From Wikipedia...

LIFE: 100 Photographs That Changed The World is a collection of photographs accumulated by the editors of LIFE.

The project began with an on-line question posted on Life's website and The Digital Journalist: Can photographs create the same historical effect as literature? Based on the responses, the editors compiled 100 photographs that they felt portrayed technological photographic achievements, documentation of historic events and accomplishments, or have achieved iconic cultural and symbolic status. The book was edited by Robert Sullivan, and published by Time Inc. Home Entertainment, New York, New York, in 2003. ISBN 1-931933-84-7

The work is divided into four major chapters and three accompanying subsections. The major quarters: The Arts (concentrating on photography’s evolution throughout the 19th Century, and its later application to cultural exploitation); Society (documenting images that captured moments that shifted public acquaintance with political, social, cultural, and environmental issues); War (pivotal moments of conflict and associated violence); and Science and Nature (capturing technological triumphs, defeats, and horrors). The three subsections: Photographic Art (early works of artists whose primary medium was photography); Trick Photography (infamous scams perpetrated through photographs); and Stop Action (photos that are in fact captures taken from film).

Some of the included photos are identified with larger events, such as H.S. Wong’s 1937 photograph of a lone child crying at a demolished train station on "Bloody Saturday" as representative of the entire bombing of Shanghai. Other photographs are excerpts from larger historic collections, such as Roger Fenton's and Alexander Gardner's respective groundbreaking documentations of the Crimean War and American Civil War. Margin notes document the circumstantial background of many photographs, as well as instances where the images have been accused of being staged.

Nuit Blanche Toronto 2008

On Saturday, October 4, 2008 close to a million traveler took to Toronto's streets to participate in this playful sunset-to-sunrise celebration of contemporary art.

For one sleepless night, residents and visitors explored unique areas of the city, or encountered familiar destinations transformed by artists.

This event brought together the exceptional talents of more than 750 artists and curators, 450 docents and volunteers, 92 galleries, museums, cultural and educational institutions and neighbourhoods, and 24 corporate sponsors and media partners.

Personally, I was disappointed with the event. Being a first timer, I wasn't really impressed with the "art" that was being showcased. And I'm putting it very lightly.

Here are most of the pictures I took at the event, which shows how "un-photogenic" these "arts" were...

Come to think of it, I'm really not too sure what to say about myself. I guess it could be because my perception of myself seems to be very different than how others see me.

It's really great to be a member of AnD and keep track of my favorite entertainer (2R is my fav), but what's even better about this place is that it allows an average joe like myself to flex my artistic and creative muscles. I've been an amature photographer for 1, 2, 5...7 months now, but I have always been intersted in photography. With the invention of digital photogrpahy, I can now fully explore my artistic side.

I will be posting my pictures here on AnD, so for those of you who does check out my page, feel free to offer your feedback and comments!

I'll see you guys (and gals)!
