Photo of the Day (08/28/08)

by Kent Wien on

Today’s Photo of the Day comes from Damiel who captured this picture in front of Notre Dame, in Paris. Damiel has a great collection of pictures from his trip there last week. He really did capture much of the city in perfect clarity. Nice job!

I’m always a sucker for a narrow depth of field, which brings out the subject in the photo in detail. This picture is a good example of this technique.

Photo of the Day (04/07/08)

We haven’t featured any socialist realism photos here for a while. This one caught my eye.

Taken by Damiel in Berlin, we are looking at the backs of Karl Marx and Fridrich Engels, possibly the world’s most influential “utopists.” The composition is what makes the photo: mixing the old with the new. Juxtaposing the TV tower with the old Rathaus (Town Hall), set on the bed of white fluffy clouds and, of course, concrete. This must be how utopia is born.
