High-Dynamic-Range Photography creates stunning photos by combining three or more photos of the same subject that were all exposed differently (often a normal exposure with a half-stop up and another with a half-stop down). Photos taken in Yellowstone NP; Rocky Mountain NP; and Cripple Creek, CO. Made in iMovie '08. Enjoy.

Photography © The Estate of Francesca Woodman http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francesca_Woodman American photographer Francesca Woodman (1958-1981) is best known for black-and-white pictures of herself and of female models. Many of her photographs show young women, blurred (due to movement and long exposure times), merging with their surroundings, or with their faces obscured. Years after her suicide at the age of 22, her photographic works became the subject of much attention, including many exhibitions and books. She was born April 3, 1958, in Denver, Colorado, to well-known artists George Woodman (ceramicist, painter, and photographer) and Betty Woodman Beginning in 1975, Woodman attended the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) in Providence, Rhode Island. She studied in Rome, Italy between 1977 and 1978 in a RISD honors program. As she spoke fluent Italian, she was able to befriend Italian intellectuals and artists. She went back to Rhode Island in late 1978 to graduate from RISD. Woodman moved to New York City in 1979. After spending summer 1979 in Stanwood, Washington, she returned to New York. There, "to make a career in photography" she sent portfolios of her work to fashion photographers, but "her solicitations did not lead anywhere." In summer 1980 she was an artist-in-residence at the MacDowell Colony in Peterborough, New Hampshire. In late 1980 Woodman became depressed due to her work and to a broken relationship. On January 19, 1981, she committed suicide by jumping out a loft window in New York. An acquaintance wrote "things had been bad, there had been therapy, things had gotten better, guard had been let down." Although Woodman used different cameras and film formats during her career, most of her photographs were taken with a Yashica camera producing 2-1/4 by 2-1/4 inch square negatives that her father had given her. Woodman created at least 10,000 negatives which her parents now keep. Woodman's estate, which is represented by the Marian Goodman Gallery in New York, consists of over 800 prints of which "only around 120 images have ever been published or exhibited.". Many of Woodman's images are untitled and are known only by a location and date. -------------------------- Music- Vai Vedrai (go, you'll see) by Cirque du Soleil.

Photography © The Estate of Robert Doisneau Robert Doisneau (1912-1994) is one of France's most noted photographers. He characterised himself as a "fisherman of images", wandering without a particular purpose along the streets of the city, his baited camera ready for action. "I like the idea that things are not controlled, that I can encounter something by chance." He wrote: "The marvels of daily life are exciting; no movie director can arrange the unexpected that you find in the street." Born to a working-class family in Gentilly, in the banlieu of Paris, his early surroundings--factories, shacks, slums, an array of workers, gypsies, beggars and day laborers--gave him a lasting awareness of the memory of place. A place, needless to say, far removed from that which Paris usually evoked. He began studying lithography at the age of 13. In 1929, he took his drafting skills to Paris where he worked as a lettering artist for a graphic arts studio, the Atelier Ullman, and began studying painting and drawing. Moved by a desire to record the images of Paris and the banlieu, the water coursing through the gutters, the masses of humanity, he borrowed a camera and found himself. Doisneau was exposed to photography in the advertising department of a pharmaceutical firm. Outside of his job, he began to see photography as a medium for at first a hobby--recording every day life during his wanderings through the streets of Paris. He sold his first photo-story to the Excelsior newspaper in 1932. He was a camera assistant to the sculptor Andrei Vigneaux and did military service prior to taking a job as an industrial and advertising photographer for the Renault auto factory at Billancourt in 1934. He was fired in 1939 and was forced to try freelance advertising and postcard photography to earn his living. Doisneau was hired by the Rapho photo agency in 1939 and worked there for several months until the inset of World War II. He was a member of the Resistance both as a soldier and as a photographer. He used his engraving skills to forge passports and identification papers. He photographed the Occupation and Liberation of Paris. Some of these images, especially of the liberation of Paris are photographic masterpices. Some of Doisneau's most remembered photographs were taken in the post-war era. He returned to freelance work and sold photographs to Life and other important international magazines. He joined the Alliance photo agency for a short time and began working with Rapho again in 1946. Against his better judgement Doisneau did high-society and fashion photography for Paris Vogue from 1948 to 1951. During his assignments with Vogue, the photographer became acquainted with high-society circles, for which, however, he did not have as much sympathy as he did for the common people in the streets. Perhaps his most famous photograph is Le baiser de l'hôtel de ville ("Kiss by the Hotel de Ville") http://www.masters-of-photography.com/images/full/doisneau/doisneau_kiss.jpg A photo of a couple kissing in the busy streets of Paris. Who the couple were was a mystery until in 1993 Denise and Jean-Louis Lavergne took him to court for taking the picture without their knowledge. This action forced Doisneau to admit that he actually posed the shot in 1950 using actor/models Françoise Bornet and her then boyfriend Jacques Carteaud. Françoise was given an original print as part of her payment. In April 2005 she sold the print for 155,000 € at an auction. He has photographed many noted artists including Giacometti, Cocteau, Leger, Braque, and Picasso. Doisneau writes of his photography, "In fact there isn't any recipe - that would be too easy - but all these images that are growing old so gracefully were taken instinctively. I put all my trust in intuition, which contributes so much more than rational thought. This is a commendable approach, because you need courage to be stupid - it's so rare these days when there are so many intelligent people all over the place who've stopped looking because they're so knowledgeable. Yet that little extra something supplied by the model is precisely a `look,' like a legacy handed down to you from the distant past. It shoots straight along the optical axis and bores right through the photographer, the celluloid, the paper, and the viewer, like a laser beam scorching everything in its path, including, and a very good thing too, your critical faculties." Doisneau was in many ways a shy and unassuming man, rather like his photography. He lived in the Paris suburb of Montrouge. He died in 1994. please, visit his website http://www.robertdoisneau.com/ ---------------------- Music -- Revoir Paris by Charles Trenet please, visit his official website http://www.charles-trenet.net/

"If your only interested in creating a likeness, you might think that all you have to do is take a photograph, but photographs really aren't likenesses at all. They both do and don't resemble their subjects. You might think that photographs depict things as they really are, but a camera doesn't create a real likeness." Nobuyoshi Araki Araki studied photography during his college years and then went to work at the advertising agency Dentsu, where he met his future wife, the essayist Yōko Araki (荒木陽子 Araki Yōko?). After they were married, Araki published a book of pictures of his wife taken during their honeymoon titled Sentimental Journey. She later died in 1990. Pictures taken during her last days were published in a book titled Winter Journey. Having published over 350 books (and still more every year) Araki is considered one of the most prolific artists alive or dead in Japan and around the world. Many of his photographs are erotic; some have been called pornographic. Some of his most popular photography books are Sentimental Journey, Tokyo Lucky Hole, and Shino. He also contributed photography to the Sunrise anime series Brain Powerd. The Icelandic musician Björk is an admirer of Araki's work, and served as one of his models. At her request he photographed the cover and inner sleeve pages of her 1997 remix album, Telegram. Araki's life and work were the subject of Travis Klose's 2005 documentary film Arakimentari. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobuyoshi_Araki Biography: Compiled by Akihito Yosumi for the publication "Kukei, Kinkei' (Laments: Skyscapes / From Close Range, 7 99 7; edited): http://www.designautopsy.com/araki/biography.html Search: http://www.artcyclopedia.com/artists/araki_nobuyoshi.html Official website: http://www.arakinobuyoshi.com/ Music: "China Girl" by Laurent Daumail (Dj Cam) http://www.discogs.com/release/861139 About DJ Cam: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DJ_Cam

Google Tech Talks May, 8 2008 ABSTRACT Big animals - if we learn to love them and understand their survival - we will do everything to protect them. Professional marine and wildlife photographer Amos Nachoum will show his photos of large animals from around the world, talk about the process of taking these photos, show the equipment he uses, and describe why we should care about and protect these animals. Check out a preview of some of his stunning wildlife photos: http://www.corp.google.com/~sethml/amos.nachoum/index.html This talk will be taped. Speaker: Amos Nachoum Professional Marine and Wildlife Photographer Amos Nachoum has led National Geographic expedition teams with Dr. Eugenie Clark, Dr. Sylvia Earle, astronaut Buzz Aldrin, and has co-produced documentaries with Stan Waterman. He was the team leader for National Geographic's Red Sea, Great White Shark, and November '96 Killer Whale photo expeditions. Mr. Nachoum's photos and essays have appeared in more than 500 publications in North America, Europe, and Japan, including National Geographic magazine, Ocean Realm, Island, Outside, Rodale's Scuba Diving, Time, Life, The New York Times, Condé Nast Traveler, Le Figaro, Terra Sauvage, Airone, and Mondo Somerso. Amos Nachoum - photographerIn addition, his work has been included in the books The Living Ocean, Oceans, and The World of Nature. He has been profiled in television appearances on National Geographic Explorer (Sept. '97), the Today Show, and Good Morning America, as well as in People, Esquire, and Money magazines. In 1988 he won Nikon's underwater photography contest and in 1993, the Communication Arts Award. He is currently an instructor on the Nikonos team of professional photographers and also conducts his own SLR and advanced u/w photo seminars. After spending three years circumnavigating the globe, Amos co-founded Israel's Marine National Park on the Red Sea. In 1978 he established La Mer Diving Seafari Inc, a New York-based adventure-travel company that brought North American divers to some of the most pristine and exotic underwater locations on the planet, from the Galapagos Islands to the Maldives, from Papua New Guinea to Madagascar and the Red Sea. In the course of directing these operations he has become an expert at working in partnership with foreign governments and companies to bring divers to some of the most beautiful and little-visited parts of the underwater realm, with preservation of the environment's integrity foremost in every encounter. Amos Nachoum - photographerSince 1992, Amos's efforts have been focused on professional commercial and editorial photography for such clients as the Israeli office of tourism, Saba Island, the governments of Australia, New Zealand, and Brazil, and large private clients ranging from Apple, IBM, and Microsoft to The Discovery Channel, Armani, the Walt Disney corporation, and Colombia Pictures. Arising from the belief that private individuals should have access to the same sights as governments and large corporations, Amos has developed the cutting-edge adventure-travel program Big Animals Photography Expeditions specifically to provide opportunities to observe, photograph, and interact with the most imposing inhabitants of the sea, such as great white sharks, killer whales, sperm and humpback whales, dolphins, and more. Only through such observation and interaction, Amos Nachoum believes, can people learn to truly understand and respect some of the most impressive citizens of our water planet.
