Triangle Triangle Review

Triangle Triangle is a very minimalist website. It has a single, individually-paned column of pictures, with the artist's name which links to their personal website. Upon further investigation it can be discovered that the website is a project of London-based Dow-Smith Studio, but it is just individual, unrelated pictures. But a very, very excellent collection of pictures.

"LSD" by Benoit Paillé ©2012

This image is one that jumped out at me immediately, though there were certainly a number that struck my interest. According to the artist's page, this picture was inspired under the influence of the title, and was shot by candlelight and a thirty-second exposure. Still, the vivid colours and presence of the trees mixed with the deep and popping stars beyond I find to be a very striking image.

Urbanautica Review - Joni Sternbach and the Discovery of the New York Subway 1975-1980

Largely an announcement of an exhibition, Joni Sternbach and the Discovery of the New York Subway 1975-1980 also provides a few images from "The Passengers", a project from before the artist became famous.

What grabbed me is how immediately striking the pictures are, each presenting a human element among the stark urban environment of the subways.

Aperture Review: The Other Life of Photographs

Aperture, not to be confused with the other Aperture, existed for most of the twentieth century as a magazine, is now also a website, and labels itself as a not-for-profit foundation, but it's always been about photography.

The Other Life of Photography written by Charles Bowden reflects on a life filled with, fascinated by, and really about photography. To be completely fair, the article is winding like the train-of-thoughts it is, filled with various anecdotes and leaping between times and occasions and general philosophizing, but its point is thus: Photography naturally has an innate draw, an innate believability that makes it seem real, and remains still enthralling after a lifetime. Even should a picture be worth a thousand words it's weighted heavily towards verbal imagery, but still provides a fascinating insight into the nature of photographs.

Bonus Round! - Double Exposure

So I got a Canon T3i. (Obligatory.) This resulted directly from using the university's T3 for the the Indecent Exposure project, and of course when you get a new camera you can't help but let Yakety Sax play as you run around enthusiastically imaging things. 

Or maybe that's just me. Regardless, I have a few more to tack on just for fun. 

Wow, that looks just like a dollhouse! Hint: It is.

Half as much for the challenge as anything else, I didn't use a tripod for any of these. These are two-second exposures with the primary support being my sternum. 

I always knew that small-bore shooting techniques would be useful for more than just competitive hole-punching...

Conscientious Review: Laia Abril - The Epilogue

Conscientious Photography Magazine is a weblog with a general interest in current fine-art photography, and a common article is a photobook review, like The Epilogue.

The Epilogue is not a photobook of some collection of pictures, it tells the story of the life of a woman, "Cammy," and her struggle with and eventual death at age 26 from anorexia. Along with family photos, it reproduces a number of documents and features text from people who knew her.

While the article itself is just a review, it still presents an interesting idea, using pictures and words together to complete a story, using each medium to do what the other can't.

Glasstire Review - Sights Unseen: Cleburne Cafeteria

Glasstire is a blog that - despite sounding like a microbrew beer - addresses what its banner declares: Texas visual art. More than just current art exhibitions and the like, however, they also frequently deal with things outside the usual box.

For example, the article "Sights Unseen: Cleburne Cafeteria" deals with Houston restaurant that bridges into the realm of a private art exhibition. The cafeteria was founded in 1952 by a Greek immigrant who lived art and painting, and decorated the walls of his restaurant with his paintings that waxed nostalgic about his old country. Really a fascinating article about the intersections between function and art.
