JUST behind the lense



Louis Daguerre - Boulevard du Temple (1838)- as this one is not big enough, if you google it and finder a larger image you will notice a boy cleaning somebodys shoes in the lower left hand side of the photo, this street was extremely busy, however because the exposure time was approximately 1 hour everybody was moving around so they were not captures and the only person that stayed in the same place was a man and the boy that was cleaning his shoes


Eadweard Muybridge - The Horse in Motion (1878)- he introduced motion photography and developed it to an extent where he lost his mind. he came up with the concept when he bet somebody 5 pounds that a horses hooves leave the ground all at once whilst it is running. however on the first attempt he failed, the photograph was to blurred because of the lack of skill and technology, after a few years somebody hired him to re try and through 50 cameras lined up in a row capturing a photograph that if played looked like a moving image he introduced motion picture and made it his trademark.



Christian Spurling - Loch Ness Monster (1934)- yet another picture that somebody try to prove to be the loch ness monster, captured  nearer to dark and opted to publish it to become a sensation around the world, however after speculation and investigation it emerged that it was in fact something plastic floating in the water and together with a reflection and waves it caused this image.




Robert Capa - Death of a Loyalist Soldier (1936)- he was known as the great war photographer, but when he captured this soldier falling he became a sensation. he had captured the irony of a harmful bullet with such a graceful fall. the bullet had just hit him and he hadnt even let go of his rifle. 




Eddie Adams - Execution of a Viet Cong Guerrilla (1968)- i was lucky enough to see this photograph in large. this was captured in the vietnam war, and as you can tell from the photo you can understand how close the photographer is. however this wasnt just any photo, the photographer captured the bullet penetrating the mans head, if you can find a bigger image you can see half the bullet oitside his head and half in.




Kevin Carter - Vulture & Child (1993)- 3 months later he committed suicide. this photo caused an uproar around the world. it shows a 2 year old child walking to the base where food was available about 2 miles away. a volcher is standing on guard waiting for the baby to die so it can eat it. however this was not the uproar, many complained why the photographer didnt help the child. instead Kevin Carter took the photo waited for the volcher to leave and left. this image left with him and he committed suicide afterwards. nobody knows if this child lived or died.


i thought id give an insight into some influential images that i had studied when i was studying photography, i found the images on another bloggers sight laughing1wolf. i hope you enjoy the detailed descriptions.

JUST CURIOUS

i can do themes, because i agree with themes, however every so often its nice to get a bit wild, dnt have a page with one theme and one interesting point of the day or week, so here is a collection of wat i think is slightly interesting but completely not related






http://www.donothingfor2minutes.com/

how i enjoy ideas mudled (i dnt know if its spelt like that) into 1.

1.  so paris haute couture kicked off, and Galliano designed to impress, big lashes, red lipstick and carefully tailored designs to give the epitomy of femininity.

2. what can come out of a flying sourcer, ask Armani Prive, capturing straight lines and modern dress he sculpted this beautiful hats.

3. i came across this website (the link under the photos)  in the evening standard, oh how i enjoy the only thing i read, anyway, u stare at a screen for 2 minutes, u cant touch ure computer if you do u fail, and its trying to test how people are addicted to computers these days and cant stop playing around, the pathetic thing is the only way to access this is through ure computer so ironically the website backfires on itself.

JUST FOR CORINNE, LOUBIIISSS







Louboutin gained his inspiration from the showgirls he use to watch at the Paris Nightclubs, and what an inspiration it was.
i myself am not a luxury goods kinda gal but when i get my first paycheck this is where it's going.
These are all from his SS11 collection although the last shoe wasn't shown on the catwalk its one of my favourites; athletic and completely wow, and ecotrash; only he can combine leopard/reptile skin/red and bright green and make it work, keep on walking.
