What if one day the photographer was the main figure in front of the camera, and not behind it? This is Tim Mantoani project, who since 2005 has been shooting photographers and their favourite, or most iconic, pictures in polaroid format. This project now is a book, Behind the Photographs, which has more than 200 pages of photographs and their stories, which are written by the photographers who took them. You can buy it here.
Some examples below, and to get more info, watch the video.

Foi lançado ontem o trailer do filme “Les Miserables”, dirigido por Tom Hooper, mesmo diretor de o “Discurso do Rei”, desta vez com Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway e Russell Crowe. Considerado por Stuart Heritage, do Guardian, como “um dos trailers mais deprimentes de todos os tempos”, ele jurou ficar na cama por dias. “Eu era feliz 90 segundos atrás. Agora estou deprimido por causa desse trailer”. Felizmente, o filme só estreia no Brasil em março de 2013.
Se o trailer aí de cima já foi bizarro, que tal “Spectrum”, o clipe que foi lançado hoje estrelando Florence Welch, do Florence+ The Machine? O que vem primeiro: a música ou a alegoria? Não dá mais para saber. As referências são claras: as bailarinas de Cisne Negro estão de volta, além de uma (falha) tentativa de utilizar como referência o vídeo da revista britânica LOVE. Acidentalmente, o visual do clipe também me lembrou muito o filme da década de 90 “Priscila, a Rainha do Deserto”. Será que ninguém descobriu que menos é mais? As roupas, o cenário, a coreografia, a música…não sei, ficou tudo muito drag queen.

Os quadros de Dylan em exposição na National Gallery of Denmark
As some of you might know, Bob Dylan has been doing more than music and books these days, he’s been sketching as well. He said he has always been a lover of the fine arts and was friends with artists for all his life. In the past few years, his passion has produced a book, full of illustrations from canvases he created inspired on brazilian landscapes.
Yes, his book, called “The Brazil Series” is a result of his drawings of brazilian culture (including slums and urban landscapes). The drawings were exhibited in Copenhagen last year. Apparently, the critics liked his new form of expression, and the fans did too. So, if you don’t know his works yet, have a look:
