano Mt Rainier at sunset.

Standing at 4300 meters above Boulder, Colorado, it’s the only mountain in the area and on this particular day, cast this amazing shadow against the clouds. It’s a beautiful image and quite surreal, but I love it more for the fact that it gives the impression of a larger scale to the world on a very simple, yet natural level.
