Basta vedere pochi scatti di Sandra Torralba per rimanerne ammaliati e incuriositi. Folgorati dalla genialità dei simboli e del modo in cui vengono espressi, la sua ironia ci trasporta foto dopo foto a scoprire la sessuale chiave di lettura del suo mondo e di ciò che la circonda. Una sessualità pura, nella sua essenza più…
Wer darf fotografieren?
Wie sicher viele wissen, ist seit 2004 in Deutschland das Fotografengewerbe kein geschützter Berufszweig mehr, sodass jeder, der glaubt, die Tätigkeit ausüben zu können, dies auch tun darf. Den Fotografenmeister und die Ausbildung zum Fotografen u.ä. hingegen gibt es nach wie vor. Somit ergibt sich immer noch die Einschränkung der Bezeichnung. (Berufs)Fotograf darf sich nämlich nur derjenige nennen, der auch eine entsprechende Ausbildung bzw. einen Befähigungsnachweis vorlegen kann. Nicht geschützte Bezeichnungen, wobei die bekannteste sicher Fotodesigner, Bildjournalist oder einfach Fotografie ist, darf jeder verwenden.
Im jüngsten digitalkamera.de-Test wird die Nikon D90 ausführlich untersucht . Die 12,3-Megapixel-Kamera ist die erste – aber seit der Ankündigung der Canon EOS 5D Mark II nicht mehr die einzige – digitale Spiegelreflexkamera, die auch kurze Videosequenzen aufzeichnen kann, mit den richtigen Speicherkarten gefüttert, läuft sie auch beim Fotografieren zu Höchstleistungen auf.
Ich habe Euch schon eine ganze Weile nicht mehr an meiner Arbeit teilhaben lassen. Dabei ist in diesem Jahr so viel passiert, dass ich gar nicht alles aufschreiben kann. Einige Jobs habe ich allerdings dokumentiert und werde sie ganz bald alle für Euch posten.
Bereits im Frühsommer durfte ich mit meinem Kollegen Heiko Palach für "Jolie" arbeiten.
"A recently constructed section of the controversial US-Mexico border fence expansion project crosses previously pristine desert sands at sunrise on March 14, 2009 between Yuma, Arizona and Calexico, California. The new barrier between the US and Mexico stands 15 feet tall and sits on top of the sand so it can lifted by a machine and repositioned whenever the migrating desert dunes begin to bury it. The almost seven miles of floating fence cost about $6 million per mile to build. (David McNew/Getty Images)"
Jackalopes are fun. Jackalopes are cool. I made a pilgrimage to Wall, South Dakota to obtain my two Jackalopes. It’s amazing I’ve collected this many Jackalope postcards.
The Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii Collection features color photographic surveys of the vast Russian Empire made between ca. 1905 and 1915. Frequent subjects among the 2,607 distinct images include people, religious architecture, historic sites, industry and agriculture, public works construction, scenes along water and railway transportation routes, and views of villages and cities. An active photographer and scientist, Prokudin-Gorskii (1863-1944) undertook most of his ambitious color documentary project from 1909 to 1915. The Library of Congress purchased the collection from the photographer's sons in 1948.
Over the course of his career, from 1628, the first date appearing on certain of his etchings, to 1665, Rembrandt produced more than three hundred prints. Thanks to the specificity and wide distribution of these engravings, he rapidly became famous.
Today, we try to build machines that work like animals.. The University of Houston's College of Engineering presents this series about the machines that make our civilization run, and the people whose ingenuity created them. French physiologist Etienne Jules Marey was born in 1830, and he trained in medicine and physiology. For the first ten years of his career, Marey focused on instrumentation. He measured the circulation and hydraulics of blood and breath, the elasticity, strength, and tone of muscle, the behavior of the heart. To do all this, he built a stunning variety of mechanical instruments.
Etienne-Jules Marey was a physiologist and chronophotographer. Born in Beaune, France, in 1830, Marey went to Paris in 1849 to enrol at the faculty of medicine and to study surgery and physiology. He qualified as a doctor in 1859, and in 1864 set up in a small Parisian laboratory where he studied the circulation of the blood, publishing Le mouvement dans les fonctions de la vie in 1868. From 1863, Marey perfected the first elements of his 'methode graphique', which studied movement using recorded instruments and graphs. Using polygraphs and similar recording instruments he succeded in analysing diagrammatically the walk of man and of a horse, the flight of birds and insects. The results - published in La Machine Animale in 1873 - aroused much interest and led Leland Stanford and Eadweard Muybridge to pursue their own researches, by means of photography, into horse movement. In turn, the influence of Muybridge and of those in Marey's circle, including Alphonse Penaud, (...)
The Virtual Laboratory is a digitalization project devoted to the history of the experimentalization of life. Its main focus is the interaction between the life sciences, arts and architecture, media and technology. It consists of two related parts, an archive and the laboratory. As an archive, the VL offers numerous scans of texts and images concerning experiments, instruments, buildings, scientists and artists between 1830 and 1930 as well as categorized datasheets derived from this holdings. The laboratory constitutes a platform where historians of science, culture and technology as well as students can present their recent research on the experimentalization of life and explore new modes of writing history.

A contemporary of Eadweard Muybridge, Etienne-Jules Marey was not a photographer. His field was physiology, a relatively new science of the human body that allowed him to indulge his love of physics and engineering. Marey considered the body an animate machine, subject to the same laws as inanimate machines, and he dedicated his life to analyzing the laws that governed its movements
expatriate Englishman Eadweard Muybridge (1830–1904), a brilliant and eccentric photographer, gained worldwide fame photographing animal and human movement imperceptible to the human eye
