Michael Wolf,born in Germany rise in USA and living in China. It is one of my favorites photographers, his symmetry, composition and massive patterns are a delight to my eyes. It invites me to think about a way of life completely different, where the collective is so big that being individual doesn’t make any sense, suddenly the question of an individual act changing the world takes more significance and look impossible in his images.

Discovering 9-eyes.com from Jon Rafman. When I think about street photography, words like opportunity, fearless, witness among others come to my mind, I personally don’t do much street photography as I’m not a “fearless” person. As you may know, google had a project to bring streets views to your screen, despite all the controversy about privacy that this project generates, one thing is certain, google have documented the street life of our world. Google doesn’t have a human eye trying to follow the life on the streets, but when you have computers that document every inch of the road all the time, they will eventually document street life. Surfing the web I discovered Jon Rafman, who have a website called 9-eyes.com, this site present life scenes grabbed from google street view, and I have to admit that looking after a while it really reflects what is our world right now. If I were a street photographer I would like to have a portfolio so deep as this one. Take a look of that compilation, appreciate our world and have fun!

Stefano Cerio work Aquapark. Stefano lives and work between Rome and Paris. Great material, love the contradiction of the places that depending of the season share life or desolation. The desaturated images increase the feeling of absence and it is made with elegance. Check the rest of his work in Stefano Cerio website. I also recommend to see the video that he has in the website.

Samuel Aranda, Winner of World Press Photo 2012.

Samuel Aranda from Spain has won the World Press Photo 2012. Somehow I have a kind of the same sensation when I see this photo and see ¨La Pieta¨ of Michelangelo. The scene was captured while antigovernment protesters movement in Sanaa. Samuel work for the Corbis Agency and it was under an assignment for the New York Times.

Congratulations to Samuel!

Counter Culture movement in photography expression it’s been present continuously from the sixties. it is interesting to see how its contribute to society and how it’s been changed according to the time. Musée de L’Elysée in France currently is running an expo with this subject with an expression of artist from Suisse. The photo (from Plonk Replonk) give us a good idea where is the counter culture movement is aiming its current targets. Worth to pay a visit.

Great landscape from the German Photographer Christian Schmidt. I perceive peace harmony and loneliness from it, sometimes we need these elements to find ourselves, probably that’s is why I like this one….

Take a look at his work on http://www.christianschmidt.com/
