• no knock room 10/31/06 
  Description: an open door to contemporary art (Flash)
  Comments: Just launched this month, its "main objective is to support young talented artists" whose works remain "undiscovered from the media and art magazines." Started by 22-year-old Bia Lamarca, an art lover studying Cultural Assets at the University of Salerno, with the help of a team of contributors, the project features the works of dozens of artists along with background information, interviews, and links – a contemporary art portal with "a lot of brilliant works" indeed!
   
• blog.bsing.net 10/29/06 
  Description: projects and curiosities
  Comments: A co-founder of "a group of artists, activists and technologists who are making their own style of beta tests, trial runs and impact assessments based on independent research," Brooke Singer is a digital media artist and Assistant Professor of New Media at a New York college. Her site is not only a blog dealing with emerging technologies, but also a springboard to a number of interesting (and relevant) projects she's been involved with. And on the fun side in one her more distant projects, you're even invited to participate in circulating mundane imagery!"

  Description: Athens-based photoblog
  Comments: Thanos studied photography in both Athens and London and living in Greece is certainly an advantage – a beautiful place indeed. I really like this shot too. And though I can't read Greek, he's got yet.anotherblog – here's an image from there I found thought-provoking. Enjoy... 
   
• Subjektiv 10/27/06 
  Description: photography by Sigrid Kleinecke and Kurt Tutschek
  Comments: When I'm out there seeking visual cool, it's kind of nice when the most recent photo is this good – an instant realization I've struck gold. In the case of today's pick, that's just one of many magical shots. Like Mission to Mars and Fabienne for example. Sigrid and Kurt take great photos. Period. Of course, I'll admit that's a highly subjektiv thing to say...;~)) 
   
• Emily Keegin 10/26/06 
  Description: photography
  Comments: Pink balloons next to the front door. A series of shots of someone doing handstands in the pool. Studies of soap relics. A day at the beach. Lull (my favorite series). Emily's imaginative photographs are very personal glimpses into the people and places in and around her life. And what at first may seem quite mundane can be most engaging...;~))  [Heavy Backpack]
   
• photo.grapf 10/23/06 
  Description: images telling stories
  Comments: "He is taking photographs, because he wants to tell stories." Grapf's Berlin guide, featured back in April, continues to be regularly updated with photos reflecting his fascination with Berlin. I guess you could call today's pick his main photoblog with more an assortment of themes and locales, aimed at telling stories. It's been online a bit longer than the other site, but just like the other, its photos are wonderful! "Grapf is trying to give back to the world, what he sees and what he gets - just reflected in images." Thank you.

  Description: streetlife, people, BW, shadow and reflection
  Comments: Yesterday, it was cityshapes that drew me in, while today, it's cityscapes. Is this a beautiful photo or what? Born in Vietnam, now living in The Netherlands, the guy behind the site has been "shooting since 2002" in beautiful places like Venice and other European cities – some great black & white pics too...

  Description: photography and (web)design
  Comments: He's into (web)design. In fact, Simone and his girlfriend are the creators of freshcut, a tasty online magazine reviewed earlier this year. He's also into photography! "After some different experiences I finally found photography as my definitive passion..." I was tickled when Simone contributed to Decay and have been meaning to point you to his great cityshapes (and other things).

  Description: photos, mostly shot with film, from Kawasaki, Japan
  Comments: Today's pick features some outstanding street photos from Japan, mostly shot with film in black & white. Among my favorites – the corridor of time and an amazing pic of a bird in flight...
   
• Luna 10/10/06 
  Description: an international association of photographers dedicated to creating engaged and responsible photographic coverage of contemporary social issues (Flash)
  Comments: "It's a beautiful thing, a heart that beats 110 times a minute out of love for others." That's from Grandparents, one of the many reportage series. And in the books, a series about the Orphans of AIDS in South Africa is chilling. "The nation is overwhelmed." An association of seven French photojournalists is behind the site with their lenses pointing to "contemporary social issues." Extraordinary content throughout plus Round Luna, a downloadable PDF (with a most unique interface) featuring more works from the collective...
   
• dns digital dia-a-dia 10/9/06 
  Description: photo diary
  Comments: I like the simple interface to Denis' day-to-day photos – 6 years of snapshots neatly organized in a single page presentation. Much like a diary or journal with words would, the collection of small snapshots provides quick glimpses into his life and interests – his children, music, the outdoors, street scenes – very much a visual diary with some really cool shots. And there's a lot more here...
   
• clairobscur 10/6/06 
  Description: photos from Tahiti, New Zealand, Australia, and other places...
  Comments: There's photos taken in the American Southwest as well as New York and places closer to home, like New Zealand and Tahiti. I found the urban gallery most exciting – wigwams, fine wine, and other colorful things...  [VFXY]
   
• Breathing Earth 10/5/06 
  Description: visual, real-time simulation of the carbon dioxide emission rates, birth rates, and death rates of every country in the world (Flash)
  Comments: 190 people born. 69 people died. 29000 tons of carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere. Worldwide in just one minute. Noting it's "only a simulation" but based on real data, today's pick presents figures in real-time for all countries in the world (a few 'tinier' nations lack data and have to be estimated). Impressive Flash presentation, though a bit wider than many (if not most) users' screen resolutions.

  Description: illustration (Flash)
  Comments: "I stand alone but so connected." The artist in her twenties possesses curious creativity. Her showcase of unique black & white line drawings is full of magnificent characters and odd critters...;~))
