In searching for a special way to photograph her daughter Emma on her 5th birthday, Jaime Moore decided to dress her up as the most influential women in history. She writes about the series:

I wanted her to know the value of these amazing women who had gone against everything so she can now have everything.

Japanese artists Yoshihisa Tanaka and Ryuta Liada have come up with a brilliant photography project. In Misunderstanding Focus, subjects were asked to stand as still as possible for 3 minutes while a camera recorded their movements.

After that, the team compiled the images taken into a single picture.

Students were shown how to make paper cranes

Not as easy as it looks

After some practice, they were asked to make paper fish

Students had the chance to have their names written in Japanese

Some even tried it for themselves

Some names were far more complex than others

How many lentils could you pick up with Japanese hashi in 2 minutes? Probably not many!

“I hope that viewers of my website would know the character of each escalator, and would pay attention to escalators in their cities.” -Miha Tamura

Today, Eric Jaffe introduces us to the woman behind the Tokyo Escalator blog, Miha Tamura. She’s on a mission to save escalators from obscurity, documenting them in order to show how extraordinary they can be.

Tamura grew up in Kanazawa, where there are very few escalators besides local department stores. She currently lives in Tokyo, a city with plenty of escalators to keep fueling her fascination.

The halfcat, attracting newly revived interest on Twitter thanks to this blog post, appears to have first been spotted in this blog post in August 2009. But there are no attributions. The latest reports pin it to Street View - not mentioned in the original posting - and it certainly appears to be Street View image, but, lacking coordinates, the halfcat seems destined to be a mystery forever, one of any number of mythical beings, lost in the Clouds.

More interesting than the halfcat’s strangeness, perhaps, is its unknowability. Someone saw the halfcat, snapped it, but the route back is lost. The databases contain such multitudes of new myths.

here’s to hoping GSV someday has a halfjenny.

mmd303:

Photography is a game, and cameras define the rules in which this game is played, but how to change those rules? Students of the Advanced Photography course (MMD303) were challenged to do things that the camera did not expect: smuggle unexpected things into its program, trick it, force it to do the improbable, or ignore it altogether; they were asked to “play against” the camera rather than “with it”. This exhibition presented the students’ responses to this challenge.
