Ballerinas, Berlin

Photograph by Maria Helena Buckley

Ballerinas prepare to hit the stage at a theater in Berlin.  In the past decade, an emergence of world-class ballerinas and choreographers has led to a rising interest in German ballet.

We’re numb here as the clock nears 4:30 a.m., and we’re not quite sure what to do. The deaths of Chris Hondros and Tim Hetherington on Tripoli Street still seem unreal. Bryan just walked off from the little space we’ve been huddled in, working. He’ll sleep soon, I hope. The work kept us busy…

Great advice! Credit photos correctly!

“Should I post this image?”: a flow chart

A few weeks ago I wrote a post about my concerns with photo crediting on the Internet. This poster should answer most of the questions that were posed in the comments and be an easy reference if you are ever confused as to how to credit something. Thanks to Pia Jane Bijerk and Erin Loechner for creating it. The beautiful fonts are by Yvette Van Boven. More thanks to Nichole Robertson, Amanda Gilligan, Lisa Warninger, Grace Bonney,  and all the great people on Twitter for helping to spread the word about this issue!

This could be a little easier to read (what’s with the weird gradient?) but it should be required reading. See it bigger →

Photography’s Longest Exposure

Six months. That’s right. This dream-like picture shows each phase of the sun over Bristol’s Clifton Suspension Bridge taken during half a year. The image was captured on a pin-hole camera made from an empty soda can with a 0.25mm aperture and a single sheet of photographic paper. Photographer Justin Quinnell strapped the camera to a telephone pole overlooking the Gorge, where it was left between December 19, 2007 and June 21, 2008—the Winter and Summer solstices. (That’s a 15,552,000 second exposure.) ‘Solargraph’ shows six months of the sun’s luminescent trails and its subtle change of course caused by the earth’s movement in orbit. The lowest arc being the first day of exposure on the Winter solstice, while the top curves were captured mid-Summer. (Dotted lines of light are the result of overcast days when the sun struggled to penetrate the cloud.) Quinnell, a renowned pin-hole camera artist, says the photograph took on a personal resonance after his father passed away on April 13—halfway through the exposure. He says the picture allows him to pinpoint the exact location of the sun in the sky at the moment of his father passing
