Elliott Erwitt, Third Avenue El, 1955
…Have i posted this before? I can’t remember what I’ve seen and what I haven’t seen anymore!
Disabled Pets by Carli Davidson. Photographer Carli Davidson was inspired to create this beautiful and heartwarming series after seeing a German Shepherd in a wheelchair playing happily with its owner. According to Carli, “It was so happy, a dog doing what dogs do, totally undeterred by its disability. I felt inspired by the whole scenario. The owner made this choice out of love, to do a little extra work every day to make sure his friend was happy and comfortable.” (via Dog Milk)
Custom-Printed Ceramic Tiles. What a great idea!
I love this idea so much I’ve blogged it twice.

Diego Gimenez mixes his photography with his morning commute – capturing drivers on the road during his hour-long drive to his web design day-job. The result is this arresting series, 122 voyeuristic glimpses through the windows of his roadside companions. “They are very private photos in a public space,” says the Argentine artist, “they are in their own world.”
From the look of things that world involves a lot of yawning, nose picking, and gazing off into space, but it’s still fascinating. (via It’s Nice That : Diego Gimenez: Highway Portraits)

It’s Nice That made me smile by posting about the 1980s Argos Catalogue collection that is on Flickr. They’re amazing to click through - I’m posting it because I just love the fact that they picked the electronic games page to represent the collection. They were certainly some of my most poured over pages in the catalogues! Those and god-awful sparkly Elizabeth Duke rings…
15 Years That Changed Photography
Sixty years ago this week, the Photo League fell victim to Cold War witch hunts and blacklists, closing its doors after 15 intense years of trailblazing – and sometimes hell-raising – documentary photography. From unabashedly leftist roots, the group influenced a generation of photographers who transformed the documentary tradition, elevating it to heady aesthetic heights. Yet with the accusations leveled against the group and Sid Grossman, one of its founders and legendary teachers, the narrative, such as it is known, was a flawed tale. “They’ve been erased by history,” said Mason Klein, curator at the Jewish Museum in New York. “They’re just considered a bunch of old leftists, and that is not a fair charge. The influence Mr. Grossman had on the variety of work being done at the league is something unappreciated.” Mr. Klein has helped correct that narrative, co-curating a show opening Friday at the museum titled “The Radical Camera: New York’s Photo League, 1936-1951.” The exhibition, which runs through March 25, is a collaboration with the Columbus Museum of Art in Ohio, whose collection also has dozens of vintage prints by members of the league. As a whole, the show takes the viewer from overtly political images that decry poverty, racism and violence to more nuanced observations of postwar American life. It also shows a vibrant photographic milieu where women, including Berenice Abbott and Lisette Model, were influential members.

Sounds amazing! » The Lytro camera uses a different technique for capturing light, allowing post-shot focusing. (via Design Curiosities)
