antony crossfield



Long time no see!! Life has been hectic and the seductiveness of the immediacy of Facebook has made me to stay away from this blog. But I will not give in! so here is a great and refreshing photographer to look at to start off the summer posts. Finally something interesting being done with the 360 panorama shtick.

Lost Rivers Portofolio at Places: Design Observer

As Places photography editor Aaron Rothman, who curated both portfolios, says, "Lost Rivers depicts places poised between loss and beauty, acknowledging the price of urbanization while seeking to reclaim a sense of connection with these natural spaces."

Founded 28 years ago by architecture faculty at MIT and Berkeley, Places is an interdisciplinary journal of contemporary architecture, landscape and urbanism, with particular emphasis on the public realm as physical place and social ideal. In 2009 Places published its last print issue and moved online as an open-access journal in partnership with the Design Observer Group. In this new format, Places publishes peer-reviewed scholarship as well as topical commentary, observations, reviews and visual portfolios, with two new articles every week.

parallel relationships



i really enjoy how contemporary images relate to past images. sometimes conscious sometimes not. the case is how we as photographers find our images touching things contained in past images and how inevitable this is today. for me these images from nadar and roger ballen relate in some weird way.

a series of unfortunate events/michael wolf



flipping through the world press photo of 2010 i was amazed and enthusiastic about finding michael wolf´s street view images "a series of unfortunate events". Is it maybe the simplicity of the project or the "of course" factor that makes these images so strong? yes and yes. but it is also the idea, at least to me, of what photography is becoming; a way to encounter a deeper self, not by taking pictures, but by thinking about the images we look at at show to others. a big praise to this body of work.
