The Descriptive Camera

Friday, April 27th, 2012


With Matt Richardson’s new descriptive camera, a picture really is worth a thousand words

Taking the term “lazy eye” to a whole new level, Matt Richardson’s descriptive camera figures out what your looking and prints it out as a text description, rather than capturing the image visually. Seeing as all robots have personalities, it’s not surprising this camera is a little judgmental. It adds a bit of its own opinion referring to things as “ugly and old” or “seeming in need of repair.” Imagine the damage it could do with a family portrait.

See some of the print outs from Matt Richardson’s descriptive camera below.

Fong Qi Wei: Exploded Flowers

Wednesday, April 18th, 2012

The birds are singing and the flowers are exploding

Fong Qi Wei’s Exploded Flowers series, sounds a lot more dangerous than it is. Wei carefully dissembles the flowers and lays them out in somewhat of an exploded symmetry. Giving the viewer a look at the complexity that lies within a closed flower, the artist photographs the floral patterns to capture moments of full bloom. Think Spring: deconstructed. These images also show the just how different each flower is–just like each of us, oh how sweet.

Saturday Selection

Mariam_Kalandarishvili_Photography

Every Saturday we select a photo from our Flickr pool to be featured on hearty

Mariam Kalandarishvili is a 20-year-old photographer from Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia. Currently studying studying film and theater at the state university, Mariam has been pursuing photography on her own time.

“It’s very small like a family, everyone knows everyone here,” Mariam says of living in the former Soviet Union. “Of course this city in general affects my photography. There is a big difference between my photos that I take abroad and those here in Georgia. It’s kind of more personal because the situations and people here are close to me. I exactly know what I shoot and abroad I am discovering new things all the time-so at the moment I prefer to work there.”

The photo above was taken in Berlin, it was the view from her window. When it comes to cameras, Mariam only uses film and tends to use her Minolta SRT 202 and Lomo Fisheye.

To see more of Mariam’s work please check out her Flickr.

Download Our Spring 2012 Cover

Thursday, April 5th, 2012

Spring is in the air. Legs are on our desktops.

Our new Spring 2012 cover features work by photographer Mandy-Lyn. Exploring women with her lens, Mandy-Lyn brings out females inner sexual power. “When I take a photo of a girl, I get to get lost in her beauty,” Mandy-Lyn says in our new Featured Artist interview. “I want to take her out of her world and put her on a pedestal, into a fantasy, I want to immortalize her magic. I guess that women can feel it, when I do that.”

Our Spring 2012 digital cover is available for download (See above. Download here.) and meant to be saved as your desktop background. Legs all spring long!

Hackney Kisses

Tuesday, April 3rd, 2012

White lace, layers of perfect icing and thousands of couples kissing

Because wedding season is upon us, Stephen Gill’s new photography collection coming out on Nobody Books at a pretty good time. After buying 9000 images off of eBay two years ago hoping to find images of London’s East End, Gill instead found thousands of photos of East End couples on their wedding days in the 1950′s. Although the photographers are unknown, Gill rounded up the best matrimonial smooches and is set to release the book as “Hackney Kisses” sometime very soon. Order your copy here instead of, say, watching Bridezillas.
