Andreas Gursky is a German visual artist drawn to large, anonymous, man-made spaces—high-rise facades at night, office lobbies, stock exchanges, the interiors of big box retailers. He makes large-scale, colour photographs distinctive for their incisive and critical look at the effect of capitalism and globalization on contemporary life.

This weekend, inspired by the snow falling over New York, I decided to visit Michael’s website to browse again some of his older images and I was surprised to find out that the website has been recently completely redone. Even more surprising was to find on the interviews page a beautiful video in which Michael goes to Kussharo Lake, in Hokkaido, to pay a visit and photograph one of his favorite trees.

The editors of Resolve, the blog of LiveBooks, posted this week an interesting open question for everyone to attempt to answer: “What do you think photobooks will look like in 10 years?

Brad is a fine art photographer who features in his photography the modest, well-worn, suburban cities in central and inland Southern California.

When I first stumbled upon Matt Stuart’s photography work it was by discovering the picture above. It blew my mind. I still have to find another photographs that seizes the moment in a similar way and, at the same time, features such an amazing composition. Searching for more information about his work I found a post on “B” in which Matt reveals the story behind this image.
