lewis carroll

hello all. so for those of you who know me, you know that I like photographing children. and alice in wonderland. so what could be better than lewis carroll photographing children? answer: nothing.

I present to you the photography of the legendary writer/possible pedophile, and you can decide for yourself if he was creepy or artistic. I choose to believe he was artistic.

(the last two photos are of alice liddell, on whom alice in wonderland was based. she's also in the second photo, on the right)

So I really enjoy manipulating photographs and a friend of mine (Ciara) told me to check out this very famous photographer :http://www.uelsmann.net/ . Ofcourse, I quickly recognized an image of a house with roots coming out of the bottom.Jerry Uelsmann does some of the most wonderful images through manipulations but solely in the dark room. His talent is marvelous and his imagination is inspiring!

Revisiting the scene of the crime

On a recent visit to Frank's barbershop on Thompson, below 3rd Street, my son, Keiji posed for a picture with a picture. Sal is holding a photo of Keiji's first haircut, which he's had on display in the shop for the past sixteen years. We'll give him a copy of this update and hope for another opportunity in 2027, when I'll be 80. Life is short... art is long!

Claes Källarsson

Claes Källarsson is a Sweedish photographer and designer. He takes gorgeous landscape shots. Some of his best work comes from a road trip he took across America about two years ago- there is some really incredible stuff in his Flickr and Tumblr galleries. I really love the American landscape-- some of my favorite photographers are Stephen Shore and David Graham-- and these are really gorgeous examples that show how wonderful and strange the USA is.

Spooky, Scary...

Bombest photo series ever.

There's a haunted house in Canada that photographs people's overly frightened faces while walking through the crazy scary haunted house. Check out the series here.

PS- In the first photo, the guy in the green looks so much like Jim Carrey.

Young photographer extraordinaire Alex Stoddard

Hey y'all! Allow me to introduce you to the absolutely amazing Alex Stoddard, he's only seventeen years old, but showcases some serious talent. His self-portraits have really been he's gain-to-fame on Flickr, they're really illusionary and delicate. Lovely light tones and colors create an overall dream-like effect and transform his settings from ordinary to whimsical. Below are some of my favorites, along with a link to his Flickr.
