Earth From Above Photography – Yann Arthus-Bertrand
November 10, 2008
Yann Arthus-Bertrand is a photographer from France. These photographs come from his ‘Earth From Above’ series. Bertrand is both an artist and an environmentalist. His aim is to inspire people to think globally about sustainable living. These images are powerful both in scale and in imagery, showing both the light side and the dark side of our surroundings here on Earth. (This series will be shown in NYC at the World Financial Center Plaza and along the Battery Park City Esplanade from May 1, 2009 to June 28, 2009. In 2010 it will travel to CA.)

Photography & Website

Website: We have a new one. Please come have a look! www.phillipsgarden.com
Photography: These might be the funniest, most likable photos we’ve seen in a long time done by the London based artist Slinkachu. Slinkachu has spent the last several years photographing tiny hand-painted figurines all around London. These pictures deal with space and scale in a lighthearted way. Images are generally a long shot (from a more typical human viewpoint) to a tight small shot where one finds the figurines doing their thang. Slinkachu has a great blog as well. Check it out. A sampling of the photography is below.
