Eye of Science

Eye of Science combines the exacting images of microscopic images with the artistry of photography and color. Started by a biologist and a photographer, EOS captures amazing moments of cellular processes as well as microscopic structures and organisms. The images make you think twice about how well designed the world around us is, down to the smallest detail.

The Rolling Exhibition - Kevin Connolly

Kevin Connolly started a great photo project to document the expressions and reactions to his skating by them. The expressions capture such a range of emotions because Kevin was born without legs. Check out the Rolling Exhibition and a video short segment called "What Are You Looking At?" on People of the Web to learn more

Flickr Turns 4

Flickr turned 4 a few weeks ago and hosted a big show in their gallery space. They also encourage everyone to grab a few photos from the Flickr Turns 4 Photo Pool and put up a little gallery of your own.

If you are ever looking for some incredible photographs for your walls, Flickr is absolutely a great place to look. Print them out and frame them! And you can start adding them to your contacts to keep up with their work. I am waiting for camera companies to integrate gps into their cameras so that geotagging will become a bigger part of photography.

Dresser Johnson

While the Arrow Ring by Dresser Johnson is very cool, it's the photo set of the ring out in the world that I really love. Check out Steph Goralnick's flickr set here.

Nike Zoom TRE ads

Check out the Nike SB ads for the Zoom Tre, shot by John Humphries. I love the fisheye combined with the pixelated ceilings. I'd like to see the set they shot against here. I appreciate that Nike takes a little different stance on the ads by creating sets and combining graphics and photo. Their P-Rod commercial is a great example of their work.

File Magazine

File, an online magazine, shows an ever-expanding collection of photography. Their main collection is open to public submissions. It's an interesting mix of all sorts of moments, from the composed to the candid.

I especially like Laura Kicey's Construct, an ongoing project of architectural documentary photographs.

Brian Gaberman

How many photographers can say they had a part in 411? And Chomp on This shouldn't really count as comparison. Brian Gaberman is now behind the lens and building a beautiful portfolio of skate photos that go far beyond simply documenting a trick. In a field recently dominated by high-production videos, it's nice to see a single instant framed, lit, captured and printed.

We're heading to the Bronx for Thanksgiving and are taking Thursday and Friday off - enjoy the holiday weekend! Tell your mama's what you're thankful for!

M (13"x20") has an edition of 20 for $200 each. L (26"x40") has an edition of 2 for $2000 each. Art for everyone! The artists shown above: Dana Miller (left) and Jennifer Sanchez.

NASA - Great Images in NASA (GRIN)

GRIN aka Great Images in NASA, is the repository of the most important historical images of the US space program from its founding through today. The images above are of the Saturn V S-1C Stages in Michoud Assembly Facility (left) and The First Stages of Saturn IB in Final Assembly (right). The library of images is absolutely worth checking out and span the breadth of the NASA programs.

National Geographic - Wildlife Motion Detection Cameras

Ever wonder who is stealing the cheese out of the fridge? These Wildlife Motion Detection Cameras from National Geographic might solve that problem right quick. Triggered by heat and movement, both the 35-mm and digital models of these simplified all-weather cameras take multiple images to capture backyard wildlife. Equipped with a wide-angle lens with 60-degree field of view and two test modes, these cameras will run for 21 days of 24-hour operation before needing fresh batteries. NG makes both a digital (left) and 35mm (right) version for all your cheese-nabber needs. And they are incredibly affordable at $60-$70 each.

Design*Sponge Shop

Thanks so much to Grace Bonney for including us in January's Design*Sponge shop! It was truly an honor! This month sees new products from Amanda Kavanagh, Foxy and Winston, Laura Lienhard, Jon Setzen of Standard Motion and Geoff Wood. The lovely print above is from Foxy and Winston. As was the case last month, 100% of the proceeds from select items in the shop go towards the Design*Sponge scholarship.

Bill Sullivan - More Turns

More Turns, a series/installation by Bill Sullivan, a local NYC artist, showcases a part of our day that we rarely ever notice (or even try our hardest not to notice): people passing through the turnstiles in the subway.

Installed as a series of 6 larger than full-size images, the portraits become a window into the familiar, but re-presented in a striking and unfamiliar way. The photographs confront the viewer with the stare of the commuter in such a way to freeze both the subject and the viewer. Please take a minute to look at the website and see the individual expressions on the faces, amazing. We should all take such an interest in the everyday din of the city. Because in it we can find those fleeting moments of beauty.

Karen Walker

While Karen Walker's jewelry is all very nice, the images of the jewelry really steal the show. If you know who the photographer is, let me know!

UPDATE: The photographer is Derek Henderson and the stylist is Katie Lockhart. Thanks, Allebelle!
