did stanley kubrick fake the moon landing?

July 30th, 2009 · 12 Comments

Probably not. But tell that to this guy.
Jay Weidner at Reality Sandwich compares the cinematic style of Stanley Kubrick’s work to the famous moon landing footage, and says he’s convinced beyond any doubt that Kubrick was enlisted to show up the Russians, NASA stole flying saucer technology from the Nazis, and JFK was assassinated […]

back in the 514 — and tunisia/lebanon photos

July 26th, 2009 · No Comments

So I got back to Montreal last Sunday and I’ve been a little delinquent in the posting department — both re: the posts from Lebanon that you’ve come to expect when I’m travelling, and re: the regular neat-o news and whatnot that you’ve come to expect when I’m home. I expect that next week […]

greek riots: best photojournalism i’ve seen in a long time

December 16th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Yesterday’s Boston Globe featured an unbelievable collection of photos of the ongoing anarchy in Athens. Nearly any one of these shots, if you took them, would be the best photo you’d ever take.
The riots were sparked by the police shooting of Alexis Grigoropoulos, a 15-year-old boy who was allegedly with other youths who threw […]

polaroid calls it quits

December 8th, 2008 · 3 Comments

I just read the news, and I gotta say, it made me a little bit sad. Polaroid has announced that it will no longer manufacture the gee-whiz insta-photo film that made it a household name.
Though it’s leaving the photography business, Polaroid will continue to make portable DVD players that you’ve never heard of, as […]

photographers’ galleries up and running!

September 2nd, 2008 · 2 Comments

For some time now, I’ve been meaning to host several photographers’ work on flickering pictures — sort of a gallery of galleries featuring great shots from all over. My own stuff has been up for months, but I can hardly tell my apertures from my f-stops and I’m nowhere near as good as these […]
