Our DIY forum isn’t a month old and we’ve already seen it fill with interesting projects. Some solve a problem, while others are pure fun. Decidedly in the latter category, dpreview forum member vkphoto has put a Sony NEX-F3 ‘digital back’ on a vintage ICA Toska camera from the early 1900s and a Carl Zeiss Tessar 135mm 1:6.3. See how he brought new life to an antique with a $ 15 modification. Learn more
Google again updates its Camera App, this time with self-timer, 16:9 aspect ratio and two more panorama modes. This addresses a point of criticism raised by users when an update in April removed the self-timer function. Other features that come with the new version of the app include wide angle and fisheye panorama options that are based on the Photo Sphere technology.
Ein Kind und ein Mann lachen auf den beiden Passbildern mit gleicher Pose in die Kamera. Sie tragen den gleichen Anzug, die gleiche Krawatte – ja, sogar die gleiche, etwas zu große Brille. Und sie sehen sich ähnlich. Aber es sind nicht Vater und Sohn, sondern es ist ein und dieselbe Person: Pancho aus Buenos Aires. Einmal 1983 und einmal 2010.
Er ziert das Cover des Buches „Back to The Future“* von Irina Werning. Das Projekt „Zurück in die Zukunft“ kennt Ihr vielleicht schon durch die Werbekampagne der Deutschen Bahn aus dem Jahr 2012.
Die argentinische Fotografin Irina ist neugierig und sie liebt alte Fotos. Sobald sie in einem Haus ist, geht sie auf die Suche danach. Und irgendwann begann sie, diese alten Bilder zusammen mit den darauf abgebildeten Menschen nachzustellen.
Sie analysiert die Fotos dafür nach dem Licht und der Technik und kopiert sie bis ins Detail genau. Selbst rotgeblitzte Augen und kleine Bildfehler fehlen auf den neuen Fotos nicht. Die Kleider kauft oder näht sie selbst, die Hintergründe sucht und baut sie nach.
Ihr Bildband zum Projekt ist im Verlag teNeues erschienen und es ist ein Buch, das Freude macht. Ich habe es selbst schon mehrere Male angesehen, bin immer wieder fasziniert und vergleiche voller Freude die Menschen von damals und heute. Diese Bilder sind so wunderbar komisch! Sobald ich Besuch bekomme, gebe ich es gleich in dessen Hände und es Folgt jedes Mal die gleiche Reaktion: Gelächter und Faszination.
Das Thema Älterwerden ist an sich ja eigentlich ein eher ernstes, aber dank Irina Werning bekommt man dazu einen völlig neuen Zugang. Interessant ist auch, dass sie Kinderbilder aus aller Welt nachstellt: Argentinien, Großbritannien, USA, Frankreich, Deutschland, Indien, Island, Ghana und einige mehr. Und so ist bereits den Ausgangsbildern durch ihre kulturellen und geschichtlichen Besonderheiten meine Aufmerksamkeit sicher.
Auf jeder Doppelseite des Buches ist links das Ausgangsbild und rechts das nachgestellte Foto zu sehen. Darunter sind klein der Vorname des oder der Abgebildeten, das Land und die beiden Jahreszahlen vermerkt. Ein sehr kurzes Vorwort der Fotografin geht den 160 Seiten vorraus. Es ist überall im Handel oder direkt beim Verlag teneues.com erhältlich.

In Alabama, it is illegal to carry an ice cream cone in your back pocket. But New York-based photographer Olivia Locher is a rule-breaker, and she’s got the photo series to prove it. In ‘I Fought the Law,’ Locher visually documents dozens of ridiculous laws from around the country, including some real head-scratchers that make you wonder how they ever got on the books in the first place.
In Utah, you’d better not walk down the street carrying a violin in a paper bag, and in California, riding a bicycle in a swimming pool is strictly prohibited. Pickles must bounce to be legally considered pickles in Connecticut, and in Hawaii, you can’t walk around with coins in your ears.
Kansas makes it illegal to serve wine in teacups, while Wisconsin won’t let you serve apple pie in public restaurants without cheese. In Oregon, you’re not allowed to test your physical endurance while driving a car on the highway. If you want to sell logs in Tennessee, they better not be hollow.
The photos highlight just how absurd and outdated these laws really are (though most of them are likely not enforced much anymore.) See the whole series (including some that are NSFW) at Olivia Locher’s website and tumblr.

We are back in Chile after a very successful and incredible adventure to Antarctica. The Luminous-Landscape team of Michael, Kevin and Chris as well William Neil lead a group of 63 photographers on a non-stop adventure. We had the most incredible weather making every day perfect for photography. We couldn’t have asked for a better group of participants and the Antarctica XXI Expedition team was absolutely the best. We are now working our way back north and to home over the coming days. Once we get our feet on the ground we will have a lot more about this trip as well as a lot of other news. There are only a few berths left for the second Antarctica Trip in 2015. After experiencing this this trip I would highly recommend that you sign up now as we are sure once we start publishing images and the trip log that these remaining spots will go fast.

CES 2014: After all of the meetings, hands-ons and reports were done, we spent a little time wandering the CES 2014 show floor, as we always do when time allows, and found a few interesting products on the side streets between the towering booths of major manufacturers. Many photo-focused products this year related to mobile in some way, standing beside an endless array of iCases, iKeyboards and iEverything else.
