Hydro Project
“Voici la série “Hydro Project” qui permet de retracer en clichés la construction de barrages en Éthiopie et en Chine. Des photographies splendides, entre la nature et l’intervention de l’homme à découvrir parmi les différentes séries du photographe Rüdiger Nehmzow.”
I particularly love the colors and textures of these photographs.

Boulevard du Temple, Paris, France
By Louis Daguerre (1838)

From the man who invented the daguerreotype, this ten minute exposure features the first human being ever photographed. While everything that moved disappeared from the photograph, a single man in the bottom left corner stood still enough while getting his shoes shined to become the first person captured on film.

From the series Celestial Devotion. Tanjimul Yatim Khana, Chittagong, Bangladesh.
Students saying their prayer on the same wooden bench where they sleep, eat, and study. Orphans from different parts of the country get admitted in a orphanage cum Islamic school where they are taught, fed, and brought up for a better future. Most of the orphans come herebecause their parents have died or there is no one in the family to look after them, feed them, provide shelter, and pay for education.

Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York City Photograph by Christopher Thomas (2009)
“A new exhibition of photographs by Christopher Thomas, which opens at the Wapping Project Bankside in London tonight, reveals that the city that supposedly never sleeps does in fact have the odd moment of repose…

Thomas’s New York series was shot over several years using a custom-made large format camera, and offers up an unusual portrait of the city, a chance to view some of its most iconic buildings without the typical hustle and bustle of people flowing through them.”

Cabot Street Cinema, Massachusetts By Hiroshi Sugimoto (1978)
I like to use postcards as bookmarks. For me, the postcard I choose for each book represents my expectations, the mood I might get from reading. Really, I chose instinctually, almost randomly, and after a while I start to associate that postcard, that image, with the novel itself. This was my bookmark for Roberto Bolaño’s 2666. One of Sugimoto’s famed extra-long exposures which captured an entire film screening at a beautiful, old theater.
