Flickr user Sirkullay/Una Feral just uploaded a set with a derailed circus train’s worth of vintage tattooed lady photos. Enjoy! Once again the Library of Congress has delivered a death touch of awesome to Flickr’s Commons. This time it’s 700 tintype and ambrotype portraits of civil war soldiers, many of whom have awesome beards (and, tragically, all too many who were too young to even grow one). These are all from the Liljenquist [...] 818 photographs of the New York Jazz scene, 1938-1948, courtesy of photographer Down Beat magazine photographer William P. Gottlieb, via the Library of Congress. There’s a total of 1600 in the archive, and they’re adding more to Flickr each month, so if this tunes your piano, keep checking back for more. Everyone is [...] I don’t know why, but I’m particularly moved by the immediacy of history by the above object. You can almost feel the bodily presence of the people who built it and lived with it. Flickr user and enviable world traveler Sebastià Giralt took the shot, which is (typically) way better than the shot [...] The Smithsonian Institution joined Flickr’s Commons last week, and of immediate note to me was their 91 image collection of images of artists. Most of these artists I’m not familiar with, such as William Morris Hunt, seen above. Some, like Winslow Homer, John Singer Sargent or George Inness are familiar. There’s a real [...] Sorry about the pun-title. I feel a need to share my fascination with military architecture (largely based upon my desire to live within a heavily armed bunker) with anyone passing by today. WebUrbanist has a post, Creatively Converted Sea Forts of Great Britain: Strange Adaptive Reuse of Military Architecture, that’s must reading for [...] If the Getty Research Institute gallery is the best small, academic space I know of, the Theater Gallery Berkeley Art Museum comes in a close second. Maybe it’s just luck, but whenever I’m up in the Bay Area there seems to be something on display, in what is basically a hallway (midway down the [...] Flickr is still screwed up, but I managed to log in using Opera. Still frustrating, since I’m writing this post in ScribeFire, which is in Firefox. But doable. My last day (for a while, at least) of posting daily pictures from PhotosNormandie. I’m back in school full time as of yesterday, and I’m also [...] Upon finding the above in the PhotosNormandie stream, I really had no idea how to characterize it, only that it’s stupid, funny and sad. The people in this photo are from both the British military and the American military. The caricatures on the bomb were drawn by Tex Avery. It has a long [...] I think I’m going to keep posting images from PhotosNormandie through the weekend. I just keep finding so much good stuff, again, in threes. Above – The icon of the enemy. Shattered, like Hitler’s dream of dominion over Europe. PhotosNormandie caption - Un soldat décroche un portrait lacéré de Hitler. Above – [...] |
