20 Historic Black and White Photos Colorized
One of the greatest facets of reddit are the thriving subreddits, niche communities of people who share a passion for a specific topic. One of the Sifter’s personal favourites is r/ColorizedHistory. The major contributors are a mix of professional and amateur colorizers that bring historic photos to life through color. All of them are highly skilled digital artists that use a combination of historical reference material and a natural eye for colour. When we see old photos in black and white, we sometimes forget that life back then was experienced in the same vibrant colours that surround us today. Below you will find a collection of some of the highest rated colorized images to date on r/ColorizedHistory. I’ve also provide a list of some of the top contributors (in no particular order): - zuzahin aka Mads Madsen [website, facebook] – mygrapefruit aka Sanna Dullaway [website, facebook] – klassixx aka Dana Keller [facebook page] – photojacker aka Jordan J. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Partez à la découverte de ces villes flambant neuves abandonnées dans toute la Chine
Il existe en Chine une multitude de villes complètement neuves qui n’ont presque jamais été habitées. Des villes fantômes qu’on peut trouver aux quatre coins du pays et qui ne sont habitées en général que par quelques milliers de personnes au maximum. DGS vous emmène à la découverte de ces villes dépeuplées où la nature commence petit à petit à reprendre ses droits. Kangbashi New Area Le quartier de Kangbashi New Area est en réalité une ville-nouvelle construite suite à une forte expansion économique de la ville-préfecture d’Ordos, située dans la région de Mongolie-Intérieure au Nord du pays. New South China Mall C’est le plus grand centre commercial du monde, situé à Donggang, dans la province du Guangdong… Seulement environ 1% du complexe commercial est occupé par des marchands ou autres vendeurs. Chenggong Beichuan La ville de Beichuan est un peu différente des autres villes puisqu’elle a été détruite et laissée à l’abandon après le séisme meurtrier de la région du Sichuan en 2008.
New York City In Color: The Photography Of Sally Davies | Michael Ernest Sweet
Color street photography has been around New York City since the very beginning - of color photography, I mean. Early proponents were people like Saul Leiter, Helen Levitt and Joel Meyerowitz. Sally Davies has been carrying on this tradition since the 80's here in New York City. Her work is vivid, fresh, and engaging. Michael Sweet: Who is Sally Davies? Sally Davies: I spent the first 7 years of my life growing up in rural Midwest Canada, in an existential crisis. Walking the 2 miles to school, in 35 below zero every day, I wondered how far I would get if I made a run for it. Somewhere around my 12th birthday I had the revelation that no one was like anyone. Michael: How did you get involved in photography? Sally: My father gave me a camera when I was 15. I loved it right from the start. Michael: Photography has and in many ways still is dominated by men, how have you found this aspect of the photography world? Michael: Why storefronts? Sally: A person in a photograph changes everything.
exploration urbaine - blanchisserie de la mouche
Techniques d’exploration : levez-vous aux aurores. Frissonnez dans la fraîcheur de ce matin d'automne. Encore mal réveillé, escaladez une barrière inamicale. Blanchisserie est à prendre au sens ancien d’usine de blanchiment et de teinture de fils et de tissus. Aussi surprenant que cela puisse paraître, la blanchisserie de la mouche est étroitement liée à la révolution espagnole de septembre 1868 qui obligea la reine Isabelle II à quitter son trône et s’exiler à Paris. Le 19 juillet 1870, la France déclara la guerre à la Prusse. 6 mois plus tard, balayée, écrasée, l’armée française impériale de Napoléon III capitula. Afin de compenser la perte des usines textiles très présentes en Alsace, la troisième république décida la création de nouvelles blanchisseries.

Photographer of the Day: Flavio Scorsato Shows Us the Way to “Slab City”
When photographer Flavio Scorsato arrived at Slab City, he was conscious about keeping his expectations in check. In a place known as The Last Free Place in America, there is certainly the question of invading the privacies of the residents known to exist “off-the-grid” without telephone lines, electricity, internet connectivity and other utilities. “When I frist arrived in Slab City with the idea of documenting the place, I didn’t know how people would feel about being approached by a stranger asking for taking pictures of their homes and getting into their lives” Scorsato tells Resource Magazine. A trailer where people live © Flavio Scorsato One of the 3 brothers that moved out from Pennsylvania about one year ago, to experiment a life of freedom. Located 50 miles north of the Mexican border, cocooned deep in the California desert, the residents of Slab City are made up of hundreds of campers, mostly travelers, homeless and retirees. © Flavio Scorsato Paul © Flavio Scorsato

Henry Hargreaves's Photos of What Famous Musicians Eat Backstage
A rider is a contractual proviso that outlines a series of stipulations or requests between at least two parties. While they can be attached to leases and other legal documents, they’re most famously used by musicians or bands to outline how they need their equipment to be set up and arranged, how they like their dressing room organized, and what types of food and beverages they require. Anyone who’s seen Spinal Tap knows these requests can be extremely outrageous and unreasonable. (And, in the case of Iggy Pop's, unexpectedly hilarious.) I was inspired to create this series after reviewing a few riders from some of the biggest acts in the world, all of which were ridiculous. But what I found most interesting about them is that they offered a glimpse into their larger-than-life personalities. I initially thought I would try and shoot all of the items listed on the catering riders but quickly realized that this would become an exercise in wasting money.
