You’ve been waiting, and they’re all finally here. Think links to the four galleries of images from Renegade are ready for your perusal. I have split them in to two galleries per day since there are a ton of photos to jump through. They are basically split at 1pm each day, so try to remember when you shot your photo to make it easier to find yourself. If you didn’t buy your photo and still want to email us with the filename and we’ll get it to ya. Enjoy the photos! Casey and I enjoyed shooting them.
Saturday 11-1PM / Saturday 1-7PM / Sunday 11-1PM / Sunday 1-7PM
We want to throw a big shout out of thanks to the Renegade Craft Fair for asking us to be a part of your interactive goodness. Casey and I took a ton of awkward school portraits while we were there, including the above of Erick Montes of The Decoder Ring. We edited the selection down to some of the funniest for your enjoyment here. Check them out after the jump.
The rest of the 600+ images will be posted in a separate categorized gallery tomorrow. Check back to see yours!
Though its not nearly as famous or nearly as macabre as the Book of The Dead, The Book of Sleep is an interesting part of a much larger project by Square America to collect images from the first 3/4 of the 20th century in to one online depository. The source of the images is the endless resale shops and ebay sellers they find online. The title of this collection in particular spells out what you’ll obviously find in it. Though its not the greatest looking website around, you’d be missing the point to knock the archive on that note alone. The images are great, with the sheer number present being a feat alone. More after the jump.
It’s a bit unusual to look at images from the early 1900′s and see life as it was in color. Growing up, your general perception of that era seems to live solely in black and white. Thanks to the philanthropist Albert Kahn, we have this collection of wonderful color images captured around the world. In 1909 Albert funded a project with the goal of sending several photographers around the world to capture life on film. In the subsequent years he amassed a collection of over 72,000 photographs from those photographers.
There is now a book and television series about his project available from the BBC. You’ll find 14 additional images after the jump.
You don’t really see people photographed with all of their stuff which is why this portrait series by Huang Qingjun and Ma Hongjie is so interesting. I’m just as fond of the settings in which these people live as much as the contents of their homes. We’ve got a selection of the portraits after the jump.
