Richard Sandler's exquisite NY photography spans decades.

It's easy to find desolation in Los Angeles, if you get up early enough. It's not a late night town.
I remember the first time I'd ever seen a coyote in person was on Hollywood Boulevard about 4:45 in the morning. It was just walking down the Walk of Fame, not a care in the world.
For about 3 and a half years, between 2008 and 2019, I lived all over Los Angeles County. I've been to every location Christopher Thomas photographs in his series, Lost In L.A., but I've never seen it presented like this. Wonderful stuff and lots more behind those links.
Cody Ellington's extraordinary nighttime photography of Japan thrills me, probably because I suck at nighttime pictures.
More pictures are on Ellington's Webflow site and a list of his other projects is here.
He's also a collaborator on Wander the Night.
The Canadian National Exhibition is open 18 days per year at the end of the Toronto summer. Final day for 2024 is today, September 2, Labour Day. Kristan Klimczak is down there right now taking photos of CNE visitors, just as she's done every day it's run since 2015.
The facial expressions on the Ex's visitors and employees pretty much sum up my thoughts of the event, which explains why I haven't been back since 1982. Cement, heat, lack of shade, terrible food, crazy prices, and crowds. It's hard for me to think of any place I'd rather not be. Love the photos, though!

Absolutely floored by Ashley Suszczynski's work exploring "ancient traditions in the modern day."
Kukeri, Kolarovo Village, Petrich Municipality, Blagoevgrad Province, Bulgaria (both)
Kukeri, Peshtera Village, Zemen Municipality, Pernik Region, Bulgaria // Caretos of Lazarim
From Suszczynski's site, which is correctly named Really Good Pictures:
Ashley Suszczynski is an award-winning travel photographer based in Wilmington, Delaware, USA, focused on capturing ancient traditions in the modern day. She aims to tell the story of how lesser known cultures, relics, rites, and rituals have withstood time and evolved in our ever-changing world. Through visual storytelling, she hopes to share knowledge and understanding of these age-old customs in order to continue their preservation and social approval.
Stunning work. More on the site.
Breathtaking work from Tine Poppe: Gilded Lilies — Portraits of cut flowers.
Tine Poppe — Amaranthus Caudatus // Chrysantemum Morifolium Ms Daisy
I wanted to post them all but then there'd be no reason to visit Poppe's fantastic site.
Some of Lukas Vasilikos B&W series, Stories Retold. I believe most of these were shot in Greece, where Vasilikos lives.
See the full series on the Vasilikos website.
Lukas is part of the Burn My Eye collective.
The Verge on AI in photography with the release of the new Google Pixel:
An explosion from the side of an old brick building. A crashed bicycle in a city intersection. A cockroach in a box of takeout. It took less than 10 seconds to create each of these images with the Reimagine tool in the Pixel 9’s Magic Editor. They are crisp. They are in full color. They are high-fidelity. There is no suspicious background blur, no tell-tale sixth finger. These photographs are extraordinarily convincing, and they are all extremely fucking fake.
Some of the examples they offer:
These were created in-camera. No additional software or skills required.
The conclusion of The Verge's article? We're fucked.
