The beauty of a new tool is that it allows you to see and approach your subjects differently. Using this phone brought me into little details that I would have missed otherwise. The image of the men resting together on a rusted bed frame could never have been made with my regular camera. They would have scattered the moment I raised my 5D with a big 24-70 lens attached. But with the phone, the men were very comfortable. They always laughed when they saw me shooting with it while professional cameras hung from my shoulders.
…“Wonderland,” a collaboration between the photographer Cade Martin, Design Army, and the Washington Ballet. This fanciful series, which was created to celebrate the Ballet’s tenth anniversary, shows ballerinas who have leaped off the stage and into the streets, parks, and hidden enclaves of Washington, D.C.

America whizzes by, photo after photo, totally unremarkable but somehow still fascinating. According to the exhibition description, Friedlander specified that the 193 photos be densely clustered to evoke “the sensory overload commonly experienced by American drivers.” It’s controlled chaos, captured from behind the wheel.

The death and resurrection of photography in a digitized world
These photographs of albatross chicks were made just a few weeks ago on Midway Atoll, a tiny stretch of sand and coral near the middle of the North Pacific. The nesting babies are fed bellies-full of plastic by their parents, who soar out over the vast polluted ocean collecting what looks to them like food to bring back to their young. On this diet of human trash, every year tens of thousands of albatross chicks die on Midway from starvation, toxicity, and choking. To document this phenomenon as faithfully as possible, not a single piece of plastic in any of these photographs was moved, placed, manipulated, arranged, or altered in any way. These images depict the actual stomach contents of baby birds in one of the world’s most remote marine sanctuaries, more than 2000 miles from the nearest continent. (via chris jordan)

Fuck the darkroom right in the ass. I don’t miss those days. I have books filled with instructions and recipes for my own prints. They’re like spell books for a dead magic.
