This is one of the smartest examples of what it is like to be in the commercial photography business. Now I want to be the client! The only thing missing here is some banter about rights and usage. “Yes I want this video but I need to be able to see all of the others for no additional fee. You gotta work with me here!”

My friend George Anderson sent this to me from this smithsonian blog. It is right on the mark. I do have to say that my head is still partly stuck in the “don’t let it out the door mentality”. What do you think?
I have booked my tickets… you? Don’t forget about eye tattoos as well, for feelunique.com. Great advertising space.

“Summary: During a segment in which Fox & Friends co-hosts Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade labeled New York Times reporter Jacques Steinberg and editor Steven Reddicliffe “attack dogs,” Fox News featured photos of Steinberg and Reddicliffe that appeared to have been digitally altered — the journalists’ teeth had been yellowed, their facial features exaggerated, and portions of Reddicliffe’s hair moved further back on his head.”

“Nothing grabs an audience’s attention more effectively than a clever optical illusion. Combine that with an ingenious ad campaign and you get this brilliant mobile billboard for The Red Cross, currently gracing the streets of San Francisco.
It’s photo journalism, meets Hollywood blockbuster movie poster, and it is turning plenty of heads wherever it parks itself. Enthusiastic onlookers have been snapping up photos of the mobile billboard and posting, uploading and sharing them online with friends. This is a brilliant example of how an audience can further promote the exposure of a great advertising campaign through mobile phones, blogs and sites such as flicker. ” quited from the coolhunter.net

In October 2006, FotoFest International, China Hewlett Packard and a team of Chinese photographers and businessmen collaborated to create an international portfolio review program for Chinese photographers. Modeled on FotoFest’s portfolio review program in Houston, TX, the Meeting Place FotoFest Beijing was an unprecedented event in China. From 278 Chinese photographic artists, this web gallery presents 34 artists selected by participating reviewers.

Qiu Zhen is just one of the may facinating Chinese photographers to view at the link below. I only wish there was some more information about Zhen on the site.

Paula Scher is a powerhouse designer, having worked for the vernerable Pentagram for years.
“There were a couple things that really struck me when I saw the maps by Scher. The immense scale was the first thing that hit me. Between that and all the layers of information and colour it was really mesmerizing. It was one of the few times when I was drawn into the work and really just got sucked in. I didn’t spend hours with the work but I’ll definitely visit those maps again before the end of the show. I also managed to get a gallery catalogue of all the maps. Reflecting the scale of the show, the book is quite large as well. ” Quote from designnotes

A must view is the commercial photography work of Quentin Shih in China. It reminds me of the quality, excitement and creativity of work from New York City but from the Asian point of view.
Great design and illustration on a wonderfully simple website.

For seven straight days, Jonathan Harris took at least one photograph every five minutes on an Alaskan whale hunt. In the process, he may have reinvented how we tell stories. Magnificent.
I have to admit I did not get it the first time I viewed it. But now that I understand the concept I do enjoy the process of viewing this unique site. You have to go to the website to begin to understand what you are looking at above.

I love the simplicity and bold communication behind this series. Each book has its own distinct visual, but also a very strong visual cohesiveness. Helen Yentus, the designer, stated that she wanted to “reflect the time when these books were written but also to hold on to a contemporary aesthetic that hopefully won’t feel dated in a few years.” These do have a sustainable vintage appeal to them.
