How cool would it be if you could take your photos that you have on Flickr and "place" them three-dimensionally into a map like Google Earth.
The Interactive Media Division at the University of Southern California are working on such an ambitious project. They have called it "Viewfinder". Once fully developed, Viewfinder aims to provide the possibility to superimpose your images into a 3D map and even overlay historic images over their present day locations.

I stumbled on Brent Stirton the other day- a truly amazing photographer from South Africa, who spends a lot of time traveling and shooting for, amongst other institutions, the Global Business Coalition against Aids and for the World Wildlife Fund.
His photos are often disturbing and sad in their depiction of reality and unwanted truths, and capture athmosphere and situations with a close and unfiltered eye.
He has won a series of acclaimed prizes for his work.

The Portuguese photographer Edgar Martins is releasing his book 'Topologies' in May. The book includes selections from each of his major series of large-scale photographs. Martins frequently takes shots of barren, uninhabited landscape scenes that are solemnly beautiful and quiet. He is also interested in the leftovers of modern society, abandoned and disused structures that he portrays as landscape elements in their own right.
