Photo of the Day (9/22/07)

by Justin Glow on

Today’s photo of the day comes from Gadling reader weegolo who captured this colorful scene at the Lantern Festival in Singapore. I’m not sure which Lantern Festival it is, however. After doing some research, it seems like it’s the Mid-Autumn festival (which is also called the Lantern Festival), but this year’s event doesn’t start until September 25th. Maybe this installation was setup in preparation for the festival?

I love the way that StrudelMonkey has captured a bit of the old and a bit of the new in this photograph of two doors in Tangier. And, just check out that workmanship! You can see exactly how that new door was put in. I wonder if they’ll ever get around to painting the cement or if it will remain in this condition for the next 100 years, proudly showing off the cement skills of the owner.

Today’s Bad Eng(r)ish

Here at Gadling, we try to keep our eyes to the ground in search of amusing English the world over. Truth be told, sometimes we can’t please everyone, but let it be known that our intention is never to offend.

With that said, I would like to bring you this photo advertising a yakiniku (grilled meat, ??????) restaurant that I scoped out this week in Tokyo. As an aspiring vegetarian, I try to avoid eating red meat whenever possible, but I just couldn’t pass this one up.

After all, roast meat does give you more power…

Dammit!

I’ve been to this exact location and after trying many “cool” angles, the best I could come up with was this.

Ace photographer Pirano, however, has managed to snap the coolest shot of Berlin’s Holocaust Memorial I’ve ever seen. The dark looming pillars, the glimmery shine, the little brick path the runs on forever, and foreboding doom that hangs over this masterpiece really blows my feeble attempt away. Congrats, Pirano, for an excellent photograph.

If you’d like lavish praise heaped upon your photography skills, jump on over to our Gadling Flicker Pool and upload your most worthy efforts.

I am so fond of this picture. Bennyjewell just posted it yesterday. The person in the window behind the frosted glass is actually a mannequin. According to the tag list, this was shot in Paris. The photographer said that he shouted out just as the woman was passing by so she would look his way. I’m impressed with how perfectly she is framed in contrast to the mannequin. This is is certainly a case of being at the right place at the right time and having your camera ready–also, not being afraid to get the shot that you envision. Hopefully, the woman was not too perturbed. One of my favorite photo essay books is Ageless Mind and Spirit: Faces and Voices from India’s Elderly. This photo reminds me of those.

If you’d like your photos to be considered for a Photo of the Day, post them at Gadling’s Photo Pool on Flickr. All sorts of subjects catch our eye.
