The Online Photographer: My Second Article for NewYorker.com
It’s such a pleasure reading his excitement about this article, and the difference between his blog posts and a New Yorker article. Lovely article too.

Marc’s Place - SetEXIFData
Mac app front end to exiftool, for setting Exif data on photos and videos, including using a map to set their location. A bit harder to see existing Exif data nicely. (via Colin Devroe)

The Online Photographer: Best Film Cameras for Newbies
Re “Mike’s Comment” below the cameras, I bet there’s a similar sweet spot in the development of most technologies – cars, computers, others that don’t start with “c” – and that it should have a name.
-
The Online Photographer: Ten Iconic Photographs: No. 10
I’m enjoying this series of posts. The background and context is always more interesting than I expect writing about a single photo to be.

Lovely portraits in a park by Bruce Polin. (via The Online Photographer)
-
Portraits - Washington DC Photographer Stephen Voss

Really good history of why “full frame” digital cameras have a sensor size of 24mm x 36mm, dimensions set in 1913.

The Online Photographer: Best Comment Ever
“The endless upgrade cycle, the more and more laborious and tedious mastery of imaging software, the solid belief in technical improvement and control as a means to achieve success, all of this leads one further and further away from any possibility of making original or authentic work.”
-
Olympus PEN-F
Purely because it’s a lovely review of a camera. Nicely written, detailed without being nerdy-in-a-bad-way, and open to a change of mind.
-
Art — Detroit Photographic Company
Nice photos by Roy Feldman. (via The Online Photographer)
-
David Thorpe - YouTube
Camera reviews (of Micro Four Thirds cameras) by a sensible-sounding British man, as opposed to an over-excited “Hi guys!” American describing cameras as “sexy puppies”. (via The Online Photographer)

Zno - next gen photobooks, Layflat Photo Books…
Because I came across these a couple of weeks ago and then forgot the name, unsurprisingly. (via The Online Photographer)
-
The Online Photographer: How To Buy Lenses
A nice summary of a series of posts about camera lenses, for future reference when/if I’m feeling flush.

continuum | Flickr
Although I love Chris Dorley-Brown’s photos, I hadn’t seen this series he’d done before. Photos, both by him, of the same London locations years, or decades, apart. Nicely done.
-
Interview with Chris Dorley-Brown | The Great Leap Sideways
Lots of interesting things about his great photography, and about London, in this 2012(?) interview. “London is really still cleaning up after a war that ended in 1945.”

Headshot Hunter | Compare Actor Headshot Photographers
I’m not sure why I’m surprised this exists, but it does. The search/browse form’s a bit confusing, but still.

Lovely Tumblr of photographs, each one similar to the previous, but slightly different, gradually changing.

Some lovely photos of mostly east London. Good colours and more. (via The Online Photographer)

A Visit to the Treasure Vaults
Some good stuff about how Kodak was often too early with digital camera technology, not too late, and was no good at marketing it.
-
Rightmove.co.uk - Featured Collections
Sure I’ve said this before, but I hope Rightmove, Zoopla, and/or estate agents are archiving photos. It’d be an amazing resource for historians.

Reading Right-to-Left | booktwo.org
James Bridle on form. “I know people don’t read books like they used to, and they don’t think like they used to, but I struggle to care. … I’m feeling more sure of [the internet’s] cultural value and legacy, and more assertive about stating it.” Also, that reading a landscape right-to-left stuff.

The Online Photographer: The Culture of Photography
Both for the topic – about how the different kinds of photography are changing – but also as an example of a blog with routinely great (moderated) comments. It’s also wonderful that Mike Johnston pulls out the best comments at the end of each post.
-
BLDGBLOG: 100 Views of a Drowning World
I love these images; click through to the Tumblr for more, but linking to this for the nice commentary too. Love them.

Really good photos of people in Kiev. Maybe taken before the recent fighting. Just waiting, tired. (via The Online Photographer)

Photography, hello — Software ate the camera, but freed the photograph by Craig Mod
So many quotable bits. And it’s about more than cameras. About the uncomfortable but fruitful position of straddling technological shifts. About the value of a new product that simplifies only a tiny number of steps. About the importance of the network to story-telling.

Photo scanning made easy. We collect from you | Vintage Photo Lab
They scan your old photos. Not extortionate, given how long it’d take to do yourself. (via Noisy Decent Graphics)

I rather like these, the artist inserting herself taking a photo into old photos. (via Kottke)

HINT.FM: The Art Of Reproduction
I like this idea - making a famous image out of a mosaic of different versions of it found online - but i hate that needless faux-3D tiled effect. Odd. (via The Online Photographer)
