“Currently residing in metropolitan Detroit, Michigan, but having lived in Colorado, Oregon, and Wisconsin, I have developed an interest in the interaction between man and environment. Whether the urban decay associated with Detroit, or the mountains of the western United States, my focus has been and continues to be on the landscape.” (-kevinbauman.com)

Nadia Moro, a fashion and commercial photographer based in Italy covers a wide style of modern fashion photography. Much of her work has a light and elegant feel about it. What I found most inticing was her underwater shots. They have a gentle yet eerie and surreal quality about them.

“An experimental photographer that is still a novice to the media Mike has had no education in photography. It was a case of picking up a camera in 2006 and seeing what he could do with it. After many months of frustration and a complete refusal to read any manual he started to produce images that showed some semblance to many photographers he admired.

"Neil Krug's photography and directorial video work often touches on a rough, 
vintage, psychedelic feel. In other work, he captures the simple beauty of 
landscapes as well as the female form" (-http://www.neilkrug.com/)

This Day In History of the Day: On May 17, 1861 — exactly 150 years ago — Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell and photographer Thomas Sutton (who invented the SLR camera that same year) used three projectors fitted with red, green, and blue filters to combine three black-and-white photos of a tartan ribbon shot through similar filters, thereby forming the world’s first color photo (above) and, consequently, the “basis of nearly all subsequent photochemical and electronic methods of colour photography.”

A portrait of Miranda July, one of my favorite artists, by one of my favorite photographers Autumn De Wilde, an American photographer and director, daughter of Jerry De Wilde (known for photos of Jimi Hendrix and Monterey Pop Festival) is known for her commercial work and portraiture. She’s worked in photographing countless musical groups and actors. Everyone from Willie Nelson to Elliot Smith, to Kirsten Dunst and Death Cab. Her style varies with her aims, but she keeps up with the times when it comes to her unconventional sense.

Also known as electrophotography or ‘aura’ photography, the practice was popularized in the early 20th century by a Russian scientist Konstantin Karotkov, and said to capture the photographed body’s corona, or energy field without the use of film. Some say it is a simple recording of a living entity’s electrical current, affected by the atmosphere’s humidity and temperature, whilst others claim it’s capable of recording the spirit’s ‘life-force’ or electromagnetic field of the subject’s aura. Claims concerning “The phantom Leaf” experiment, where a section of leaf removed will leave a corona of it’s former body haven’t been fully explained. Either way, they are fascinating and have puzzled scholars and scientists for quite some time.
