There were a lot of great photographs at Boooom website, but one artist struck my attention more than others. Fantastic Timeslices by Photographer Dan Marker-Moore were amazing. He made collages of photographs taken from the same location and showed the moon shifting towards the sky. It also kind of reminded me of our most recent timelaps project, how we also did the same thing by taking 30 frames per second to create a video effect through photographs. Such a creative way of photographing the skyline of New York.

Rainbow Gathering Quebec 2012
By Benoit Paille

I really enjoyed the sky pictures captured by Benoit Paille, and amazed by the fact that how well he captured the stars on the sky by using 30 seconds of exposure. The tree leafs surrounding the skyline with hot red bursting colors draws you in to the picture. I just love the combination of the skyline with the nature. I would like to try taking shots like that as well.

Urbanautica Review 10/16

The website had several sections and categories to look at, and Cars section grabbed my attention as I like the urban, old school looking cars. The nostalgia through the pictures took me back in time and reminded me European looking cars from back home. I enjoyed Hana Miletic's and Douglas Ljungkvist's vintage car photography as well as the very interesting inside the car shots that were involved in severe accidents photographed by Nicolai Howalt.

Aperture Article 10/9

#FF: 13 Aperture Summer Open Photographers on Instagram

http://www.aperture.org/blog/ff-13-aperture-summer-open-photographers-follow/

The article talks about Aperture welcoming the public to their very first Summer Open exhibition. Works by a wider group of photographers were shown at the exhibition to take the temperature of contemporary photography practice. I liked this article because it gave you user names of artists from Instagram, where I do spend quite a bit time looking at all different kind of pictures. The photographs ranged from different varieties and some of them really got my interest. I will be following some of the artist from my Instagram account so that I can keep up with their new posts.

NY Times Art & Design Review 10/2

Shadows Return to Ellis Island
JR Brings Ellis Island's Abandoned Hospital to Life
By Melena Ryzik

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/25/arts/design/jr-brings-ellis-islands-abandoned-hospital-to-life.html?ref=design


The article is about an art project in the abandoned Ellis Island immigrant hospital named "Unframed-Ellis Island" by the French artist JR. It is a large scale street portraiture project where he used the actual immigrant pictures taken at the hospital 100 or so year ago and implemented and installed them to the hospitals abandoned walls, windows, doors and hallways. His idea is to respect the architecture and bring those memories back. I've picked this article because it captured my attention since I've always wanted to visit Ellis Island, and now through the pictures I've seen from the gallery, I feel the urge to go visit more than ever! The images were fascinating, but at the same time some were creepy and cold, gave me goose bumps. I've definitely put down this abandoned hospital on my bucket list to live in the moment of back in those days while I'm visiting. It was a really interesting article, and I was amazed by the artist's creative approach.

Artist JR used the real picture of the doctors on the wall. Photo credit goes to Joshua Bright from The NY Times. 

Conscientious Article Review

A Conversation with Bahar Habibi

http://cphmag.com/conv-bahar-habibi/

By Jörg Colberg

The article was a brief interview with an artist from Iran, Bahar Habibi, who was one of the winner of last years Conscientious Portfolio Competition. I've picked this article because her name grabbed my attention as it is also a name we have in Turkey, and as I read through the interview, I sympathized with her when she says she felt like an outsider with lots of memories, familiarities, and friends going back to her country and taking pictures. The nostalgia in her photographs and the way she shared her feelings openly as the interviewer asked, was really engaging and interesting. 

Lenscratch Review

Laura Stevens: Another November

By Aline Smithson

http://lenscratch.com/2014/09/laura-stevens-another-november/

The reason why I selected this specific article is because of the title. I was born in November, so seeing the title as "Another November" pulled me into the article. The article is a review about photographer Laura Stevens work, series of staged portraits to reflect the pain and loneliness of ending a relationship. I like how well she portrayed the emotions in the photographs as it gives you a feeling of melancholy with the crestfallen alone woman in each picture. What I've read and saw were definitely interesting, but depressing a bit too.

Glasstire Review

Splendid Esplanades 

By Bill Davenport 

http://glasstire.com/2014/08/13/splendid-esplanades/

I've picked this specific article because the picture grabbed my attention. I love re-sized objects and the picture of two giant folded chairs was what got me into the article. The article was about True North, sculptures displayed by different artists as an inaugural show along the Heights Boulevard esplanade in Houston, TX. I loved the fact that these sculptures were placed along the streets and people can come see, take pictures without even needing to pay for it. Amazing re-sized sculptures. I wish I could go down there and see them with my own eyes!
