Bill Sullivan developed a situation so that various subjects could be defined by the constraints of exactly the same mechanical apparatus. The scenario consisted of someone passing through a subway turnstile. At the moment that the subjects passed through the turnstile, unknown to them, he took their picture stationed at a distance of eleven feet. Bill stood there turning pages of a magazine observing subjects out of the corner of my eye, waiting for only the moment when they pushed the turnstile bar to release the shutter.
His images are fascinating and are inspiring. They encourage us to try something different and when we do it shows what can be achieved.
This is the first of a series of features I will be doing. They consist of my absolute favorite photography that i've collected since i've been a member of DeviantArt. This feature's focus is on SQUARES, give them some love
From the Publishers of "What Digital Camera" and "Amateur Photographer", IPC Media today has announced a new online photography magazine, "Better Digital Photography" that people can read free and fully online, it is also interactive with embedding video tutorials from the magazine and mouse-over tips. Aimed at the entry and intermediate level photographer, it is heavily devoted to equipment and technique-focused photography content.
From the IPC Media website: Publishing director Alex Robb says: This is an exciting and innovative new venture for the photo portfolio. The editorial team have worked incredibly hard to create bespoke content, including technique videos and other interactive content. I am delighted that we have secured distribution to around two million photographers to ensure that as many people as possible benefit from the excellent tips and advice. Better Digital Photography is a further indication of how IPC continues to innovate in this competitive sector.
Editor Mat Gallagher adds: We wanted to create a product that helps the reader expand their knowledge, while being easy to use. It is thanks to the talents of art editor Steve Crabb that we have managed to produce such a visually stimulating and accessible magazine that surpasses anything else in the market place.
My thoughts, this is downright awesome and VERY well done, it is like looking at an actual magazine, but the fact that it has videos embedded within for tips, tutorials, and techniques, make this even better! You can also subscribe for free, via email for upcoming issues, make personal notes within the magazine, and download a copy to your hard drive. GO GET IT!
Recently members of the =indiephotographyclub have been saying that the club is "loosing sight" of what is really indie photography. After a quick poll we found out it isn't really anything in particular, although a lot of people call it independent. Well heres a feature thats based around some peoples ideas of what defines indie art. In personal opinion, it will never be defined, but we try our hardest.
"something independent, alternative, with an unconventional taste."
"Like the bands i shoot, the treatment i give their photos would definitely be INDIE... scruffy, grungy, grubby, with the look of old expired films (retro) kind of like the bands picking up the sounds of the 60s-70s, the photos do likewise."
"It can't be defined, because it can be anything. But something alternative, unusual, untraditional."
"flat shoes, tights, electronica. hah. those are the first things that popped in my mind when someone mentions indie."
"Indie actually means Independent. Well, for me means self-esteem.It gives you the vibe of life, makes you fall in love of everything that's excentric, original, unique. Indeed, when I'm indie, I'm UNIQUE!"
"...An artistic creation without a major budget pretty much."
"Freedom, independence, doing what you see in your dreams"
"completely independent. not trying to please anyone but yourself."
"making art out of the everyday"
"Hmm. I would say unique perspectives -- both visually and conceptually. Playing with color and media -- gradients/gradient maps, layered photos/patterns, different film types, printing experimentation."
and heres some more of what we stand for:

Just from skimming down this page, it looks to me like indie photography consists of strange and wonderful things that are full of colour and don't entirely always make sense. Texture is important too.
Love indie photography. It's whatever is different, and strange, and beautiful. And i love the low budget comment
