A photographic project that made me think about mortality. Walter Schels took photographs of patients at a cancer ward before and after death. The really nice part of the gallery is the mini-stories about the subjects and how the thought about their situation.

Thank you Erika Gunderson
PhotographyThe story of how Erica and her fiance Brian Ascher returned a camera tracking clues from the photos left on the camera itself to an Irish owner living in Australia.
An interesting tale where everyone comes out a winner. A nice piece to read to end the weekend. I just wish someone found me from a camera that I left in a taxi in Amsterdam on Queen’s Day 2004. A lot of memorable photos were lost.

Automatic geotagging of photos
Photography, TechDP Review reports that a new geotagging device that adds geotagging to photos taken while carrying it around. I have thought about adding geotagging to my photos but every solution that I have considered takes some effort. This would be very nice to sync with Google Maps on my fotolog site.
The pocket-sized receiver keeps track of where you go and, so long as you’ve synchronized your camera with the clock on the Photo Finder, will match up your photos with where you were when you took them. Inserting an SD, SDHC, MMC or Memory Stick PRO Duo card allows the device to embed this location information into the EXIF metadata of the images on the card.

PhotographyLighting faces
* The soft light you get on overcast days is especially good for photographing people, as it delivers the best skin tones
* Side or ‘cross’ lighting is more interesting because it gives depth and form to your portrait sitter
* Keep backgrounds and other distractions to the minimum so that the viewer can concentrate on the face
* In this picture, soft light from a window lights the faces of the girls from the side, while a zoomed-in setting throws the foreground face out of focus.

PhotographyThis is a nice mashup between flickr and Google maps and quite hypnotic. Each time a photo gets uploaded to flickr, it displays it on a map where it came from.
