Here, but Not Here: Family Portraits Held Together by Skype
We live in a world in which some of the people we are closest to are often not near us at all.
When we document our day-to-day existence in photographs and Instagrams, these people are absent. Their presence in our lives is missing from our digital memories.
Photographer John Clang’s series Being Together seeks to correct this. Using Skype and projectors, he captures families visually as they are virtually.
“In these images,” Clang told me over email, “I am marking the time for these families, enabling them to remember these strange moments of togetherness with the technology presently available. The picture doesn’t stop here, it lingers on in their memory. It embraces the intimacy and closeness of a family, no matter how far apart they are.”

We’ve come to the conclusion that if Thomas Jorion ever fell on hard times as a photographer, he could be a talented set locator for horror films.
Great idea! Flickr photographer Henrique Feliciano Silva filled an empty light bulb with water to get this amazing refracted light photo of his hometown!

Also new in the shop: the Digital Tilt-Shift Camera!
Its lens is mounted at an angle for real tilt-shift. Plus, it’s so small you can carry it in your pocket.
