No joke. But even something that dirty can be beautiful through the eyes of a true artist. Photographer William Miller’s series Gowanus Canal drives that [...]

NYC is tilting off balance

Annie Churdar Contributor

By Annie Churdar in New Photography on Monday 11 March 2013

I can’t help but think of Jimmy Stewart in the old movie ‘Vertigo’ when I look at these photos. The weird, shifting angles are so disorienting. Tilt, a series by Brooklyn photographer Romain Laurent, portrays people in urban settings that are seemingly off balance. Everyday mundane activities are suddenly worth a second glance. Who are they smoking at [...]

Between 2003-2004, I worked as a volunteer in the Cambodian community of Oakland, CA. I grew up in small town, USA and at the time was unaware of the amount of culture and the things that the Cambodian people went through during the Pol Pot genocide. I heard so many stories of pain and loss [...]

Vincent Serritella Reader Find

By Vincent Serritella in New Photography on Thursday 28 February 2013

If Dos Equis had a commercial for the most interesting Singaporean photographer alive, this would be John Clang. He’s one of those artists who continues to evolve. I love the way he thinks.
