Jay Maisel is known for his lush color images of the world, but his newest book is black and white photographs of New York in the 1950’s. He has been prowling New York capturing the pulse of the city longer than most photographers have been alive. He is still out there photographing New York with …

I liked this and thought others would too
The Great Fredini
The Great Fredini has created a 3D printed model of Coney Island’s historic Luna Park. This first came to my attention in 2013 through his Kickstarter campaign to fund the project – and scan supporters to populate Luna Park. Since I was deep into using 3D printing for my Ascent Project I was fascinated and …

Light Reclaimed
Perfection is over-rated. And Charles Schwartz’ Light Reclaimed work is proof. Charles has collected imperfect old ambrotypes and tintypes that show the patina of time and he has scanned and enlarged them to make his Light Reclaimed series. He writes: “over time I found myself drawn to boxes containing the undesirable – broken, scratched, partially …
Spaceship Earth
Amazing photos and videos of Earth from space. As a lover of maps I am fascinated by aerial and space photos of earth. I love to see where we are in relation to other people and places. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/18/opinion/sunday/gorgeous-glimpses-of-calamity.html Sometimes it takes a very talented photographer to get the great image, sometimes it is simply a …
The Billiad
I have completed The BILLIAD! The sequel to ODDYSSEY is about my exploration of Westheimer Road in Houston Texas. 27 miles of ego trip condensed into a 100 page book with 67 photographs. I spent 3 days in March 2013 traveling the gauntlet of Westheimer Road photographing myself with all things Westheimer. If you could …
Stop Motion Video
“Solo, Piano – N.Y.C.” – A video recently posted to the NY Times website is a wonderful use of still photographs to make a video. It is a great subject handled sensitively and effectively. The film maker Anthony Sherin saw a piano on the curb in front of his apartment waiting to be hauled off …
One more thing that doesn’t work
When I moved to West Orange, New Jersey I became a neighbor of Thomas Edison. Here are a few Gigapans I made of his home and grave: His body rests in the back yard of his mansion, now a National Park, just a few blocks from my home and studio. His laboratory is also part …
