The famous photographer of “Earth seen from the Sky” now has a page on Flickr. What is happening here? While he is still very attentive to the management of his photographer’s rights and of his fame, Yann Arthus Bertrand would have fallen into a liberated open publishing media?
Of course, not. This is just an April’s fool idea that stayed a little longer.

I am fascinated that the page was kept on Flickr, but the experience is quite funny. I just hope it won’t become a Flickr trend. But feel free to point at other similar pages…

About a month ago, I was invited by a friend to a music workshop where he is participating in the Cultural center of the Gazometro in Porto Alegre (Brazil). I had brought my digital camera et here are some of the images produced then despite the awfully limited light.
Note: Just click on the thumbnails below if you want to see the larger photos.
No doubt the lack of light limited the possibilities (slow speed, high sensitivy and hard lights all compete to produce movement blurs, digital noise and high contrasts) but with some attention you may bring back some images nearly acceptable even if they would not be printed in large format (or you have to love blurred and grainy photos).
My prefered ones are marked with ***

Year after year, there are a few photo images that wrote History. LukeProg found 52 of them. The choice is always subjective, but most of them really hit the public.

Martin Forget has a photographic eye I envy. His animal and natural wildlife photos are simply delicious, vivid, surprising like this one:
You will certainnly want to stop by his web site. But if you only have a minute, I invite you to a shortcut to his images on photo.net and you will see that he also looks upon other subjects.

You should visit the web site of Dave Anastasi (East3rd): He is publishing quite regularly his own photos. They are mostly abstract and colourful like this one:
I even subscribed to his RSS feed to be sure to receive all of these photos as soon as they are available. A refreshing sight, a surprise per week (more or less).

We knew already all about Darth Vador youth. But his private life was staying out of reach of even the most courageous paparazzis. This is no longer the case, thanks to Esteban Diacono.

After a previous hommage to the classic form of spiral, I wanted to honor stripes. They easily provide a nice basis for photographic composition (often bordering on optical illusion) and they are an excellent inspiration for the abstract artist hidden in most photographer’s hearts.

I love the photographic work of Irene Mueller because even on simple subjects she can bring the little variety, a little more than the rest. For example, color to liquid droplets:
