Some stunning work in Saroyan Humphrey's Nightlight series of photographs. Many more under the link.

57 PostsChronolog is a website for archiving "Time lapses of Earth powered by community science." Essentially, they're fixed phone placeholders where passersby can position their phone and take a picture. Then, the photo can be uploaded to the Chronolog website and, over time, you can see a "time lapse" of the location. Because the placeholder is "permanent," essentially every user's phone has the same point of view, forcing the perspective to be fixed, at least in theory.
Toronto only has one Chronolog. Unfortunately, it's placement is terrible. It overlooks Grenedier pond in High Park. It's one of my favorite places in the park, and therefore the city, but just about any other place on the pond or in the park would have been a better choice than this:
I walk by this space daily and though the distant greenery does change a bit, it's mostly a wasted opportunity and I hope High Park, or whoever paid for this particular Chronolog, moves it to a more dynamic location.
If you want to check your area for Chronologs, use the search feature on their site or browse the map.

Bet you didn't realize these were miniatures!

Some of Bernhard Lang's award-winning aerial photography. These are from his Adria Series and were taken from a helicopter in Italy in 2014. More on his site.
Street photographer Meryl Meisler's got a new book, Street Walker. It's available from Eyeshot and they're only printing as many copies as are pre-ordered.

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!
