So... Are we done then? or are there more posts coming?

Longest Pinhole Exposure


It was captured by the German artist Michael Wesely, who worked with New York's Museum of Modern Art to photograph the destruction (and subsequent construction) of their building. The shots are ever so ghostly. <3

Lewis Carroll

Lewis Carroll is known mainly for his book Alice in Wonderland. He was an amateur photographer as well. He did landscapes, architecture and portraits. Most of the portraits were of little girls either nude or wearing little to no clothing. He was frowned upon by those around him. The little girl in the picture, is Alice. Carroll was in love with her and even asked to marry her. Alice's family hated him and thus to apologize wrote Alice in wonderland. She was only 5 when they met.

After 17 years the photographer got to meet up with the Afghan girl once more. Her name is Sharbat Gula and you can read more about her here: http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2002/04/afghan-girl/index-text

It's a really amazing story. She's been through a lot since the photograph was taken and you can see it in here face, here face is sunken in and her skin looks rough from wind and sand.

im sorry.. i like nudes




The World's Top Photographers: Nudes: And the Stories Behind Their Greatest Images (The World's Top Photographers) (Hardcover)
By: Anthony LaSacala (Author)



I want to get this book! Its 35 dollars.

For anyone who admires the human form, The World's Top Photographers: Nudes presents a stunning collection of photography.



The naked body is perhaps the most popular subject in the history of photography. This book features the work of such eminent practitioners as Bob Carlos Clarke, Bettina Rheims, Ralph Gibson, David Penprase and Kenro Izu, alongside their personal anecdotes and professional tips and secrets.
Nudes will appeal both to the professional and to the amateur photographer who wishes to learn from the best in the field, to celebrity buffs and glossy coffee table literature collectors, as well as to the many satisfied readers of the previous three titles in the series, Landscape, and Wildlife, both by Terry Hope, and Portraits by Fergus Greer.

Daguerreotype was number one on "10 Most Expensive Digital Cameras Ever Made",



As far as film cameras is concerned, the most expensive one is the oldest camera in the world made in 1839 by a French master Susse Freres. In 2007 it was sold for $800.000. Of course, it’s not very comfortable to take such a gadget to a social gathering, but the fact that someone paid almost a million dollars for it…
