Entire Cities recreated from Flickr Photos
(591 views)YOU can get a good sense of the grandeur of Rome’s Colosseum by looking at photos, but can lots of snaps communicate the true extent of the ancient ruins that are scattered throughout Italy’s Eternal City? They can now, thanks to a team from the University of Washington in Seattle that has developed a method of creating accurate 3D simulations of entire cities using thousands of photos.

Hardcore:Michael Soluri on the still life of space hardware.
(523 views)
There is nothing more exciting than to see a set of polished tools astronauts use in there pursuit to exploring the universe. The aesthetics of space technology have their own construct that may not be taught in design schools, but I am sure it has influenced more professions than we can count. I came across a recent set if photos taken by Michael Soluri, who is a New York City based photographer that had a rare opportunity to photograph a set of tools. The photographs were taken in a clean room, upon which his equipment had to be disassembled and chemically bathed before hand and had to wear a nylon-suit, with boots and latex gloves -as not to contaminate the tools. Please feel free to browse through his photos>>>

kipp wettstein camera project
(514 views)
The work above is part of Kipp Wettstein’s large format camera series that he has constructed himself. The 8×10 Carbon/Aluminum is amazing. “portable, wide-angle camera using a molded carbon fiber cone attached to a body plate machined from a solid block of 7075-T651 aircraft aluminum”. The lens is a Schneider 165mm Super Angulon, and “at four pounds, its weight nearly matches that of the camera body”.
