Some excellent and original 3D photos that have been turned into animated GIF files. The page is slow to load, but well worth the wait.
I really don’t know how to best explain it, so I will just say, it really is worth having a look. Street photography at its best and most unusual.
There are some very good tips for the budding portrait photographer in the article below. Tip number 1 actually sounds like a dating service. I am not real good with the portrait genre of photography, so i might try some of this myself.
Taking great photos of women relies hugely on great understanding. It is vital to understand your subject, whatever you are photographing, in order to get the best out of them, and no more so than with women. Women are probably the most self-critical people to photograph, and I should know, I’ve photographed over 10,000 of them throughout my career! Even models think they are fat, so there is no hope for us mere mortals!

Really, there may be photos on Flickr that are better technically, but how can I go past this cracker. Thanks to AndrewG for the heads up via twitter.
Hola a todos los visitantes de España. 🙂
Quite a depressing look at the houses left abandoned in Detroit. Some terrific photos though.
Once again, the Boston Globe’s Big Picture site comes up with the goods. Cheese rolling, it sounds like such fun! Holy cow! (sorry about that pun) See if you can see Borat. 🙂
Cooper’s Hill Cheese-Rolling
Last Monday, May 25th, the annual Cooper’s Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake was held near Gloucester, England. In a tradition that dates back at least 200 years, possibly much longer, groups of fearless competitors chase an 8 pound (3.5 kg) round of Double Gloucester Cheese down an extremely steep and uneven hill, with a 1:1 gradient in some parts. Thousands of spectators gather to watch the five downhill and four uphill races, and to celebrate the winners and console the losers afterward. Injuries such as broken bones and concussions are commonplace, but the event continues to grow in popularity. The winner of each race is awarded the delicious round of cheese they were chasing.

What financial crisis? if you can even contemplate a new Leica, you are obviously doing better than I am. Now they are releasing a limited edition (read, more expensive) M8 camera. Only 275 available too. Get that credit card out.
Leica very limited M8 White Edition now available
Following the olive green Leica M8.2 Safari Edition Leica now introduces the pure white Leica M8 White Edition. The camera is accompanied by a high-quality, real leather carrying strap, embossed with the Leica logo. The control elements are finished in silver chrome and, in combination with the lens, perfectly round off the overall styling of the set. The white edition is even more limited than the 500 unit Safari version; just 275 of you will have the chance to become the lucky owner. This white dream is yours for $8.500.00, pre-order now…

It seems to be happening more and more lately, people plastering bloody great watermarks across their work. Obviously, I understand that some times you don’t want your work used with out your permission, but I am sure some of them could be slightly more subtle. When you can’t see the photo for the huge bright orange text saying “©2009 Worlds Best Photography – All rights reserved – Don’t copy with out permission – My dog like bones.” it is getting a bit out of hand.
Now, before my good pal Mick Orlosky tears me a new one and points out that I was watermarking my photos a while back, I would like to think mine were slightly more subtle than some I have seen of late. Below is an example.
So subtle, it is hardly worth being there in fact. So, what says you my devoted reader? Watermarks, are they good or evil?
Note, here is one I made up especially for Mick. 🙂
This must have taken some time and energy.

Arthur Mole’s Living Formations
Almost a century ago and without the aid of any pixel-generating computer software, the itinerant photographer Arthur Mole (1889-1983) used his 11 x 14-inch view camera to stage a series of extraordinary mass photographic spectacles that choreographed living bodies into symbolic formations of religious and national community.
