Pretty Puke a.k.a. Miller Rodriguez is a guy whose photos I really like - super low brow and super great (How does he know so many superfreaks? How can I attend one of the man’s parties?). I’ve been wondering for some time who he is and this week, VICE has featured his photos as something distinctive - which they are.  He has a lot of photos that I look at and think “What the hell is going on here?” Not all of them looked staged. He used to take a picture of a person, often a stranger to him, then post a number of facts about the person, showing that he had been really listening to whatever their story was. www.prettypuke.com

Alec Soth from the Niagara photoset Alec Soth has taken a group of photos of Niagara Falls that tells a somewhat tacky, run down story of love lost and love found through found letters, pictures of couples, motel exteriors and the odd shot of the falls. The combined effect is compelling. - Alec Soth also runs this blog, which has some black and whites you might like. - More found letters and the like at www.foundhandwriting.com

Stéphane Goin, photos from Made in USA and 15000 Miles. Stéphane is from France and is into oldtimers, signs, cars, diner cars, old gas stations and everything that represents the spirit of Americana. He usually visits five or six states over the course of his summer vacation, switches off his cell phone during his stay to just to feel the land and not be disturbed. He rents a car then drives, drives, drives. - Many of his pictures contain themes I am interested in.  Related: Night Cars Gas stations - Other roadtrippers: Joel Meyerowitz Steve Fitch Jeff Brouws Keith Davis Young Jason Koxvold Steven Shore William Eggleston Ali Bosworth Frank Breuer Frank Gohlke Rob Kalmbach Melodie McDaniel Joe Sternfeld Drew Kelly’s Explorations Werner Amann’s Surf Fiction Tons of Land no travels but Americana in the South.

Ultraviolet Beauties is a series of works by artist Cara Phillips that shows pigmentation beneath the skins’ surface with ultraviolet photography. By using this technique, which simulates a dermatological test, we are able to see the invisible damage caused by the sun.

Pictures taken around the world of children and their bedrooms. “Where Children Sleep is about stories of diverse children around the world, told through portraits and pictures of their bedrooms. I found myself thinking about my bedroom: how significant it was during my childhood, and how it reflected what I had and who I was. My thinking was that the bedroom pictures would be inscribed with the children’s material. The book is written and presented for an audience of 9-13 year olds ‘ intended to interest and engage children in the details of the lives of other children around the world.” - Related, Rania Matar’s series A Girl and Her Room

NASA’s Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity, Endeavour Crater, Mars, January 27, 2012 One of the greatest photographic projects of our time, the two Mars Exploration Rovers landed in 2004 with nine cameras on board. There have been 3D photographs, simulated color panoramas, and grainy navigation photos. The rover Spirit accumulated 128,000 images, Opportunity has sent back 169,000 and is still going. Few artists have approached this archive (Thomas Ruff comes to mind, but his Mars work seems to be from orbit, via the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter). Just in the way Michael Light explored and reprinted selections from the Apollo archive, it would be wonderful to see what Robert Adams, Lewis Baltz, Mark Klett, Todd Hido, Sally Mann, Rinko Kawauchi, Richard Misrach or Naoya Hatakeyama would find in there. The Curiosity rover is powered by plutonium, which gives it minimum of 14 years of power. If tonight’s landing is successful, it could send back several million photographs over the next decades.
