Alice In Waterland: Elena Kalis Takes Stunning Underwater Photos Inspired By 'Alice's Adventures In Wonderland'
'Alice in Waterland' is a beautiful series of photographs re-imagining the Lewis Carroll classic underwater. It's a creation of photographer Elena Kalis, who lives on a small island in The Bahamas, surrounded, she says, "by pristine clear warm water. Underwater is where I spend a lot of time; snorkeling, diving, photographing. "I often feel like I am in another dimension, just like Alice who found herself in a strange place when she fall into the rabbit hole one warm afternoon. For a model, Kalis chose her ten-year-old daughter Sacha, who was "the same age as Carroll's Alice. "I had to keep shootings short and fun so it took about two years to capture a collection of images for this project, although I can’t say that it is finished even now.

Russia in color, a century ago
With images from southern and central Russia in the news lately due to extensive wildfires, I thought it would be interesting to look back in time with this extraordinary collection of color photographs taken between 1909 and 1912. In those years, photographer Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii (1863-1944) undertook a photographic survey of the Russian Empire with the support of Tsar Nicholas II. He used a specialized camera to capture three black and white images in fairly quick succession, using red, green and blue filters, allowing them to later be recombined and projected with filtered lanterns to show near true color images. The high quality of the images, combined with the bright colors, make it difficult for viewers to believe that they are looking 100 years back in time - when these photographs were taken, neither the Russian Revolution nor World War I had yet begun.

The Best Street Photographer You've Never Heard Of
Vivian Maier/John Maloof Collection IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO TAKE measure of Vivian Maier's photos without taking stock of her story. She was by all accounts remarkably private, someone who didn't always enjoy the company of other adults. And yet her photographs feel like a celebration of people—a celebration of what Studs Terkel, the late grand oral historian, liked to call "the etceteras" of the world. In the winter of 2007, John Maloof, a 26-year-old realtor who was co-writing a book on his Portage Park neighborhood of Chicago, stumbled upon a box of negatives at an auction house. Maloof posted 100 of Maier's photos to a blog, but when that didn't generate much interest, he posted on Flickr. Maloof learned that Vivian Maier had made her living as a nanny, first in New York City, then from the late 1950s until the late 1990s for well-to-do families in the Chicago area. She never exhibited her work. Not long ago, I stopped by to visit Maloof at his home.
Amazing Macro Shots of Dew-Soaked Dandelions
UK-based photographer Sharon Johnstone uses her macro lens like a key to open the fascinating world of little things. She comes back with a beautiful collection of macro photographs showing tiny drops of dew on dandelions. “With macro photography I escape to another little world. I love exploring the tiny details in nature that often get over looked. I love finding beautiful colours and abstract compositions within nature and can even get passionate about photographing moss or a blade of grass. I think I am at my happiest when I am crawling around on my hands and knees exploring a small patch of moss dripping with sparkling dew in the early morning sun.” Her macro photography equipment includes a Canon EOS 7D digital SLR camera, Canon EFS 60mm f2.8 macro lens, Canon Macro Twin Lite MT-24EX flash, Canon Extension Tubes EF25 II and Lensbaby Composer Lens with macro kit.
