Life underwater

The twentieth century was undoubtedly a century of all sorts of inventions and people believed they need to come up with new lifestyle. While doing so they really invented some really cool stuff, but also they came up with some pretty stupid ones. Here in these photos below you can see how they thought life would look like if people lived underwater.

Generation gap in Russia

These great photos come from the “Life in Russia” album of a photographer Alexey Petrosian that became popular by his photography of St. Petersburg and now continues in the same manner. He takes photos of Russian people in the streets and he makes simple observations of their emotions, feelings, generation gap and differences in beliefs of young and old people when it comes to politics, and life in general. Theses are very moving photos and I hope you’ll enjoy watching them.

Children of war

The generation, born from 1928 to 1945 didn’t have a childhood, it was stolen from them by those sad years of World War II. They are also called “Children of the Great Patriotic War”, but there’s nothing great about that if you ask me. All I can see on these images are sadness, orphans, dead people and grief. Take a deep breath and have a look at these disturbing black and white historic images.

Reminders of the Past – Photos by Burt Glinn

Burt Glinn or Burton Samuel Glinn (July 23, 1925-April 9, 2008) was an American professional photographer who worked with Magnum Photos. He covered revolutionary leader Fidel Castro’s entrance into Havana, Cuba, and photographed people such as Andy Warhol and Helen Frankenthaler. Glinn’s photos show such things as the social scene of the rich, the dirtiness of politics, and the humorous flotilla that called itself the Seattle Tubing Society.

The African tribe of hadza

Hadza, the indigenous people of northern Tanzania, live in the province of Arusha, Singida and Shinyanga near the Lake of Eyasi. They talk on the isolated eponymous language. Traditional clothing for women – leather apron, men – an apron and belt of modesty. They are usually walking barefoot and in the transitions from burrs they wear sandals. Families of Hadza form small, nomadic groups. Typically, the transition to a new location takes place once every two weeks. The composition of such groups is not constant, at the request of their members, they may be combined or separated. The territories occupied by communities or “resident groups” have no clear boundaries, virtually every Hadza may live, hunt and gather food, where desired. In the dry season Hadza live together in groups of 100-200 people, and in the rainy season – re-live separate communities.

America and Russia – now and then

A good photography can sometimes really stop time, capture a moment and preserve it for future generations. And slowly as everything else changes and fells a part the scene captured in that picture will remain forever the same. It is extremely exciting to look at old pictures like this and then compare the way something looked like in the past and the way it looks now.

Moving portraits by Mehmet Akin

Mehmet Akin is doctor/photographer from Turkey, Izmir. He’s 50 years old and as I said before, taking photos isn’t his first vocation, but nevertheless he does it amazingly well. His basic muse and inspiration is his homeland, Turkey with its breathtaking landscapes and its wonderful people. Here you can have a look at some samples of the portraits that he has taken of old people in his country. They are very moving and you can see the mark of time on their faces. It’s almost like every face is telling his own story and testifying that human destiny (kismet) is a thing greater than human himself.
