Aperture
is a not-for-profit foundation based in New York which was created in 1952 by
photographers and writers as “common ground for the advancement of
photography,” They produce, publish, and
present a program of photography projects. Aperture posts daily photography of
authors on the blog. In addition to posting, they publish four issues for
magazine each year and about twelve and fifteen new photobooks. It is a growing
digital publishing program. Aperture’s projects and programs are made possible
by the support of their company. It is for the photo community. It is little
bit complicated to find your topic because they feature a lot of theme on the
homepage.
This blog is a piece of from a longer essay included in Site
Specific: Photographs of Olivio Barbieri in Aperture magazine. This article is
written by Christopher Phillips. He is one of the world’s most restless
photographers. He mentions “the city as an avatar of itself.” He pictured more than forty of the world’s
cities from a helicopter hovering.
Then, he believed the aim of Site Specific was not to
produce an objective document of the world’s cities but to somehow push
photography’s language into new territory.
I was interested at urban photos of some countries taken by
him. Also, I was surprised at his term of viewing urban cities into both, good
and bad points.
