I’m sure a lot of you have seen these images, but I love Dan Mountford’s use of double exposure and vector graphics to create rich, interesting portraits. Check out more of his work at http://www.flickr.com/photos/danmountford/
Very cool black and white portraits by Dima Strizh
Here is a link to some photos of the maderian woods by Jakob Wagner, which brought me back to the Flora project.
As promised, here is the entire Duane Michals interview. If you were at all interested in him or his work, you should watch it.
I thought this series of images was pretty interesting, and made me think about different ways of approaching the Flora project we have this week.
There are lots of other swell projects on Photography Served as well.

This is my girlfriend Carmen’s photo blog! She does great work! She used to go to Western! And she has work in the Beyond Borders show this year. Check it out.
These are a small group of some black and white photos of Indian Islamic Architecture that I think demonstrate the use of abstract composition, use of light, and tonal range that 290 has been talking about very well.
The statement at the top, ” The thing I don’t understand is why so often one hears discussion of the fruits of human labor as if it’s all the creation of some alien race”, was thought provoking as well, and pertinent to anyone who choosing a creative career or making art at all. We live in a society that demands a high volume of work and productivity, and I think quality often gets sacrificed. I think this statement and the images of the incredibly intricate and beautiful temples should remind us to slow down every once in a while and take the time to make extraordinary work, not just a lot of decent work.
