Flickr member Jason Travis has photographed a variety of people in and around Atlanta, Georgia and an inventory of what they carry and created a great collection of these diptychs: Persona.

Here’s Jason’s Persona self-portrait:

Great stuff, beautifully executed.

I’ve always thought it would be cool to photograph the cover of Macworld magazine using an iPhone as my camera. When the new iPhone 4 was released with the 5MP camera, the editors at Macworld were excited to see if it could be done. What better way to showcase the phone’s new camera than to have an iPhone take the photo of the iPhone on the cover?

Look at the fantastic jig he’s got for the shoot. Great documentation.

The Denver Post has put together a fine collection of aerial images of New York City (mostly Manhattan). Most of the images were taken by Daniel Acker for Bloomberg News but there are other photographers represented as well. This is one, fine collection.

Susan’s images are shot on film with homemade medium format cameras and homemade lenses, primarily made out of plastic, vintage camera parts and random household objects. Effects are created entirely IN-camera. No photoshop post-processing techniques are used to achieve effects.

This is spectacular work, both surrealistic and impressionistic at the same time. It would be wonderful to see this work in fine art print form. Might have to get to one of the galleries representing her (there’s one in Greenwich, Connecticut).

Minele on flickr has posted a spectacular pond reflection image, shot with a Powershot S90.

I love this great image of Ed Mika and what looks like a 1D body and a 300mm f/2.8 lens on a monopod with a little girl’s face stuck in the end. Good thing that lens hood is deep or she’d be licking the front element.

The photographer Pierre Yves-Petit, who called himself “Yvon,” wandered the streets of Paris between the world wars looking for the moment when the shifting light and clouds would perfectly reveal the city’s ephemeral, iconic beauty. The dramatic images of the city and its people that he made during those years would become the most popular postcards in France.

These images are fabulous, they make me want to get to Paris immediately with small camera in hand and the great part is, they’re some of the earliest images that were turned into postcards that brought Paris to people in other parts of the world. Yvon channelled Paris beautifully.

Robert Stevens’ book of Yvon’s work can be bought on Amazon: Yvon’s Paris.

Here’s his website which is also excellent: Michael Mauro Photography.

Flickr member fingerprinz shoots with a Leica M3, a 50mm f/2 lens and Tri-x film. His work is some of the best I’ve seen in a long while, excellent eye for light and detail and of course, exposure.
