PHTHRD II

"I went around asking all of you what your Grandmother or Grandfather's best advice was, and then I wrote it underneath your portraits. Surprisingly varied, very interesting, together they form a weird little story themselves. A few examples: Eat the fish eye… Use a condom… Drink with your pinky up… Plastic is the wave of the future…

As the piece moves down, you can see people's outfits and shoes. Forming complete individuals."

PHTHRD in NYC invites three artists to tell a story using hundreds of Polaroid pictures to craft a mosaic narrative. This will happen LIVE in Brooklyn on Tuesday March 25. That means you watch them do it and you get to be in the pictures.

Jonathan Harris, Joseph O. Holmes, and Elizabeth Weinberg will compete in PHTHRD II on Tuesday March 25.

PHTHRD
The first PHTHRD paired 5 teams of photographers and stylists, giving them one evening to shoot 3 creative briefs using a live audience of LVHRD members. Resulting photos were placed online for public voting, with an international audience declaring Alison Grippo the winner.

Behind the scenes of Ansel Adams' Yosemite

The New York Times has a behind-the-scenes look at some of Ansel’s most striking Yosemite photographs. Narrated by his assistant Andrea Stillman, this AV slide show offers a rare look into the methods of one of the greats.
The first two photos and their accompanying voice over offer an immediate insight to his love for Yosemite, a passion that married well with his amazing photographic skill:
When we flew across the country together, he would look out the airplane window and he could name every single peak in the Sierra. He had the landscape of the Sierras in his bones.
as well as the artistic caveats he made for himself in order to portray this beautiful, public land in a way that was totally his own. His Yosemite looks like it’s own world:
Adams shot in black in white to accomplish what he called a “departure from reality,” shooting in color meant that his audience would expect the image to mirror nature exactly.
