Land gave the project to build the world’s first instant camera [the Model 95] the code name SX-70, indicating that it was his seventieth special experiment.
That’s awesome. (:](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lmvv03NkF21qz6thlo1_500.jpg)

Exposure: SURFER Staff Photographer Morgan Maassen on his 10 favorite shots. (via popular)
“I had desired this photo long before I had ever used a camera. The conditions came together perfectly this day to get such a clean frontside air. This was the first photo I had patiently worked for, and it represents a strong learning point in my photography.”
Gorgeous.

That hat is fairly fabulous, your majesty.
Stanley Kubrick’s Chicago, 1949 (via daringfireball)
Before he started making movies, Stanley Kubrick was a star photojournalist. In the summer of 1949, Look magazine sent him to Chicago to shoot pictures for a story called “Chicago City of Contrasts.
I’m not sure “before” is the right word; these are just single-frame movies.
The Real Places of Jane Eyre’s World: Haddon Hall
Points to you, Focus, for the mix of production stills and what look to be scout photos. I like this one best (rule of thirds!).

Shackleton’s Antarctica in colour, 1915 (via kottke)
Frank Hurley’s (official Endurance expedition photographer) color photos, saved by his “diving into mushy ice-water inside the sinking ship in October 1915.” Wow.
Best Performances (W Magazine)
Of the set this one seems apropos and too easy. That said, Stardust Pemberley would be a great band name, no?
(For no reason at all, Andrew Garfield annoys me. And I wonder how long it took to undo that ‘do.)
On the Street…Black, White, Red, Florence
Are you kidding me with that hat? Also: I don’t want to use the word, but man, that red pops.
