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.

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.

O Campo

Joachim Schmid used Google Maps satellite imagery to produce his book O Campo, a collection of aerial images of Brazilian soccer fields. The use of Google Maps is a novel idea, and from what I gather is part of a larger theme in Joachim’s work. He mentions on his site that he rarely takes photographs himself, but rather uses “discarded” and public images. More images after the jump.

Richard T. Walker.

I really like this work by Walker. Simplicity, loneliness, ennui.

Greetings from . . . Dubai!

Just kidding, I’m still in Austin. But everyone knows that Dubai is meant to be the next “great city” of the world. The construction boom, courtesy of your SUV, is still in full swing. Benedict Redgrove took these remarkable photographs of the process.

Enviromedia

Jay B recently did a couple of shoots for Enviromedia and the Texas Department of State Health Services. The campaign is geared around teaching minors Tobacco Laws and keeping them from buying or using it. Texas law states that if you do either under the age of 18, you’ll lose your license, which at that age is a terrifying thing.

Historical 4th of July

While I was digging around on the Library of Congress’ website, I did a search for 4th of July images. The product of that search is hundres of images of Americans celebrating the 4th of July way back in the day, 17 of which I plucked for your enjoyment. Of course, you’ll find plenty of images of parades and people hanging around outside. Click on the images to see them larger.

Winter Berlin

It’s not really winter in Berlin right now, but it is in this series of photos by Matthias Heiderrich who I actually posted about last week. For some reason I hadn’t seen this series when I posted about his White Noise photographs. Basically I love this series as well and thought it might help take your mind off this summer time heat (if you live in Texas where its 95 degrees year round). More after the jump.
