Photographer Sophie Gamand, shot Flower Power, a cute photographic series trying to clear the “bad name” of pitbull-type dogs. Unfortunately, because of their bad image, pitbulls have the false reputation of being more dangerous than other dogs, so Gamand decided to photograph them with flower crowns, to associate them with a softer and more feminine imagery. All the models from the series are shelter dogs who were waiting for adoption at the time of the photograph…

Gamand is also the photographer behind the hilarious Wet Dog series.

How graphic design production was

This is a trailer for the documentary, Graphic Means – now in post-production – that explores graphic design production of the 1950s through the 1990s.

Before the computers there was paste-up, scalpel and a lot of Letraset. As a person who remembers some of these tools, this film sounds like a nostalgia trip, but also reminds me how lucky I was, being able to learn and work with a desktop computer from the early beginning.

Things organized neatly in a book

CARS / Things Organized Neatly, book by Austin Radcliffe

A new book is out from Austin Radcliffe who created the awarded website Things Organized Neatly.

The site is a collection of objects compulsively organized: “From toy collections, to artworks and editorial photography, the site collects thousands of images of neatly arranged things that have a near Zen-like impact on your brain as you scroll through the site.”  

Although verging on OCD, I happen to love this particular concept and this is another similar book I enjoyed last year.

Moving light paintings

Train by Lucea Spinelli / Moving light paintings

Interesting animations created by photographer Lucea Spinelli.  Spinelli experiments and creates moving light paintings (phōtosgraphé) using the technique of long exposure.

“Photography is the process of drawing with light, as it’s etymology implies: a compound of the greek words φωτός (phōtos) “light” and γραφή (graphé) “representation by means of lines” or “drawing”. Like a human eye, the camera receives impressions of light reflected off the world around us. When making long exposures, the film (or sensor) becomes a canvas for as long as the shutter is open, permitting light to act like paint on a brush.”

  • A Canadian launched a website inviting Americans to take refuge on an island off Nova Scotia, in case Donald Trump wins the elections. It received almost a million visits. Haha!

Have a great weekend!

Humans of New York

Humans of New York book

Maybe you have already heard of Humans of New York. Since last autumn, I personally started following the posts in Facebook, but all this time, without realizing the story behind it.

Humans of New York is a blog and bestselling book that started in 2010 by Brandon Stanton. Having lost his job as a bond trader and with little more than a camera, Stanton initially started off the project, as an anthropological experiment, planning to gather 10,000 portraits of New Yorkers and group them on a map of the city. However the project soon evolved, when Stanton started having conversations with his subjects and including small quotes and stories alongside his photographs. The photo blog soon became a massive cultural phenomenon with a huge following through social media (millions of followers on Facebook and Instagram). Stanton himself evolved into an inspiring visual storyteller and humanist, covering many stories from migrants and refugees and trying to  raise awareness.

His excellent “Open Letter to Donald Trump” went immediately viral yesterday. Despite trying not to be political, Stanton decided to write a powerful letter criticizing Trump for inciting violence at his rallies and promoting hateful ideologies toward Muslims, refugees and immigrants. Definitely worth reading (you can also find it here).
