Douglas Levere NYC Photographer Transplanted to Buffalo
Dean Kamen’s Artificial “Luke” Arm – Segway inventor reinvents the prosthetic arm: “I’ve been able to do stuff with this that I haven’t, seriously haven’t, done in 26 years… uh, pick up a banana, peel a banana and eat it without it squishening… I can’t wait to get one of these in a real environment, a home environment, and actually my wife can’t either. She’s going, oh yeah, I got lots of stuff for you to do.”

What if I told you you could download high resolution digital files, that you could print yourself, of some of the most famous images in American photo history? Well you can. Images like Dorthea Lange’s, Migrant Mother or Walker Evans Graveyard and Steel Mill, Bethlehem, PA and Gordon Parks, Newspaper Boy. You can search on Flickr but you need to go to the LOC website to get the large resolution files. So the Flickr is more of a tease but well worth it. As well I highly recommend viewing the 15 Popular Requests From the FSA-OWI Collection also follow the 15 “Staff Selections” which showcase some of their personal favorites from the collection.

A strange sight at Grand Central. A couple of hundred people, indistinguishable from the 500,000 commuters who pass through the midtown station each day, suddenly freeze. They were part of an improv group which has put on this public event before, but never in such a theatrical space. A cop was asked what was going on: “I have no idea! That is the craziest shit I’ve ever seen in my life, and I’m a cop!” (Click play to start the clip.)
Time stands still in New York City’s Grand Central Station.

The eye is an awesome object. I don’t think we really look, at the details around us, some of the most everyday objects in our lives. I have had the pleasure of photographing the human eye up close (the hard part is getting up close and not having a light source in the shot, I photoshoped mine out). It is an odd and beautiful thing. Check these out. You will also enjoy Rankin’s more commercial and personal work too.
