Keith Walpole is a writer and musician based in Brooklyn, NY. Alongside his Substack ‘Circles in Space’, he publishes a weekly newsletter, ‘Five Bullets’, which covers everything from art to music to history and science.
Taken from traveling photographer Josef Hoflehner’s California portfolio. I love his use of lines within negative space and his composition uniquely captures cities in an unseen light.

The year is drawing to a close and that’s when the ‘Year’s Best Of…’ lists start coming together. StereoGum is my go to for albums and Nat Geo for travels. A new favorite is Fubiz, a French photography blog that is full of fantastic, inspirational photographs.
This is Fubiz’s Best Photos of 2013. You’ll probably recognize some of these, maybe not, but they’re all powerful in their own way…maybe not so much Miley Cyrus twerking at the VMA’s, but memorable nonetheless.
Hope you’re 2013 was as good as mine!
Best Photos of Year 2013. Thank you Fubiz!
Photographer Michael Wolf’s ‘A Series of Unfortunate Events’ serves as a documentary of the ups and downs (literally) of daily human life. Setting up a camera and tripod, Wolf takes pictures of Google Street View images and captures everything from people falling off bikes to cars on fire.
Reminiscent of Henri Cartier-Bresson’s 'decisive moment’ and the humorous photos of Weegee, this series is a redefined and modernized approach to photojournalism. Some praise him for his smart series and others accuse him of appropriating the images from Google. I personally see this series as an amusing look at humanity; it’s something that we, as humans, can all relate to when it comes to the smaller disasters of daily life-that moment you fall off your bike in front of others, that moment you can’t hold it, that moment your car starts smoking…
Not to mention, we all take part in the voyeurism that is today’s internet. Maybe Wolf is the ultimate troll of Google Street View!
See more of the series at Word Press Photo, who awarded Wolf with an Honorable Mention in 2011.
