Cargo Ship Photography By Dimitris Tamvakos

Posted By Mark on Mar 1, 2014

A great little photographic discovery recently – and not street photography for once, you may or may not be pleased to know – on Flickr was the photography of Dimitris Tamvakos. Hailing from Athens, Dimitris travels the world on cargo ships and takes photos that appeal to my gritty, industrial heart. There’s a beauty in metal, rust, and machinery that you either love or hate but whatever your opinion of that particular aesthetic is you can’t deny there’s something else fantastically powerful in these photographs: the sense of scale of industry and the world and, more than that, the loneliness. You get a sense of quiet in these pictures even as you imagine each one is accompanied by constant noise. By far my favourite types of photos that Dimitris takes are the ones that show the crew areas of the ships. I love the colours, the lights, and the dated, spartan feel to everything. Wonderfully atmospheric photos from Dimitris Tamvakos. Check out the rest of his photostream on...

The Bear Tree

Posted By Mark on Feb 1, 2014

Bears grow well in temperate climates but it's when you get greater than average rainfall – such as that currently otherwise blighting the south of England – that the crops really thrive. Over the past few months one of the largest sectors for employment growth has been for bear pickers as it's vitally important to make sure every last one is plucked from the bear tree branches at just the right time; the only drawback to bumper bear growths is that those that ripen and fall to the ground naturally often go on to terrorise neighbourhoods, savage locals, and – worst of all – steal pic-a-nic baskets.

The Mirror

Posted By Mark on Jan 23, 2014

A mirror can add a lot to a photograph. It can add depth or light or the presence of something you wouldn't normally be able to see. It can double the appearance of something key to the composition. It can change the angle of some object. It can flip part of the image and force you to look at it in a different way. For me, though, probably the best thing a mirror brings to a photograph is evidence that you're not a few feet from a vampire. This guy in this photo: he's not a vampire. Good work mirror.
