I went to Abu Dhabi in February and stopped by the ole’ Falcon Hospital for some face time with the predatory birds. It was fascinating and terrifying. More photos here.

Missy Prince | Photographer

Found this chick’s work through Photojojo tumblr and really liked it. It’s a mix of Stephen Shore and maybe a little Eggleston.

I recently remembered this absolutely sick video by well-known photographer Pieter Hugo and was recommending it to some colleagues tonight. Good lord Spoek Mathambo and Hugo respectively kill it with execution on the song and the visuals.

Advice to Young Photographers

I feel like the advice contained in this column is useful for anyone, aspiring photographers or not.  Alec Soth, the creator of this collection, says it best: “If in your heart of hearts, you want to take pictures of kitties, take pictures of kitties.” 

A visual guide to the advice column. (On Eric Kim’s blog.)

Photographs: Women Posing As…

I once had the idea of photoshopping images from conflicts and war zones to make them appear as fashion shoots. It was a sophomoric concept to highlight the absurdity and banality of high fashion as it relates to the real-world issues most people face.

Thankfully Yolanda Dominguez had a more refined approach to the idea. She’s re-created fashion magazine spreads and poses in real life using real women (not models).  

I love her project, especially the humour behind the critique.

Find out more about Yolanda’s project.
