Reflections of Time by TOM HUSSEY

For his series Mirrors, Dallas-based photographer Tom Hussey paired images of elderly subjects with reflections of the “younger versions” of themselves. The results were so impressive that they were used in an award-winning ad cam­paign for an Alzheimer’s drug.





“I was talking with a World War II veteran, Gardner, about his life experiences,” says Hussey, explaining the genesis of the project. 
He was about to have his 80th birthday. He commented that he didn’t understand how he could be 80 years old as he felt he was still a young man. He just didn’t feel it was possible he could be 80 years old. I started thinking about a milestone age approaching for me, as I was nearing 40. I realized that everyone thinks of themselves at a certain age or time in life. I built a bathroom set and photographed Gardner staring into his bathroom mirror and seeing himself as a 25-year-old young man.

"Buble" 1963 - Melvin Sokolsky

This iconic “Bubble” series was created by fashion photographer Melvin Sokolsky for the Harper’s Bazaar 1963 Spring Collection. The series, inspired by The Garden of Earthly Delights and Surrealism, depicts model Simone D’Aillencourt in large bubbles floating through the Paris cityscape. 
Since we are talking pre-Photoshop, the plexiglass bubbles had to be hung from a crane in various locations throughout the city.

Fotografia de David Burdeny (Canada)

Desde 2001, eu me concentrei em água como um tema singular no meu trabalho. Tendo trabalhado nos cinco continentes, tentei catálogo através de uma variedade de meios fotográficos, a atmosfera, cores, luzes, formas e formas que compõem os oceanos, os mares e as costas.

Em 2007 e na Primavera de 2008, fiz várias viagens de longo curso para os extremos superior e inferior do nosso planeta para fotografar as costas, as formas de gelo monolítico e paisagens da Gronelândia, da Islândia e da Antártida. A maioria desses lugares são difíceis de alcançar, para além das fronteiras das rotas de transporte interno, acessível apenas por pequenas aeronaves ou barcos. Todos estão em perigo, em certa medida - ameaçada pelo turismo, as alterações climáticas, a indústria ea busca por petróleo.

Esta nova série, os icebergs começam a explorar o que são atualmente os litorais mais geopolítica e geograficamente sensíveis na terra.

Formalmente diferente do meu trabalho anterior, mas motivados por princípios semelhantes, estas imagens tentativa de encapsular tanto alheamento ea realidade vital dos mares do norte e oceanos. Eu fui atraído para a fragilidade e graça da paisagem congelada. Para mim, o trabalho é tanto uma celebração da sobrevivência da natureza e uma elegia.

A maioria das imagens foram feitas usando um giroscópio estabilizada de médio formato e uma câmera panorâmica 6x17 mão do lado de pequenos barcos abertos e gelo grande reforço navio. Diversas modificações foram feitas a partir da costa com uma câmera tripodmounted. Originalmente concebido como um projeto monocromática em preto e branco com as imagens gravadas na Gronelândia de 2007, a paleta de cores única e surreal dessas latitudes extremas compelido a adição de cores. É um indício de que o explorador norueguês Fridtjof Nansen Arctic aludia quando ele escreveu:

"Nada é mais maravilhosamente linda que pode existir na noite ártica. É uma terra de sonhos, pintada em tons mais delicados da imaginação: a sua cor etéreo. Uma sombra se funde com o outro, de modo que você não pode dizer onde um termina eo outro se encontra, e eles ainda estão todos lá. "
