Pink is the new black, at least for today.
She was waiting offstage to perform at the Cherry Blossom Festival.
The Watchmen movie has been all the rage lately, especially with Clay Enos’ coffee-table book, “The Watchmen Portraits”. The black and white images are incredibly detailed, catching every wisp of hair, freckle, and glimmer. He has brought pop-culture into it own art form.
JR is an urban photographer who creates massive (unauthorized) installation works across the world, creating a wonderful social dialogue. His Face2Face project is particularly conceptual and moving. He placed portraits of Israeli and Palestinian faces side by side, making people realize their similarities as humans–emotion, job, looks, etc–to bring about a peaceful understanding to the varied audiences.
This woman was so great to photograph–you get a glimpse of her passion for life–living without inhibitions. This was part of the Body Art Expo exhibition held at the Cow Palace.
Photographer Chris Rainier has a portfolio of exquisite images any museum would envy. He is part of the National Geographic Society and documents indigenous cultures and social issues around the world. His latest book is a great display of tattoos and other skin adornments from endangered societies. Check out Ancient Marks.
Self-Portrait was part of an experiment with my new remote control (and tripod) for the XTi digital camera. It’s great to see instant results with the playback button, but it took about 40 frames to get something decent–with lots of running back and forth. There was major cropping and a little contrast adjustment.
This is by far my favorite pen and of course, weapon of choice for all the microscopic sketches and concept designs. View larger image here.
How peaceful this little guy looks!
Another rainy day.
