Yesterday, we featured the work of the photographer Richard Mosse, whose series “Breach” documents U.S. soldiers living in Saddam Hussein’s former palaces. Today, Mosse’s striking new series “The Fall” opens at the Jack Shainman Gallery in New York City. It’s a collection of plane wrecks from around the world, and it’s utterly breathtaking. You can see a few photos after the jump. Here’s the description from the Jack Shainman site:

In the Spring of 2009, the photographer Richard Mosse traveled to Iraq, where he captured arresting images of U.S. soldiers working and living in what used to be palaces of Saddam Hussein. These visions of western soldiers at rest in imperial palaces are both intensely jarring and oddly playful, and they underscore the seemingly ineffable experience of downtime during a military occupation. The transformation of an imperial palace into a site of temporary housing also speaks to…

Earlier this year, we started running new collections of photos from prominent and up-and-coming photographers who are exploring the world in interesting ways. We call them Picture Shows, and each Wednesday we feature a new artist’s work. So far we’ve run 37 of these Picture Shows, which have offered visual explorations on a range of topics: the closing of a GM plant in Ohio, the contents of strangers’ refrigerators, and the way of life in…

As the home of the infamous drug lord Pablo Escobar, the city of Medellín, Colombia, used to be one of the most violent places in the world. Today, the cells and grounds of its Bellavista prison are largely populated with people who grew up in and around the city. It’s an intimidating place, to say the least, yet as is evident in the images of Vance Jacobs’s photographic series “Colombian Prison: A View from the…

The original premise of the activity was simple, it was basically just to recruit Guangzhou residents who support Chen Yang, an outspoken Guangzhou CCTV news anchor who is not afraid to say what’s on his mind. However, the activity has evolved into a collective expression of love that everyone in the city can participate in, this is “Guangzhou Supports You! 2.0.”

Thomas Herbrich is a skilled manipulator, primarily of photography but recently he has turned his hand to tweaking history as well. His recent book The Truth About the Moon is a fictional account of a faked landing, told realistically and with the use of actual (but manipulated) photos. He also works with smoke, model making and sausages.

1. Read an old book and discover great things about life. Some of it teaches lessons so deep it hurts. Read a post I wrote about the book “Necessary Losses” by Judith Viorst. Inside contains 5 great anecdotes about the pain of losing self, someone or something.

2. Watch a great short film. Coherent and fierce yet amusing web video about how a boring office life could get complicated when you discover a black hole.

I came across etling.com through GOOD magazine’s website and
loved the photos, his “style” (for lack of better photography lingo?)
is very interesting; and some of the photos are just fun to look at; like the
birds on the tree trunks, super fun.  I have recently (very recently)
taken up photography as my new hobby. I don’t have a camera, but I do have a
camera-phone and I am snapping away. I share some of them through facebook’s
mobile uploads. I…
