Capturing America

The Denver Post’s blog recently posted some beautiful Depression-Era photos that belong to the Library of Congress.

The collection instantly renewed our excitement about working with Davis Ayer to design and publish a book focusing on the hundreds of color slides he’s collected that were taken between the 1940s and 1960s. A few of the slides can be previewed at his Kodrachome Restoration Project Flickr set.

A few more of our favorites after the jump, but do yourself a favor and check out the entire gallery on the Denver Post Blog.

James Deavin – The Games We Play

James Deavin’s series titled The Games We Play is exactly what you need at 5 o’clock. It reminds you that once you’re done reading this, you should go outside and play a game.

Robert Yager: Gang Photography

I watched Champion, the documentary about actor Danny Trejo, yesterday with my girlfriend. Both of us spent most of the time cringing about the stories he had about the drugs and criminal acts he was involved in when he was a young gangster in southern California. His story turns out to be incredibly positive in the end, but is similar in many ways to the images I found today shot by photographer Robert Yager. Simply titled Gang Photography, it’s an older body of work but still very relevant. Robert’s website is somewhat of a nightmare to try to navigate through so I pulled some images from it to view here. I’d recommend clicking through to see entire body of work though. It’s an amazing project.

Studio 27

This is an amazing modern renovation of a classic structure in Capital Hill, Washington DC. I love the choice of materials and the integration of modern elements in this historical shell. In what could have been a clash of time periods, the marriage of new and old on this project produced a dynamic result. Nice work, Studio 27.

Hollis Bennett – Landscapes

It’s not often that I read that people are shooting 4×5 anymore, so Hollis Bennett’s About Page was a welcome surprise. Her landscape photography is beautiful. Just beautiful. Enjoy some for yourself.

Andrew Kupresanin’s ‘Nadia”

Nadia from Andrew Kupresanin on Vimeo.

This camera does not display the images to be photographed. Instead, through an online “aesthetic quality interference engine,” called ACQUINE, the camera reads out a percentage which indicates the overall aesthetic rating of the image in the frame, allowing you to readjust to take a “better” picture.

Kyle Ferino – Parkview Lanes

I haven’t been to a good tacky bowling alley in several years but this set of photos by Kyle Ferino is making me glad I haven’t gone/wishing I do soon. More images after the jump.

Thomas Prior – Maho Beach

A while back a friend of mine sent me this video of an airliner landing over Maho Beach in St Maarten. With the Princess Juliana International Airport being situated directly next to the beach, people often gather there to watch the massive jets fly so close overhead on their final approach. It’s all fun and games watching a 747 land 50 feet overhead until it passes you far enough to wreak havoc on the beach and sand you’re sitting on. Thomas Prior’s photo series of the immediate aftermath is brilliant. See some selections after the jump.
