Sombra Projects is proud to present its inaugural exhibition at the New

York Photo Festival, a collaborative effort dedicated to showcasing social

documentary photography within a fine art aesthetic. Sombra Projects

grew out of a network of photographers based primarily in New York

City as a way to present personal work and share their experiences.

Sombra Projects exists as a compliment to the photographers’ individual

endeavors and provides them an opportunity to work together, allowing

them to make connections between their diverse experiences and to

engage in a conversation to about their lives and, more importantly, the

people and places in front of the lens.

fun new photo prop.)~

So yeah, we know street art, Banksy, and all that jazz is so very late April

2010, done and overdone, *yawn*.

But when we came across this clever lenticular made out of an iron gate

in Berlin, we couldn’t help ourselves.

Made with photo-realistic strips attached to slats, it’s invisible from the

front, and shows a different pic from each side.

May it inspire some creative new photo displays in your life… or at least a

re-visit to our DIY Lenticular Tutorial!

George Steinmetz gets as far away as he can, then he snaps the shutter.

A new angle in photography is rare, so we’re always impressed when

someone manages a vantage point we haven’t seen.

George certainly qualifies. Soaring above the African desert in a

motorized para-glider (think flying lawn chair), then landing in remote

villages and befriending the inhabitants, he gets the sort of shot you’ve

seen, but had no idea how they were made.

Thanks George, for reminding us that sometimes to really see something,

you have to get really (really) far away.
