Scraps from the internet: Photos from 70's & 80's New York

So this got posted up on one of the forums I use daily, and I thought they were great. Photos from New York in the 80's and 70's. Now I'm way too young to have visited New York in that era, but I have been in the last few years. Its mad to think how much it seems to have change. I absolutely love it as a city and can't wait to go back, but looking at these photos its crazy to think how much of a different time it was thirty years ago.

Photographs: 2 Week tour of Japan

So, at the end of April I went on a tour of Japan, covering Tokyo, Kyoto, Takayama, Hiroshima and a few other day trips out. Its been a long while coming, but I've finally edited all my photos and uploaded. I have to say I absolutely adored Japan, its a strange country, but at the same time not too disimilar to the UK. I definately want to go back, certainly to spend more time in Tokyo. All images were shot on my new Nikon D800 that I bought just before going away, and Japan was the first real test. If it can serve me as well and for as long as my D200 did (well still does, I'm keeping it for festivals etc), than judging from my first experience, I'm really going to love my D800 A couple of shots:

Scraps from the internet: Photos of a Jewish ghetto taken by Hitler's photographer.

These striking images have been posted up on U75, from the Daily Mail website. As I totally refuse to post a link to the Daily Mail, I've posted the link to the original Life magazine link.

These colour photos were taken by Hugo Jaeger, Hitlers personal photographer who normally spent his time glorifying the Fuhrer, however in these images he seems to have taken an interest in the prisoners in this Jewish ghetto.

Scraps from the internet: The unseen Gulf War

Another link post about Photography on urban75 again today entitled 'The unseen Gulf war'. To put it bluntly these are images that you wouldn't really see in the papers, but certainly important and overlooked in exposing the true horrors of war.

Thanks to weltweit on u75.
