Mike Brodie's freight train photographs: 'It's a romantic life, at least in the spring and summer'
Going off on an adventure across the country like Huck Finn is a very American thing to do," says Mike Brodie, who did just that on a whim in 2003, aged 18. Unlike many of the young drifters he rode trains with back then, Brodie took his camera along and the p hotographs he took have finally been distilled into a book, A Period of Juvenile Prosperity, just published by the American fine art photography imprint, Twin Palms.

Simon Roberts' best photograph: the London 2012 Olympics from above
Throughout the recession, I had been photographing the English landscape, exploring how it fitted with ideas of national character.

My pitch to the International Olympic Committee was to do something a bit different for the London Games: to stand back, to always have an elevated view, and to gain more of a perspective. I was the only "art photographer" to be granted access. These events are usually recorded close-up: you can spot the sports photographers with their big lenses in this picture. The logistics were exhausting: I had to get to places that aren't normally available to photographers.

Living on the shore of Lake Ontario, just east of Toronto, photographer Matt Molloy has daily encounters with brilliant sunsets and cloudscapes that he’s been photographing for over three years. One day he began experimenting with time-lapse sequences by taking hundreds of images as the sun set and the clouds moved through the sky.

Amazing Fire Photography by Tom Lacoste (with Interview)
Welcome to another cool and “dangerous” showcase! Our special guest today is Tom Lacoste, a very young French artist. He is not the kind of artist we are used to: first of all, he’s a juggler and then a photographer! That is pretty darn amazing and we are honored to ask Tom a few questions about the different aspects of his life.
