He covered revolutionary leader Fidel Castro’s entrance into Havana, Cuba, and photographed people such as Andy Warhol and Helen Frankenthaler. Glinn’s photos show such things as the social scene of the rich, the dirtiness of politics, and the humorous flotilla that called itself the Seattle Tubing Society.

America and Russia – now and then
Posted in Life by sanela | Tags: caption, Life, moment, people, photography, timeA good photography can sometimes really stop time, capture a moment and preserve it for future generations. And slowly as everything else changes and fells a part the scene captured in that picture will remain forever the same. It is extremely exciting to look at old pictures like this and then compare the way something looked like in the past and the way it looks now.

Moving portraits by Mehmet Akin
Posted in Arts by sanela | Tags: art, human destiny, Life, people, photography, portraitsMehmet Akin is doctor/photographer from Turkey, Izmir. He’s 50 years old and as I said before, taking photos isn’t his first vocation, but nevertheless he does it amazingly well. His basic muse and inspiration is his homeland, Turkey with its breathtaking landscapes and its wonderful people. Here you can have a look at some samples of the portraits that he has taken of old people in his country. They are very moving and you can see the mark of time on their faces. It’s almost like every face is telling his own story and testifying that human destiny (kismet) is a thing greater than human himself.
In touch with nature

Have a look at these great black and white pictures showing the beauty of nature and the delicate connection of human with it. We’ve came out of nature, but we seem to have forgotten our origins. Because of the lack of this connection we feel incomplete and frustrated, but we seem to deny it. Maybe these images will help us remember where we came from and help us find our inner peace.
Magical realism photography
Posted in Misc by sanela | Tags: artwork, modern, photography, surrealismMagic realism, or magical realism, is an artistic genre in which magical elements or illogical scenarios appear in an otherwise realistic or even “normal” settings. It has been widely used in relation to literature, art, and film.
As used today the term is broadly descriptive rather than critically rigorous: Matthew Strecher has defined magic realism as “what happens when a highly detailed, realistic setting is invaded by something ‘too strange to believe’.” The term was initially used by German art critic Franz Roh to describe painting which demonstrated an altered reality, but was later used by the Venezuelan Arturo Uslar-Pietri to describe the work of certain Latin American writers. Today, there are many writers whose work falls in the category of magical realism.
