Lost America.

Surfing on the net, I found this website. The photographer, Troy Paiva, has explored the abandoned underbelly of America since the 1970s. Since 1989 he’s been taking pictures of it. These photographs are “Lost America”.

He mostly shoot during the night, by using different techniques and even “drawing with light”. Some pictures are amazing!

PhotoBooth

Have you ever been in a photo booth? If you do not have anything better to do every single day before going work, you can go to your nearest photo booth and have a picture taken. But have to do it for at least seven years. But you will not be the first one to do it…

Juan Pablo Echeverri is having an exhibition at The Photographers Gallery with his passport photos, result of his daily visits to a photography studio. Accumulating over seven years this ongoing – perhaps lifelong – work uses both repetition and performance.

Those photos are included in the exhibition called Once more, with feeling. Recent photography from Colombia. Until 15 June at The Photographers Gallery London.
