Catching Superman by Harry Nowell
In my pursuit of motion I have attached cameras to skateboards, skis, bikes, cars and even my head.
My camera rigs became more complex as I experimented with the exhileration of motion.
Capturing the speeding subject can be quite simple and can lead to very, very fun photos!

...working with a large-format camera and historic process (wet-plate collodion), I have concentrated on locations that are close to or directly on the water.
At this juncture between land and sea, I explore subject matter in a constant state of transition.

Also go to Film is not dead it just smells funny.

Can't buy the film you want any more?
Just make the stuff!
In this set you will find random photos and information on a project a friend has undertaken - a machine to make his own camera film.
Plastic and goop go in one end, and camera film comes out the other end.
This is not a trivial undertaking.

Pixel Perfect, Pascal Dangin's virtual reality by Lauren Collins
In the March issue of Vogue Dangin tweaked a hundred and forty-four images: a hundred and seven advertisements (Estée Lauder, Gucci, Dior, etc.), thirty-six fashion pictures, and the cover, featuring Drew Barrymore.
To keep track of his clients, he assigns three-letter rubrics, like airport codes.

History of the Color Wheel by evad
The first color wheel has been attributed to Sir Isaac Newton, who in 1706 arranged red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet into a natural progression on a rotating disk.
As the disk spins, the colors blur together so rapidly that the human eye sees white. From there the organization of color has taken many forms, from tables and charts, to triangles and and wheels the history.

Breach of Peace: Portraits of the 1961 Freedom Riders by Eric Etheridge
In the spring and summer of 1961, several hundred Americans—blacks and whites, men and women—converged on Jackson, Mississippi, to challenge state segregation laws.
The Freedom Riders, as they came to be known, were determined to open up the South to civil rights: it was illegal for bus and train stations to discriminate, but most did and were not interested in change.
Over 300 people were arrested and convicted of the charge "breach of the peace."
