Ori Gersht - Time After Time, 2007
“…Elaborate floral arrangements, based on a 19th-Century still-life painting by Henry Fantin-Latour, captured in the moment of exploding.
Flowers, which often symbolize peace, become victims of brutal terror, revealing an uneasy beauty in destruction. This tension that exists between violence and beauty, destruction and creation is enhanced by the fruitful collision of the age-old need to capture reality and the potential of photography to question what that actually means.”

In Focus: The 2012 Annular Eclipse
Yesterday, the Moon passed between the Sun and Earth, casting its shadow from China to North America. This was an annular eclipse, where the Moon’s apparent diameter is slightly smaller than the Sun’s, blocking all but a ring of sunlight. Skywatchers brought out special glasses, welder’s masks, and telescopes to safely view this relatively rare event. Some were lucky enough to look down and see overlapping pinhole projections of the eclipse as the sunlight streamed through the leaves of nearby trees. Gathered here, for those who weren’t able to see it in person, is a group of images of yesterday’s annular eclipse.

“The sense of an ending” by Helen Warner
One of my favorite (and, of course, totally unknown) fairytales involves a maid’s mother trying to drown the princess on the journey to her betrothed by throwing her mattress overboard while she’s sleeping. It doesn’t work because, unbeknown to her, the mattress is stuffed with phoenix feathers, and thus can’t sink.

Paris, 20 November 1903: the ghostly form of an airship floats past an equally ghostly Eiffel Tower, before a very solid crowd of completely entranced spectators. It is Le Jaune, ‘The Yellow’, the first of the successful Lebaudy series of French semi-rigid airships. (x)
