Photographer Justin Bettman Creates Sets From Discarded Furniture On NYC’s Streets

     I love this post by IGNANT.de! New York photographer Justin Bettman and stylist Gozde Eker have created unique sets right on the sidewalks of New York City inviting everyone to shoot their own photos and share them on instagram with the hashtag #setinthestreet. One of their more recent sets that they built was created for one of their followers Jose Luis who wrote to Justin asking him to build a set so that he could propose to his girlfriend. View the video of the coverage of the event.

              Justin Bettman recently built a set for Jose Luis who wrote him a hopeful email saying that he wanted to propose to his girlfriend in one of his sets. View the making-of video for this memorable moment below.

18 vintage photos from 110 years of the New York subway

Board the nostalgia express with these photos of the age-old subway system and her retro rides of yesteryear

   I would like to show the photos that have been taken for over 100 years. It's very interesting and cool. Beneath the streets of New York City lies one of the largest metro systems in the world, spanning over 660 miles of track, boasting 468 stations, transporting over 5 million people a day, and being the best designated driver a city could ask for. After living in New York for a while, it's hard to be a good commuter on the crowded trains, but these images might just have you rekindling your love for MTA all over again. Although some subway stations need some repairs, the future is bright for the system with features like digital metro cards, more WiFi enabled stations, and the long awaited artsy Second Ave subway line; but until then, enjoy our favorite photos from the subway and the trains of the past 110 years of service.

The Sartorialist Creator

Today...I would like you to meet the creator of The Sartorialist!! which is one of my favorite fashion website and help me open to the world of fashion.

Founder/blogger/photographer Scott Schuman began The Sartorialist with the idea of creating a two-way dialogue about the world of fashion and its relationship to daily life.

In addition to the blog, Schuman’s work has been featured in GQ, Vogue Italia, Vogue Paris, andInterview; for GQ, Schuman shot and edited his own page for over three years.

Schuman has appeared in national ad campaigns for The Gap and Verizon, and collaborated with Kiehl’s on an exclusively commissioned product and campaign surrounding Father’s Day.

Nespresso, DKNY Jeans, Gant, OVS, Crate & Barrel, and Absolut have all commissioned ad campaigns. Burberry, meanwhile, tapped Schuman to shoot the groundbreaking social media-cum-advertising “Art of the Trench” project.

In 2009 Penguin published an anthology of his images that has sold well over 100,000 copies to date and been translated into languages from English to Korean. Its limited-run Bespoke Edition sold out in less than three months.

His work resides in the permanent collections of the Victoria & Albert Museum and the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography.
