Jan 27th, 2013 at 9:00AM: ARTSPACE London is one of London's lesser-known art venues for out-of-town visitors. It opened in May of 2012 and focuses on Modern and Contemporary Arab, Iranian and Turkish art. The original ARTSPACE is in Dubai, and the owners decided to open a London branch to expose these Eastern artists to a Western audience.
The latest London exhibition is of Iraqi photographer Halim Al Karim, opening ...Photo Gallery: Abandoned Amusement Park
Nov 11th, 2012 at 3:00PM:
Is there anything more creepy than an abandoned amusement park? Because everything I find truly perverse and creepy pretty much goes hand in hand with abandoned amusement parks.
That's why the below gallery by Kansas photographer Brandon Vogt is so powerful. Vogt visited Joyland (an oxymoron if ever there was one), a shuttered theme park in Wichita, KS, and shot a series of 33 haunting ...Traveling Photo Exhibit Shows A Different Side Of Afghanistan
Aug 28th, 2012 at 12:00PM: Beauty often isn't the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Afghanistan. However, a new traveling photo exhibit from non-profit organization Mountain2Mountain aims to change that.
"Streets of Afghanistan" features life-size images from both Afghan and Western photographers that challenge the perceptions most people hold about this complex country. The intention is not only to ...Gadling Gear Review: Joby Gorillapod SLR-Zoom
Apr 3rd, 2012 at 8:00AM: The advent of inexpensive point-and-shoot and SLR cameras had turned us all into travel photographers and has made documenting our journeys easier than ever. Capturing just the right shot still takes plenty of practice and skill, however, and occasionally it is nice to have a tripod in our packs to assist in that area. Unfortunately, traditional tripods can be heavy, bulky and inflexible, which ...Images of Paris in La Belle Époque
Jun 7th, 2011 at 9:00AM: Paris has always captured the imagination with its architectural beauty and interesting inhabitants. La Belle Époque from the late 19th century to the start of World War One is considered a high point of Parisian life, and this life was captured by an eccentric photographer named Eugène Atget.
Atget started taking photographs of Paris in the 1890s. Working in the early hours of ..."Extreme Exposure" photography exhibit to open in Los Angeles
Sep 26th, 2010 at 8:00AM: A new group photography exhibit is set to open at the Annenberg Space in Los Angeles this October that will spotlight the work of five artists who specialize in shooting environmental, wildlife, and climate imagery. The exhibition is entitled "Extreme Exposures" and will feature visually stunning photographs from some of the most remote and demanding environments on the planet. Many of these ...The photographer who changed the way we see the world
Sep 14th, 2010 at 1:00PM:
We've all seen them, those grainy series of black and white images showing animals walking or nude people climbing stairs or jumping. They've been used in art pieces, music videos, and are part of our visual heritage, but what are they all about?
A new exhibition at London's Tate Britain tells the story of the photographer who took these enduring images. Eadweard Muybridge was a British ...Outside Magazine offers photography workshop in Santa Fe
Sep 9th, 2010 at 8:00AM: This October, Outside Magazine will give amateur and professional shutterbugs the chance to hone their skills by working with some of the best photographers in the business today. The iconic adventure mag is hosting a 4-day long workshop in Santa Fe, New Mexico that promises to blend classroom instruction, in depth discussion, and real world application with a sharp focus on improving your ...Flickr's New York: A tale of two cities
Jun 9th, 2010 at 5:00PM: Tourists photograph Midtown and Lower Manhattan, while locals click their cameras in the East Village and Chinatown. So, it's clear: tourists and locals don't mix in New York.
Eric Fischer, a computer program, used geotagging data from Flickr and Picasa to plot maps of New York and 71 other cities, using a system he created for determining which shutterbugs are locals and which are from out of ...Five reasons to leave your camera at home
Feb 2nd, 2010 at 11:30AM: When packing for that dream trip, a camera is usually high on the list of essential items. Actually, it's not as important as some people think. Here are five reasons to leave your camera at home.
One less thing to worry about

Jul 30th, 2009 at 10:30AM: I'm in the middle of a crazy travel time: I've been to both New York and Chicago in the past two weeks, and there doesn't seem to be much relief in sight in the upcoming 2 or 3 months: Portland, Atlanta, London and Paris are all distinct possibilities. And while being away from my family for all of these trips doesn't please me in the least, I can't help but be a little excited at the prospect of ...Through the Gadling Lens: the photoblogs of our Gadling photo pool contributors
Mar 19th, 2009 at 11:00AM: Never let it be said that we don't have amazing photographers who contribute to our Gadling Flickr pool. One of my favourite things to do is to just scroll through all the striking images -- or better still, do searches within the pool for images of any of my upcoming travel destinations. Every time I do, I always learn something: something about a far-off land or culture, or I pick up a new trick ...Spencer Tunick: Nudes, landscapes and global warming
Dec 28th, 2007 at 8:30AM: At a recent trip to my son's dentist, I was flipping through the latest issue of Time Magazine and came across a photo of hundreds of nude people standing on Aletsch Glacier in Switzerland. The photo was taken by Spencer Tunick on August 18 as Tunick's effort to show the vulnerability of people and the planet due to global warming--an interesting, and certainly eye catching approach.
(The photo ...Ojai Studio Tour

Oct 11th, 2007 at 12:35PM: Ojai is one of those quirky Southern California art towns where creative spirits have fled the big city and set up studios in a more copasetic environment.
This artistic oasis is located between Santa Barbara and Los Angeles and is a pleasant detour if you are driving the coastal road. If you happen to be driving this route this upcoming weekend, however, you must absolutely visit. That's ...
