Bob Marley Fine Art Print Photographer, Joe Sia, captured moments by focusing on the faces of the performers, the crowd, and by giving the background, whether simple or wild, the importance it deserved in defining the artist and event.

It immediately caught my eye, not just for its dreamlike, bleached-out vision of bathers in the sea at an Italian resort, but for more personal reasons. Vitali photographs Italian beaches from a raised podium that gives his shots an epic sweep and enables him to capture the essence of holiday crowds. His art is about pleasure, hedonism and conformism. It's an art in which I recognised myself – almost literally. As it happens, I was actually part of the crowd on the beach at Cefalù in Sicily in the summer of 2008. We didn't see a man on a raised platform with a camera, and I don't seem to be in the picture. Even if I were, I'd be indistinguishable from all the other people in the pale blue sea. But it must have been taken within weeks of our being there.

The most eloquent cenotaph to the lives of Carleton Watkins and Ansel Adams is the mountains and waterfalls of Yosemite National Park. A trip to San Francisco in search of Watkins’s demolished studio or Adams’s unspectacular childhood home, on the other hand, won’t figure in many Americans’ vacation plans this year.

Ulysses S. Grant shows President Abraham Lincoln in front of the White House and could be the last image taken of him before he was assassinated in 1865. If it is indeed Lincoln, it would be the only known photo of the 16th president in front of the executive mansion and a rare find, as only about 130 photos of him are known to exist. A copy of the image was provided to The Associated Press. Grant's 38-year-old great-great-grandson, Ulysses S. Grant VI, had seen the picture before, but didn't examine it closely until late January. A tall figure in the distance caught his eye, although the man's facial features are obscured. He called Keya Morgan, a New York-based photography collector and Lincoln aficionado, who helped identify it as Lincoln. Read Article on Photo of Abraham Lincoln Could Be His Last» |
