The Art of Flight - Jeffrey Milstein

Wired.com just did a series of related articles focusing on air travel. This includes some images by Jeffrey Milstein of commercial airplanes taken from directly below near the end (or beginning?) of the runway. On Milstein's own site jeffreymilstein.com he displays a wider variety of aircraft, and some other non-aircraft related projects. The wired article and extended image gallery is here.




Wired also posted this sweet time-lapse representation of flights over the U.S. in a 24 hour period (brighter lines = lower altitude).

John H. Abbott - Elimination

Selections from the portfolio of John H. Abbott (not to be confused with the many other photographers named John Abbott that show up on google). His site, which can be found here features two closely related projects entitled Catharsis and Elimination. Elimination takes the subject (power lines) and actual photographs from Catharsis and reduces them to stark, high contrast designs.

I have chosen only to show these latter images because they are in all ways superior to the collection of photographs which inspired them. However, feel free to check out both collections on his site if you're interested in seeing the development.

Overload

You might remember my post featuring the overloaded train. Here's a similar photo of a truck. So, do you think they made it wherever they were going?

Grant Willing

Here are two images from Grant Willing. I have mixed feelings about his larger body of work, but like these a lot. Find more here.

Johanna Reed

Here are some gems from Johanna Reed. Check out more here. Despite only posting work from the last three years, there's plenty to look at.

Photos of Light


Pop Machines

Providence, RI night photographs

These photographs were shot by three different photographers based in Providence, Rhode Island. Interesting takes on the same night scene. I found them on flickr.com, the names above each image link to their individual flickr pages.

Merry Christmas Batman

Oh man, too funny. This one is thanks to Digg.com.

Phillipe Gerlach

There's some really cool work to be found on Phillipe Gerlach's page phillipegerlach.com. Check it out. Here are some of my favorites.

William Greiner

I like this shot from William Greiner. Kill your tv, you can steal it all online anyway. See more of his work here.

Jamie-James Medina

Fun with dicks. Check out Jamie-James Medina's non-dick related material here.

Maxim Ryazansky

Some interesting middle-America shots from Maxim Ryazansky. There's more good ones to be found here.

Dan Siney

Here's cool shot from Dan Siney, the person standing on that roof makes it. Otherwise it would be a rather mediocre nighttime cityscape. More from Dan Siney here.

Dash Snow

More from Dash Snow can be found on the tinyvices.com website, here. His posted work appears to be exclusively polaroids.

Trevor Paglen

Trevor Paglen combines art with an obsession with American government black-ops. The photograph below is from a series called "The Other Night Sky" featuring satellites that officially do not exist, spy satellites. He also shoots covert CIA prisons abroad and restricted bases on American soil. Very cool stuff. Better yet, he's coming to Oberlin to speak on Monday, December 8th at 12:00 noon at the Cat in the Cream. Come hear him speak and check out his site at paglen.com.


This one is from a series featuring military patches and insignia from black ops operations. I thought it was funny for its straight-forwardness.


Finally, how scary is this...

David Levinthal

Here are some great photographs of miniatures by David Levinthal, he's the best in that field in my opinion. There are striking similarities between these and my recent Army Man photographs. Check out more of his impressive collection at davidlevinthal.com. Above each image I have listed the name of the series it is a part of.

Hitler Moves East



Mein Kampf


Modern Romance

Yvonne Lacet

These are from two series by Yvonne Lacet. The first three are from "template of a sleeping city" and the last is from "incognito". You can find the full series and more at yvonnelacet.nl. Thanks goes out to i heart photograph for this reference.

Michael Pierazzi

Night photographs from The Nocturnes' website. You can find more about Michael Pierazzi here on their site, not many more of his images though.

Lost America

Here are some photographs from Troy Paiva's site lostamerica.com. Again, not really urban photography, I think I jumped the gun on declaring a theme for myself. Anyway, gotta represent the night photographs, so enjoy. Too much light painting on the site in my opinion, but I don't usually like colored light painting anyhow.

Didier Massard

I have to interrupt the just-announced urban theme to introduce some of Didier Massard's truly epic photographs of miniatures. Take a look for yourself at didiermassard.net. Great stuff.
