Get photo prints of “Gay Head lighthouse, Aquinnah, Martha’s Vineyard.” in a variety of frames, styles, and materials. Photographer Bio Alfred Eisenstaedt (1898-1995), or Eisie to those who knew him, received his first camera as a gift from his uncle at 14, a few years after moving to Berlin from Poland with his family. At 17, he was drafted to the German army. His interest in photography blossomed while recovering from a shrapnel wound. He became a regular at museums, studying light and composition. By 31, he was a full-time photographer. In 1933 he was sent to Italy where he shot the first meeting between Hitler and Mussolini. Two years later, when Hitler came to power, Eisie immigrated to America. Soon after arriving in New York, he was hired along with three other photographers-Margaret Bourke-White, Thomas McAvoy and Peter Stackpole-by Time Inc. founder Henry Luce for a secret start-up venture known as “Project X.” Six months later, Life magazine premiered on November 23, 1936. The first issue sold for 10 cents and featured five pages of Eisie’s pictures. His most famous photo was the kiss in Times Square on V-J day, about which he said, “I was running along the street grabbing any and every girl in sight. Whether she was a grandmother, stout, thin, old, didn’t make any difference. None of the pictures that were possible pleased me. Then, suddenly in a flash I saw something white being grabbed. I turned and clicked the moment the sailor kissed the nurse.” Over his career, Eisie shot a total of nearly 100 covers for Life magazine and some 10,000 prints. The Life Picture Collection From one of the most iconic magazines ever to hit the shelves comes The Life Collection – an archive of some of the most recognizable imagery of the 20th Century. Documenting events in politics, culture, celebrity, the arts and the American experience, these compelling and provocative photographs include the works of some of the greatest photographers capturing some of the greatest moments in history.

Learn How to Use My Photographic Memory

Posted on September 25, 2016 by ShutterBug

I used to believe that brain power was more of a term you gave to some Nasa Astronaut referring to how “brainy” they must already be to take on such a brain intensive training regime…

Truth is Astronauts are taught How to Develop their Photographic Memory as a compulsory part of their training. In order for them to be able to store and retrieve massive amounts of vital and intricate information, they certainly need this skill.

We can all decide to take on and hold more information. In fact you only have to put aside about 10 minutes a day to start developing your Photographic Memory and achieve outstanding results… it really is this easy.

For the most of us we may remember learning some Photographic Memory Skills at a very young age.

I remember how I learned to recognize the alphabet…my teacher would say “D” is for…Dog…I learned very quickly to use association to remember the alphabet this way, you probably did too.

So if we start to use association in everyday things as often as we can we will start to Develop Our Photographic Memory very rapidly indeed.

So Perhaps Start with something Simple…

For example if you are not so good at remembering names and you are about to meet a new group of people, first just try and remember as many names as possible

1. Look the person in the eye and repeat their name immediately. Hi “Roy” nice to meet you.

2. Try to repeat their name again at least once without sounding unnatural, “look Roy nice to finally meet you” or something…

3. Use some form of “visual” association immediately. For example…”Roy is a Boy” …maybe more creative than that…or you could imagine ROY tattooed on his forehead etc

The thing is you can make your own rules on how you do this … If you make it fun then chances are you will remember it easily.

So the next time you want to remember something attach some kind of feeling to it, this will help you when you need to recall it again. Once you use association – the brain then neatly stores it in the filing cabinet (memory) where it can easily be retrieved when called upon.

house calls with william carlos williams md


New When they ask me, as of late they frequently do, how I have for so many years continued an equal interest in medicine and the poem, I reply that they amount for me to nearly the same thing. -William Carlos Williams William Carlos Williams made his mark on the world as a legendary modernist poet, but he filled an equally significant role on a local level in his native New Jersey-as a doctor. Over the first half of the twentieth century, Williams built a successful practice as a pediatrician and OB-GYN, and while some of his patients made the journey to his office in the affluent town of Rutherford, many more were privileged with house calls. House Calls with William Carlos Williams, MD is a collaborative effort by child psychiatrist Robert Coles and photographer Thomas Roma to retrace Dr. Williams’ rounds, which included patients from Rutherford all the way north to Paterson. Coles, an early fan of the doctor’s literary work, befriended Williams as a young man, and in the early 50s was invited to come along on many of these outings; his experiences are recounted here in engaging first-person anecdotes. Roma was given access to the patients’ addresses in 2001, and plotted a route he would travel with his camera over the course of the next five years; his quiet, contemplative photographs of the streets Dr. Williams walked provide a striking visual counterpoint to Coles’ text. Selections of Williams’ poetry are reproduced throughout, including excerpts from his five-part epic, Paterson. The result is an immersive experience, in which the reader may travel side-by-side with Williams, listening and learning from the famed poet, doctor, and mentor.

How to fill the walls of your home with photographed memories

Posted on September 23, 2016 by ShutterBug

As a documentary photographer in love with shooting real, un-posed moments, I hear these laments from clients often: “Oh, how I love this photo, but I just don’t know how I would display it!” or “I love candid photos, but I need a posed family portrait for the wall.”

While every mom (including myself!) loves a good posed family portrait and certainly should have one or more on their wall, you can also have beautiful, moment-filled walls in your home. Imagine being surrounded daily with your all-time favorite memories: summer sprinkler runs, fall leaf piles, winter snow angels, and spring puddling jumping, right where you can see them every day. I’ve welcomed these memories into my home, and you can too. Here’s how I display candid, joyful moments all over my house!

The Framed Gallery Wall

Above the couch in our main living room, I have twelve 8x10s of my favorite images from the past year framed and matted. I switch them out only once per year, so it’s really hard to choose!

In Lightroom, I make a collection and fill it with some of my favorite images from the year. Then I narrow down the moments so that they span the seasons, show a mix of my kids alone and together, and look good as a set. I find that, for above a couch, 8x10s are still a little small, so I tend to choose clean images with contrasting colors and uncluttered compositions for this collection.

The Bulletin Board

While I love my gallery wall, I shoot a lot. I wanted a way that I could enjoy more of our favorite moments on the wall – something with lots of space that would enable me to frequently change out the photos. The bulletin board is the answer!

The board holds seventy-seven 4×4 square prints. It’s in our kitchen, right above the table, so it often serves as the centerpiece of our dinner conversation. One child will pick out a photo that had previously gone unnoticed and say, “Remember when….”, and we’re off. It’s a lovely backdrop for a place we gather daily.

I change the bulletin board more often – either 3 or 4 times per year, so that it stays fresh and relevant. I used to order new pictures after each season of shooting and display them in the following season. But that proved to be too much work in culling, ordering, and changing the display. Now I order all my photos for the whole year in the summer (the twelve 8x10s for the Gallery Wall and more than three hundred 4×4 square prints for the bulletin board).

When I get the piles of square prints from our daily life, I just rubber band them together according to the four seasons. This way, I display last autumn as we experience this autumn, and I have last year’s winter all separated and ready to display when I start to wish for snow and hot chocolate! The entire family enjoys looking back at last year’s memories. It reminds us of things we want to be sure to do again and shows the kids how much they’ve grown since last year. We are in a constant state of looking back and moving forward. After all, what are photo stories for if not to remind us of our shared history?

Photo Ledges

And finally, in a spot tucked high up in our attic library are some of my favorite prints for me as an artist. They are 5×5 textured matte prints from Artifact Uprising. These thick, gorgeous prints are a pleasure to hold and a treat when they arrive in my mailbox! I used four Ikea 40 inch photo ledges to display them.

When I build a set of images I would like printed this way, I am always inspired to choose my favorite work. Of course, most of my favorite work still includes my kids, but it also includes sunrises, spider webs, and the light on the wall. The attic library is my special place, and these prints simply make me happy. What also makes me happy is the ability the ledges give me to rearrange, switch out, order varied sizes, or give a print as a gift whenever I want.

I can’t begin to express the feelings of happiness and gratitude these moment-based prints bring to my family and I every day. It’s a physical reminder that even when we are knee-deep in the hard parts, there is still so much beauty and so much for which to be thankful. I encourage you to go out and curate your own walls of memories!

Here’s how I display candid, joyful moments all over my house! After all, what are photo stories for if not to remind us of our shared history?
