Beautiful campaign for a Brazilian diving school. Not only are the shots beautiful, I love how they capture people, with no equipment, and the waves about and around them. It's a really, really nice departure from fish, coral and shit.
Update: Over a year later and I just found out - thanks to the excellent The Fox is Black - that the photos are by Mark Tipple. Check the link for lots more.
I've got a big thing for America. Spent three months driving across it way back in '99 and started a love affair that I'm pretty sure will always be with me. A large part of is it for old America; ghost towns, the Depression, the 20s, the 40s, and for the South and the West. As much as it is backward in some places, in others, it's breathtakingly beautiful. I hope to be headed out there again late this year or next, and I already can not wait. Anywho, lifestory aside, these are some gorgeous photos taken by the Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information. They "...are some of the only color photographs taken of the effects of the Depression on America’s rural and small town populations."
This is just a selection To see them all head to Captured: America in Color from 1939-1943.
Big thanks to Jennie.
Great photos by Leonard Freed who joined the NYPD on the beat at one of New York city's lowest points.
Thanks to Dan for these.
