I wanted to do 'endless scrolling' on this writing thing but I get lost.

Russia, polar region of West Siberia, Tazovsky peninsula. Reindeer breeding - one of the basic employment of indigenous population of this region. All earths, suitable for a pasture, are assigned to families of reindeer breeders or sovkhoz brigades. Reindeer graze freely and in search of reindeer lichen for a night can disperse on few kilometers. The foreman of shepherds examines herd on a pasture with the help of binocular. (© Dmitriy Nikonov)

There is something with photographs of people that draw my eye. Maybe it’s the emotion, the intensity, the uncertainty that is captured in that one split-second.

Lucky residents (and a lucky photographer too!).:

Copenhagen, The Gemini Towers, private residential building by the river. I had to wait about 2 hrs and hoped some residents would come in or out and kindly let me in. It was worth waiting coz this building its so unreal. (© Elena Baroni)

Every day, I’ll post a photo from the National Geographic Photo Contest 2011. Let’s kick it off with this one:

This image captures almost 6 hours of climbing parties on Rainier going for the summit under starry skies. Wind shifts during the night would cause bands of smoke from fires 100 miles away on Mt Hood to pass over Rainier. This intermittent low-level haze caused the red glow seen in the sky and a Rainier that looks like it was almost painted on. Lights from Sunrise can be seen in the lower right of the frame.

I can’t stop thinking about the potential bragging rights of the phones’ owners.

“Oh, this phone? It went to outer space and back. True story.”

This has to be a composite or that guy is seriously fucked. Or they could be really far but the angle with which this photo was taken made it look as such but still THAT’S AN EFFIN SHARK.
Nevertheless, a very provocative photo.

Dear Photograph,I awoke to the sound of an airplane hitting the tower. As we looked up and stared in utter disbelief at the nightmare unfolding in front of us, all I could think was “please, let this be a bad dream”. How I wish it had been…Mark Yokoyama

What a powerful photo to commemorate the fall of the Twin Towers. It’s already ten years ago and yet the world could still feel the reverberations the disaster caused. In a sense, it caused a great shift within the US of A, which in turn caused the world view on terrorism to change.
Let’s share a prayer or two today to all the families that were affected then, now and in the future.

“It seems to me that the most important way to improve your skill as a photographer is to have some sense of what you’re trying to achieve or say; a sense, even if vague, of how you’d like a picture to look and how to get your camera to produce what you want. Without this you’re basically just snapping the shutter and hoping for the best.”

My favourite photo I took whilst in NYC, not bad saying I lost my DSLR charger and had to resort to my iPhone 4 camera

New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of; there’s nothing you can’t do. ♩
