(from here) "The Shortest, Most Insightful Interview Of A Photographer I’ve Ever Seen “There was a sniper, he was trying to kill me, and he hit my camera which was by my face, and I still have that Nikon camera with a bullet hole in it”. So begins one of the most compelling interviews I’ve ever seen. Welcome to a rip-roaring three minutes and twenty seconds of a wonderful journey into the mind of Don McCullin. In a little over three minutes, Don McCullin delivers some of the most jaw dropping, insightful thoughts of any professional photographer I’ve ever heard talk. This is easily one of the (if not the) most insightful interviews of any photographer (or any person for that matter) I’ve seen, recently or otherwise. McCullin is one of the most well regarded war photographers of a generation, and although he hates being referred to in this way, covering conflict has defined much of his career. The fact he shoots landscapes now, and wants to leave a legacy other than that of documenting war, speaks volumes about what he has had to see, endure and capture while in the field." We've done some pretty awesome experiments in yearbook this year with the athletic team photos and interesting lighting we've never tried before - I'm excited to have people see them in June. Lighting totally makes a photo - next time you're taking a photo try turning off all the overhead lights and turn on lamps. And don't use a flash (this may darken the room so you need to set your camera on a tripod or a table though) - much better photo. This photo on the side is a great idea, haven't tried it myself yet. What effect does this have on (primarily women, though men to an increasing degree) to see an image of beauty on media everywhere (ads, magazines, videos, tv, etc) that is not just unattainable, but LITERALLY unrealistic and impossible to attain. Concerns about this has led to really neat revealing videos like the ones below. The first (Dove) was the first big commercial I saw that showed this. Up until then I had no idea. At first I thought it was rare. But now it's apparently expected and assumed that "just about every image of a person we see on TV or in the movies these days has been digitally retouched to some degree."

DEAN BROUGHTON Chief News Editor - Digital The Vancouver Sun Oh man, the Math/Socials/Media/Design teacher that I am have met their Venn Diagram intersection with these! (As always, click to see a bigger image) The 7 Deadly sins: Wrath, Greed, Sloth, Lust, Envy, Gluttony, Pride. Mapped onto US maps using certain data sources. Red means higher than average, blue means lower. See all of them here. Labelled each state with the most popular TV show that takes place there (not necessarily filmed there, but where the characters are supposed to live). Interesting to see that all 50 states have had TV shows take place there. For more information go here. |
