All photos © Brian Adams. When I was first introduced to The Eskimo Cookbook, I knew that I was in possession of something precious and perhaps even sacred. The paper-and-staple cookbook written by students of the Shishmaref Day School in 1951 details traditional Native Alaskan recipes for everything from Polar Bear to Whale in the simplistic language of children; the instructions are often without measurements, cooking temperatures, or times and include hand-drawn illustrations of local plants and herbs. Weathered and yellowed from handling and a shelf-life of over sixty years, the book is fragile and feels as though it could fade away at any second, not entirely unlike Shishmaref itself, currently threatened by coastal erosion induced by climate change. – Ash Adams

Kiyutelluk Family in their home in Shishmaref, Alaska in March 2010 Morris Kiyutelluk, 71, wrote several recipes in the original Eskimo Cookbook, some of which he still prepares today. We’ll never stop <3ing our DSLR, polaroids, or film cams. But it’s our camera phone that’s always with us. Like when we spotted a pug trotting down the street sporting goggles or that guy unicycling up the steepest hill of all time. Enter Instagram. Not just another camera app or more filters for your pix. Instagram is THE way to share the fleeting moments of your life. What makes it different? It’s simple and fast. Take a photo, choose a filter (optional), you’re done. It uploads automatically. Or tap the feed and see all your friends’ everyday lives through their eyes in about 20 seconds. The lack of editing + the immediacy of phone photography makes the experience raw, addicting, and kind of magical. In short, Instagram is what the camera phone was made for.
Shishmaref, Alaska, feels as though it may as well be the edge of the world. For most of the year, the Inupiat village lies muffled beneath an eclipse of snow and ice, enclosed by a frozen sea.

Blurb to Host Free 11-day-long Photo Book Workshop in NYC OCT 20, 2010 05:30A.M.
All photos © Asger Carlsen Asger Carlsen’s Wrong project feels both very personal and universal. It seduces us by allowing ourselves to experience his own feelings. The work is in fact an expression of his own “feeling of not belonging anywhere”. At the same time we also feel repelled by the appeal of work. This is strictly concerned with the fact that the work is about “imperfection”. Asger uses the same tools that the creative industry adopted to create a perfectly designed image. But the scope here is the opposite of perfection. Perfection is an abstract concept that has nothing to do with the reality of being human. Here we have a photographer that produces human images. – Frankie Nazardo To see more of Carlsen’s work click here. Are you going to be in the New York City area any time between now and Halloween? If so, head on down to SoHo for a very cool series of photography workshops being put on by Blurb.com for FREE.

© Park Seung Hoon/Galerie Paris-Beijing. Above: Textus #017, 2009. New Photography in Korea, the upcoming exhibition at Galerie ParisBeijing, showcases a dozen photographers based in Korea, who are now on the cusp of international recognition. But it refers mainly to South Korea, the small discreet country in between China and Japan, who most often appears in the media because of the conflict with its awkward brother, North Korea. Since the 1980s we have been witness to lightning growth in “The Land of the Morning Calm”. The path that South Korea has taken since the devastating Korean War (1950-53) has, in only a few decades, transformed it from being a Third World country into a fully industrialized nation. One only needs to be there to appreciate its economic as well as cultural vitality, its perpetually changing urban landscapes, and its incredibly dynamic art scene led most notably by its cinema and museums, festivals, contemporary art fairs and other biennials of international scope. Not a day goes by without a new gallery opening in Seoul.

We met Mr. Digital Clover, the awesomest travel companion anyone could ask for. He’s a miniature 2.0 megapixel toy camera, designed to capture gorgeously lo-fi photos and vintage style videos. From the tinge of vintage coloring to his unpredictability, this mini Japanese camera will have you nostalgic for the classic photography experience. He’s kind of like the Diana of keychain cameras.
