One of my favourite is Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, well known as Lewis Carroll, the writer of Alice in Wonderland.

Dodgson’s main topic was young little girls. He also made many studies of men, women, male children and landscapes. His subjects also include skeletons, dolls, dogs, statues and paintings, and trees. His studies of nude children were long presumed lost, but six have since surfaced, five of which have been published and are available online.

I like his works because he showed the girls as beeing in Wonderlans, and his portraits about men and women are also special.

My favorite two Japanese photographers are,

Kayo Ume ( http://japan.digitaldj-network.com/archives/51856149.html) She doesn't have official site so I attach twitter's page that upload lots of her photos.

and

Mika Ninagawa (http://www.ninamika.com/en/photographs/index.html : English site).

Kayo's photos are soooo amusing and humorous. She takes photos of everyday life that we take for glanted and neglect. Once you see her wokrs, you'll sware to bring your camera with you everyday not to miss funny timing!

Mika's photos are all vivid colour and wonderful! She is well know in Japan and abroad.

SlideShare początkowo był serwisem umożliwiającym umieszczenie współdzielenie i publikowanie prezentacji. Z czasem serwis przekształcił się w serwis społęcznościowy. Obecnie jest największą na świecie społecznością udostępniania prezentacji. Umożliwia upload prezentacji oraz udostępnianie ich na blogach, Twitterze, Facebooku i innych tego rodzaju serwisach. Co najmniej 50 milionów ludzi miesięcznie wykorzystuje SlideShare na badania, dzielenie się pomysłami, łączenie się z innymi i generowania potencjalnych klientów. SlideShare obecnie obsługuje również dokumenty, pliki PDF i video.

Warto się zainteresować tą sieciową społecznością oraz możliwościami jakie udopstępnia serwis. Gorąco polecam: http://www.slideshare.net/

Have you heard about how „renew” nowadays Leonardo da Vinci’s Last supper?

I was wandering, when I read about, that ’The Last Supper’ was not only da Vinci’s theme. In the 14th-20th centuries many wellknown artist painted in this subject. Albrecht Durer, Tintoretto Blake, Rembrant.

Nowadays ont he internet you can find a lot of ’renew’ of da Vinci’s version. I found a webpage, where they collected many of them. These pictures are working perfectly, from the same gestures you associate to the original one. The figures sit or stand in the same position. So finally you always think about The Last Supper.

By the way, do you think this renewing is a good thing? Or does it ashamed to the original painting? Is it a kind of art? Or just a joke?

Arno Rafael Minkkinen (b. 1945) is considered one of the most renowned and influential Finnish photographers worldwide. His works can be found in the Museum of Modern Art in New York and he has won several awards in Italy, France, the United States and Finland. Minkkinen has been living and working in the U.S. Since 1951.

Arno Rafael Minkkinen is best known of his black-and-white photos in which he combines landscapes and nude human body. The nude human figure – often Minkkinen himself – becomes an integral part of the landscape. Allthough Minkkinen has lived in States most of his life, plays Finnish landscape and nature an important part in his works. His photographs have a captivating and almost supernatural atmosphere. Minkkinen is famous for categorially sticking to his rule not to use any kind of manipulation or external help in the photographing process.

What really attracts me in Minkkinen's photographs is the simplicity and calmness. The elements in his photos – the bare human body and the stillness of the landscape – are simple but the combined result is very dramatic. A glimpse of that power of expression is something I trying to capture in photography myself.
