This month’s Hollywood Issue of Vanity Fair features modern day actors, including Seth Rogan and Charlize Theron, photographically recreating classic moments from the films of Alfred Hitchcock. Note the Saul Bass influence on the typography. Super cool.

In one of the most blatant epoch incongruities since Spartacus’s Rolex-wearing Roman, Australian artists, The Glue Society have rendered satellite photographs of various Biblical events as though seen via Google Earth. Awesome.

Wow. Today’s post at daily dose of imagery bares an incredibly uncanny resemblance to Jeroen Witvliet’s Structures series!

Glen E. Friedman got his start in photography shooting images of the legendary Z-boys skating backyard pools. From there he would go on to take some of the most definitive portraits of early hip hop and hardcore punk pioneers including the Beastie Boys, RunDMC and Black Flag and as a result is considered to be one of the most important photographers of his generation.
Just released this past month, Friedman’s new book, Keep Your Eyes Open, chronicles his pictorial relationship with the band Fugazi, possibly one of the most important …

I stumbled upon the above image while researching a project that I am currently working on for a youth organization based out of Rwanda (Note: the above image is not in the least related to or suggestive of the direction that I am going on that project. Think complete 180°). I guess Boing Boing threw this photo into the blog feedpen a couple of years back causing a bit of a frenzy and inciting a number of very wrongly assumed explanations for why this man is standing in the middle …

A current favourite online visit, Bryan Finoki’s Subtopia is a discourse on military urbanism, the architecture of occupation and oppression, and the overarching question of why we, as humans, have it in our nature to build walls between ourselves.
To give you an idea of the subject matter, a recent entry features Jonathan Olley’s stark, haunting photos of Northern Ireland’s police stations, barracks and watchtowers; structures from a troubled past that are quickly disappearing to progress; to be too readily forgotten rather than stand as a reminder/memorial of how …

Chris Jordan’s photographic essays seem to always be preoccupied with uncovering beauty in the spoils of our society. Discarded circuit boards take on a patchwork air, while a rack of waterlogged dresses hints at a rainbow in the otherwise twisted wake of a post-Katrina New Orleans. In his series Running the Numbers, he uses statistics as his subject, producing compelling large scale photographic collages that serve as visual representations of societal numbers that are often too collosally abstract to even try to comprehend.
As Jordan states: “I am appalled by these …

As a follow up to last week’s post on the Whole Earth Campaign it seems that at this rather crucial juncture in the relationship between ourselves and our planet, we are again being encouraged to observe, contemplate and allow ourselves to be overcome by the profound image of the Earth from outer space.

(Pictured above: Robbie Robertson, Michael McClure, Bob Dylan & Alan Ginsberg) Regardless of whether the Sixties revolution changed the world, the dirt and the details have long since blurred into myth, once again allowing the ideals of the time to appear untarnished (though perhaps a little too naive), and its characters to rise to the realm of legend. No where is this more evidant than in the work of the era’s great cultural photographers: Jim Marshall (above), Gene Anthony, Baron Wolman and others are featured over at Wolfgang’s Vault.
