Steph captured this great shot on the last day of Phoot Camp when most folks had gone home. Click through to see the names/URLs of everyone in the photo. (Hint: I’m at the top.)
I’ve been invited to Phoot Camp by Steph Goralnick
Phoot Camp is on! I’m hosting this invite-only photography retreat this weekend, and yes, I’m living in spreadsheetland between now and then.
Check out the official Phoot Camp website for photo fun, now and after the camp. Also want to thank Arlo/Artists for providing the website platform the site is built on.
Flickr’s gallery feature has in fact been a ton of fun for folks to play with. Here’s one of my favorites so far, a playfully vain gallery from Lomokev. Check out his other galleries too.
Untitled by Unknown (from the book Crooks Like Us by Peter Doyle)
Neat collection of Australian mugshots from the early 20th century, dug up by the blog A Time to Get. (via @overheardatmoo)
I love how this guy is just smiling with half of his face.
Bear Glacier, Alaska by GeoEye/NASA
I have such a weakness for aerial photography of any kind, and this Wired Science gallery of glaciers from space is spectacular.
I could not be more excited about Grant Hamilton’s documentary on the end of Polaroid film. Grant has an incredibly refined sense of quality to everything he does — I expect greatness.
Very excited to see what the Flickr community makes of this.
Vans and the Places They Were by Joe Stevens
A fun series of 50+ images of vans taken across California. Nothing quite like a good typology!
Kevin “lomokev” Meredith teaches a course based on his excellent photo tutorial book Hot Shots.
There is only one reason that I have not yet blogged about Kevin Meredith here on Space Miner: Everyone already knows how awesome he is. Even if you don’t know you know, you probably would recognize his photo of Imogen Heap in London that graced the Flickr homepage for years. Or maybe you read the first Flickr blog interview with him, or saw the work he’s done for Doc Martens or the stuff he’s had published in JPG and other photo magazines.
In any case, the word is out. In fact, the US edition of his truly great photo instruction book Hot Shots has done so well that they’ve almost blown through the first edition already. I personally have gifted it several times to budding photographers among my friends and family. Just get one, $12 not wasted.
If you’re in the bay area this October, you’ll have an opportunity to meet Kevin (I’d like to take partial credit since he’s coming for my Phoot Camp) at a book signing or one of his Hot Shots courses.
Hot Shots Book Signing - October 12
Hot Shots Course in San Francisco - October 15/16 and October 17/18
I’ll almost never post about my own photography on this site (mostly because it’s not as good as the other stuff I post) but I would like to share an iPhone photo series I took of people enjoying the view from a park bench at the top of Dolores Park. It’s a little slice of the culture of that specific place.
While you’re over there, click the link at the bottom of the page to check out my friend Dylan’s portfolio service site, Arlo. It’s neat!
Stereoscopik by Mathieu Hubert
I was delighted to see this series of sixteen viewfinder portraits hit my inbox this morning. What fun!
ffffound: Domestic Bliss by photographer Steven Klein

This W photo spread from 4 years ago feels incredibly relevant now, with Mad Men all the rage and the Pitts a growing family. Very nicely done!
Untitled by Mario Anzuoni
“Smoke rises and ashes glow on hills that burned during the Station fire in the Acton area of Los Angeles, California August 30, 2009.”
(From the Big Picture feature on Wildfires in Southern California)
noahkalina : Adam Dedman for KALINA Magazine #3

I’ve been impressed with all the Kalina Magazines so far, but this one seems to really take the cake. Ordered!
