Memory is a record.
People only have substance within the memories of other people. And that’s why there were all kinds of myself. There weren’t a lot of myself per se, I was just inside all sorts of people, that’s all.

Photographic Meditations on the Paintings of Edward Hopper(NSFW)

Photographer Richard Tuchsman did an amazing job recreating these works

The History of Trees

I could be yours
We can unwind
All these other flaws
All these other flaws

Another photo series done ages ago. It’s an attempt to make one location look like another. If you think these were taken somewhere fall and winter occurs, then I succeeded.

Southern Gothic

I’ve got to get away from here
This is not a place for me to stay
I’ve got to take my family
We’ll find a quiet place

This is part of a photo series I did ages ago, manipulating the images in the camera through delayed settings, overexposure, under-exposure, and movement.

Tokyo is world-famous for its urban density, so it’s no surprise that the legendarily packed city subways would capture photographer Michael Wolf’s imagination. Wolf’s work largely concentrates on how people move within metropolises, whether he’s trolling the Internet for Google street views or gazing through the windows of city dwellers. The series that has perhaps struck the biggest chord is the arresting commuter photos in Tokyo Compression—a third volume was just published last month by Peperoni Books and Asia One Books.

Alfonso Batalla - LANSCAPE UNDER CONSTRUCTION. Current and bright objects are inserted into decaying architectures showing the contradiction betwen “being oneself” and “being there” as in existencialism and making viewer wonder what is more real.

life: “I headed to the hospital first, but it was chaos — journalists, photographers, onlookers. So I headed over to Einstein’s office [at the Institute for Advanced Study]. On the way, I stopped and bought a case of scotch. I knew people might be reluctant to talk but that they’re usually happy to accept a bottle of booze, rather than money, in exchange for their help. Anyway, I get to the building, find the superintendent, offer him a fifth of scotch and like that, he opens up the office.” — Ralph Morse The rest, in a very real sense, is history. Here, the result: Albert Einstein’s office at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, photographed just as he left it.

life: “Jackson Pollock: Is he the greatest living painter in the United States?” So asked the headline of the famous August 8, 1949, LIFE article that made Pollock’s reputation — and that he spent much of the rest of his life trying to live up to. By giving birth to the abstract expressionist movement and making America the center of the art avant-garde, Pollock would prove the headline correct. But he soon abandoned the drip method that had made him famous, and spent the last few years of his life trying less successful styles and battling demons of depression and alcoholism. As this week marks the 55th anniversary of his death (in a single-car crash, on August 11, 1956, at age 44), LIFE.com presents rare and unseen outtakes from LIFE photographer Martha Nelson’s shoot with Pollock, images that offer a more complete portrait of the artist’s home life in the Hamptons (with wife and fellow painter Lee Krasner) and the singular working method that made him an art-world hero. see more — Jackson Pollock: RARE & UNPUBLISHED
