John Rosenthal

John Rosenthal is a photographer I happened to StumbleUpon. His site labels him as a "black and white photographer" but he is certainly not limited to that. His series of the Ninth Ward in New Orleans is touching and the images are so well cared for. His use of color is so honest and touching in these images. Through the generally muted tones of destroyed homes and schools, there's still color, there's still life. I love photos like these, of places destroyed and/or forgotten. They contain such important pieces of the past, even if this is how they will be remembered. He also writes, and has a really nice piece about his experience photographing the Ninth Ward.
Rosenthal's black and white work is also really beautiful, reminiscent of Bresson and Frank, really classic, honest work.

His website doesn't enable image saving, but it's not that hard to click on the link if you want to look at it. Meola uses color beautifully in his work, along with shapes and patterns. He also has really nice photojournalism work with lovely portraits.

Angelo on the Roof, 1979 David Lebe
I found this photo on Tumblr and it's really striking to me. Drawing and painting with light in photos is something I really like doing and I think is a really effective use of the medium. The way different light sources work together is really cool and creates a really interesting effect.

Naoko Ito
Really cool 3-D artist, I particularly like this piece, it's very surreal, yet clearly very tangible.

Polaroid a Day

Super intense tutorial on the inner workings of a Digital Camera.

I've been following Katie on tumblr for a while and her work never fails to impress me. As a self-portrait photographer, she puts herself in a vulnerable place; that vulnerability is something that enhances, without necessarily dominating, the feelings her work conveys. She also posts a lot of "journal-like" entries about work that inspires her work and writes about a lot of other photographers, full of great links and images.

Really fun images, full of cool lighting.

The Ones We Love

This project is a really neat collection of photographers. It's such a simple theme, and even when shown as a mass, the separate stories flow together well.

really really awesome.

Jaqueline Vanek

Another image by Vanek, from her Dreams series. On first glance, I was automatically drawn to the color, and the balance of it. The contrasting red is almost terrifying next to the blue. The strangeness of the image overall is also very fascinating, nearly sublime. I really like the imagery and symbolism of clocks, and the use of it as a cohesive theme in this body.

This image is from Vanek's series entitled My Sweet Hell. This image is my favorite of those, largely for the emotion and the passion depicted here. The use of the light and shadows with the basic background and subject is handled very well. These images are all very surreal, this one is more subtly so, with the arm creeping out from behind the subject.
