Ghosts of War � WWII Photos on to Modern Street Scenes
�Cherbourg, avenue de Paris, ancient Poste de Police, jardin Public.�
History is often seen as a subject of cramming � what we often don�t appreciate, is how intertwined it is with our present. Dutch historian Jo Hedwig Teeuwisse tries to demonstrate that very literally with her Ghosts of War photo series, where she blends the present day and the original World War II pictures of the same place into one. Jo spends hours looking for the locations and taking pictures that match the originals, and then photoshops them to combine the war ghosts into the current settings.
�I try to make people realise that history is all around us. That where you live, work or go to school, once people fought, died or simply experienced a different kind of life. We are history, history is us,� � she says.

Four sisters and 36 years
1975
Back in 1975, American photographer Nicholas Nixon captured by his camera general portrait of the four sisters, among whom was his wife Bibi. From the moment the picture was to make an annual tradition. In total, the project eventually lasted exactly thirty-six years. At the time of the first shot, the youngest of the sisters, Mimi, was fifteen years old. And at the time of the last photo, the eldest sister, Bibi, was already 61. The series is called "Brown Sisters" These photos can not be considered highly artistic. However, the project itself is quite interesting to observe how the maturation. It was growing up, because women never get old ;) 35 more images after the break...

Touching Moment
Pictures that cause the most intense emotions, touch a nerve and touched to tears. Sometimes the picture is more than just another moment in the life of a person. Sometimes even a single random shot can tell a lot or cause the strongest emotions. Each shot, as his story touched to the core. These photos tell about the past, learn a lot about this and stop immediately for the future.

Aerial Shots of International Airports by Jeffrey Milstein
Inspired by a childhood spent filming planes at LAX with an 8-millimeter videocamera, New York photographer and former Berkeley architecture student Jeffrey Milstein has turned his fascination for aviation into a career. Typically known for photographing the underbellies of aircrafts, Milstein�s latest series captures the artistic composition and elaborate array of patterns formed by airports and only seen from above. He describes this series as revealing �the patterns, layering and complexity of cities, and the circulation patterns for travel, such as waterways, roads, and airports that grow organically over time much like a living organism.� 09 more images after the break...

Blanket of fog hangs over the Dubai
Dubai-based German photographer Sebastian Opitz captures the surreal and mystical look of his adopted city as fog rolls in and out at sunrise. The photographer renames the cityscape as Cloud City for the brief moments when the mist takes over and fills the empty space between the towering buildings. Optiz's images offer a serene and dreamy view of a bustling city, re-imagining it as a heavenly metropolis in the sky.
The photographer says, "I've been living in Dubai for over four years now and always dreamed of taking one of those rare shots from above the fog. This only happens on 4 - 6 days per year and when it happens it will be over by 9 AM. So one has to make sure to be up on the roof of a tower before sunrise and hope for the best." Luckily, Opitz was there to catch the magical event from high above the city on the 85th floor of the Princess Tower.
Opitz also took a time lapse video that covers a little over four hours in less than two minutes.08 more images after the break...

Pictures Tokyo second half 19th Century
You do not let the misleading presence of color in photographs. The consequences of manual processing of photos aniline dye. All the pictures you see, were made between 1865 and 1895 years. Just at this time, Tokyo was renamed from the old name and became the capital of Edo Japan. Before that, we recall, was the country's main city of Kyoto. The pictures you see now are made by Japanese photographer Kusakabe Kimbey. That he then added the photos paint. So, in the picture you will see the sights of Tokyo itself, no skyscrapers and incredible population density. The focus will be the Imperial Palace, many parks, temple complexes and life of the Japanese. 18 more images after the break...

Beautiful Glasswinged Butterfly
Have you ever seen a glasswinged butterfly (Greta oto)? You might think that this creature is a figment of one's imagination, perhaps a Photoshopped composite shot of a butterfly blending into a serene setting, but the truth is that it exists! The aptly named insect is a brush-footed (or four-footed) butterfly whose wings appear to be made of glass, though they're not. The tissue within their wings lack the usually colorful pigments found in other butterflies; thus, they have a glassy, transparent appearance.
Found primarily in Central America (Mexico through Panama), the glasswinged butterfly's name in Spanish is Espejitos which translates as little mirrors. In certain lights, the translucent wing parts have a glossy, almost reflective quality to them that makes their Spanish name effectively accurate. Whether they're seen as glass or mirrors, though, there's something absolutely fascinating about the way these butterflies' wings offer a surreal look at the environment around the insect. It's like they're tiny ornaments designed to draw the eye to the scenic appeal of nature. 13 more images after the break...

Alan Friedman�s Photographs of the Sun from his Own Backyard
Alan Friedman is a fascinating guy. By day he�s a maker of greeting cards and a lover of hats, but in his spare time he�s a self-proclaimed space cowboy who points a telescope skyward from his backyard in downtown Buffalo, directly into the light of the sun. Using special filters attached to his camera Friedman captures some of the most lovely details of the Sun�s roiling surface. The raw images are colorless and often blurry requiring numerous hours of coloring, adjusting and finessing to tease out the finest details, the results of which hardly resemble what I imagine the 10-million degree surface of Sun might look like. Instead Friedman�s photos appear almost calm and serene, perhaps an entire planet of fluffy clouds or cotton candy. From his artist statement:
My photographs comprise a solar diary, portraits of a moment in the life of our local star. Most are captured from my backyard in Buffalo, NY. Using a small telescope and narrow band filters I can capture details in high resolution and record movements in the solar atmosphere that change over hours and sometimes minutes. The raw material for my work is black and white and often blurry. As I prepare the pictures, color is applied and tonality is adjusted to better render the features. It is photojournalism of a sort. The portraits are real, not painted. Aesthetic decisions are made with respect for accuracy as well as for the power of the image. Although the photos above are amazing, Friedman offers extremely high-resolution views of his work on his Tumblr and you can pick up some prints over on Photo-Eye. He also recently gave a TEDx Talk. 08 more images after the break...

21 Touching Memory of Past
What started off as a small blog with just 6 family pictures based on a principle of matching an old photo with the present day setting, has now turned into highly successful site of digital nostalgia with hundreds of submissions from all over the world.
The idea about the project came to a 22-year-old Ontario-based Taylor Jones completely by accident. He was going through his parents� old pictures and in one of the photos he saw his brother, sitting on the same kitchen table like Taylor was then. Taylor held the photo up in front of the table and took a new picture � in only 6 weeks, the response to this idea worldwide was overwhelming, with millions views and hundreds of submissions on Taylor�s site.
One year later, Taylor took the idea offline, and released a book. Here are some of our favorite and most heart touching dear photograph picks.
Dear Photograph, I�m so proud my boys childhood dreams were made of bravery, honor and valor. Fifteen years later, dreams really do come true. Nancy
