Untitled-1“fred lebain is not scared of the mundane or clichés.
instead, he plays with them, superimposing their images on one another. last spring lebain
took images of various areas in new york city, each one of them an occasion of a ‘first visit’
to the location, in which he photographed and then printed in large poster format. later,
he returned to the same spots for a second visit, capturing a larger framed shot in which
he aligned the poster documenting his first visit to the current scene.”

Do chimps grieve?

chimp

Look at this photograph and just try to tell me the answer is no.

This incredible image was shot for National Geographic by Monica Szczupider, and shows chimpanzees at the Sanaga-Yong Chimpanzee Rescue Center in Cameroon. They’re observing as the body of an elder troop member named Dorothy is taken to burial. She died at 40 years of age, which is pretty old for a chimpanzee.

The photo appears in the November issue of National Geographic Magazine, in the “Visions of Earth” section.

Mummified Fairy

Filed under: Goals, Photography, misc. — cookla @ 6:30 pm

This fall, for Halloween, I was inspired to take on the project of creating my own mummified fairy. With the help of some online tips and a couple of weeks work, I got it finished tonight and feel pretty good about the results. After setting it up in a display case I snapped a few quick photos. I hope to have some better photos soon, but for now, enjoy! Click on the thumbnails for larger image.

Stage fright

Filed under: Photography, Uncategorized — cookla @ 7:21 pm

I really wish I had the motivation to write in this thing some more. I don’t know what it is that prvents me from opening this window and writing anything. I just consider it stage fright.

I really want to go out with someone and take pictures. Who am I friends with that likes taking photographs and has lots of free time? Contact me!

Mummy?

Just kind of liked the way this came out. It’s kind of weird and creepy. It was taken with my iPhone at the Metropoitan Museum of Art.
