This neat little camera looks like it could be the Holga of digital, making digital photography accessible to those who are intimidated by the large, super complex cameras of today. I want one of these. Check out the review here, a sample photo gallery here, and the picture above links to the product website.
I was looking at upcoming Guggenheim exhibits and found John Chamberlain. His website doesn’t have any images of his sculpture pieces that will be at the Guggenheim but he does have a ton of photography archived on his site. Unfortunately the site is from the 90’s or some archaic time so it can be a little harsh on the eyes.

Chamberlain warps his images in really interesting ways to extend rooms and almost simulate a panoramic image. He also does this thing where he stretches out faces. So weird.
The New York Times posted a new article about Cindy Sherman in light of her show, opening February 26th, at the Museum of Modern Art. It’s a very interesting look into her life and work.

Just wanted to share this interesting photo-illustrated story that Julia Sapin mentioned in her AH 271 class last week. There’s some great combination shots in here, documenting a specific scene right after the earthquake and tsunami hit and then the same shot taken three months later and finally, how the scene looks now. Check it out:
