Untitled Gentleman #14 by Erica Allen
Another great image by Erica Allen
Untitled Gentleman is a series of fictional portraits created using anonymous faces from contemporary barbershop hairstyle posters combined with figures from discarded studio photographs. Through interventions in these found photographs, this work explores representations and constructions of identity in portraiture and appropriates value to images and individuals who are otherwise overlooked.

Coudal Partners’ Layer Tennis Presented by Adobe CS4 | Week 13 | Layer 3
There’s a pretty wonderful, funny round of Layer Tennis going on today between Swedish designers Joakim Jansson and Jakob Nylund.
79 Moons From Flickr - 51 Visible
A new 20x200 edition by Penelope Umbrico to benefit the Aperture Foundation.
Suns [and Moons, shown above] From Flickr is a project I started in 2006 when, looking for “the most photographed” subject, I found 541,795 photographs of sunsets searching “sunset” on the photo-sharing web site Flickr. At the time that seemed like a lot; today there are more than 4,786,139 hits for “sunset” on Flickr. I think it’s peculiar that the sun — the quintessential life-giver, constant in our lives, symbol of enlightenment, spirituality, eternity, all things unreachable and ephemeral, omnipotent provider of optimism and vitamin D… and so ubiquitously photographed — is now subsumed to the internet — the most virtual of spaces equally infinite but within a closed digital circuit.
If this wasn’t so very-well-done, it would be like a lot of very crappy novice photoshop art. Maybe that’s what I like so much about it?

And while, realistically, I could post the entire portfolios of Keetra Dean Dixon and JK Keller on this blog and die happily, I’ll refrain (kinda). One last thing, however, is this awesome image. At first I thought it was just randomly distorted, but they actually reversed the contours of their faces to align with their silhouettes. It’s the coolest thing ever!
This photo made me yawn!
Danish photographer Peter Funch stakes New York City street corners out for two weeks at a time, taking pictures of passersby from the very same spot. He then uses Photoshop to composite the results into single images
Brilliant!

Faked Photos = False Memories?
I’ve only read the first page of this study, but it looks pretty interesting:
Because image-enhancing technology is readily available, people are frequently exposed to doctored images. However, in prior research on how adults can be led to report false childhood memories, subjects have typically been exposed to personalized and detailed narratives describing false events. Instead, we exposed 20 subjects to a false childhood event via a fake photograph and imagery instructions. Over three interviews, subjects thought about a photograph showing them on a hot air balloon ride and tried to recall the event by using guided-imagery exercises. Fifty percent of the subjects created complete or partial false memories. The results bear on ways in which false memories can be created and also have practical implications for those involved in clinical and legal settings.
