Photon Detector | Nicolai Morrisson

Holga Photos Photon Detector | Nicolai Morrisson pictures

Nicolai Morrisson grew up in upstate New York and in Denmark. As a child, he enjoyed taking stuff apart, talking to himself in different accents, breakdancing, apprenticing in a family restaurant kitchen, and taking pictures of everyday objects like drinking straws and winches.

Never having had much regard for arbitrary rules, he was drawn to punk rock and geek culture, where the strong “think for yourself”, “question everything”, DIY, and freedom of knowledge and information ethics matched his own. His professional life has been a bit art-meets-science, having functioned as a user experience and graphic designer for print and the Web, computer programmer and systems architect, audio engineer, composer, classically-trained pastry chef (the ones who make desserts), and founder of a graphic design/music recording studio and a dot com.

He isn’t convinced that this culture we’ve got going is such a hot idea, but he’s having a good time documenting various parts of it with photon detectors of all kinds, whoring himself out to any imaging device—and anything that can be made into one—that crosses his path.

In addition to photography, he enjoys making and eating ice cream, throat singing, amateur theoretical physics, bacon, and things that are plaid. He dislikes bios and finds writing about himself in the third person a bit creepy.

GlobalFingerprints – Mike Nyffeler

Today, during my regular afternoon catch up session on Twitter I found a reference about our site by last month’s winner Mike Nyffeler. While it is always nice to be mentioned, I like to think that we provide a service for photographers… to meet/catch up with others in the field..read about their stories…get exposed to new techniques and styles…but most importantly, gain motivation from the success of others and aspire to continue to develop our own skills.

GlobalFingerprints from michael nyffeler on Vimeo.
In checking out the kind words from Mike, I cruised through his site to find that, in addition to shooting photographs, he is quite the accomplished videographer. Unlike the majority of  photogs who punch the clock on a daily basis and steal away a few moments a week to work on their craft, Mike is living the dream…traveling the globe..documenting  all that inspires him.

I was so impressed with his recent video, that I had to share it with you. Hope you enjoy! Continued success to Mike.

Miss Aniela Photography – Adventures in Self-Portraiture

miss aniela 259x300 Miss Aniela Photography Adventures in Self Portraiture pictures“Miss Aniela is a fine-art photographer based in South East UK. Miss Aniela independently models for, directs, photographs and digitally processes her own images.

“I have always been creative, but since digital photography became my favourite mode of self-expression, I have stopped writing regularly in my diary. My images have become their own autobiography.

“All I need for a self portrait is one spark of inspiration: a beam of light, an interesting garment, a few appealing kinks in my hair after it’s been in bunches. I might spy myself in the mirror across the room and have a voyeuristic urge to capture myself on camera, to produce a movie-still from a movie that never existed. It’s more than being a convenient model; it is the fascination with being able to become part of a different mise-en-scéne every time, placing lips and limbs and locks within the frame which all belong to me, and yet with manipulation, become almost those of someone else, a higher self, a multiplicity of different ‘selves’.”"
