Photos from 100 meters to 1mm

  • Oh man: Jason Lee makes me feel bad as a photographer, a Photoshopper, and a dad. He's posted some terrific images of his girls, many turned into photo illustrations. [Via Tobias Hoellrich]
  • Dimensions:
    • The 100-meter photo: To create We're All Gonna Die, Simon Hoegsberg set up shop in a single spot on Berlin's Warschauer Strasse, capturing 178 people in all. [Via Tony Patricelli]
    • In 1mm a day, Chris Hornbecker set himself a challenge: "Take a brand new photo each day. Beginning with 14mm, each day I zoom the lens by 1 millimeter and force myself to use that focal length to shoot and post a photo before going to sleep that night." [Via]
  • Shimon Attie projects images from the past (e.g. from Berlin's pre-WWII Jewish quarter) onto the current versions of those scenes, then photographs the results.
  • Hot avian action:

I'm not sure but if paragraph 11 is right, we've been photoshoped.

These in the summer in Odessa saw a bird a seagull with obviously expressed bilateral asymmetry. It is a pity, that I did not have a camera.
