Recently, I’ve found myself looking at Japanese Nude Photography. I’ve never really been a huge fan of Japanese art but their nude photography is beautiful. If you are at all interested in using the human figure in your works… check some out!  Here is one of my favorites ….  

I am really excited by this imagery in the movie about Facebook. It was directed by David Fincher, he has also directed Se7en, Fightclub, and Panic Room. He frequently uses a stationary shot, unfocused background with character walking into focus.

So here is a pretty amazing video of what new camera technology is able to capture now. GoPro Cameras gave a bunch of their new cameras to famous extreme sports athletes and made this video.

Here are some images from Lesley Dill’s talk last Friday.

Check out her work in preparation for our visit to the Whatcom Museum to see her exhibition!

Upon researching our artist for the Photo 390 class presentations, we came across an interesting interview. It was too long to show in class but it has some really insightful points, specifically the film clips of the Buzzclub (1995).
