Ground penetrating radar used to detect drowning victims under ice
Floating bodies are successfully detected under both ice and snow using a commercial ground penetrating radar system with ice depths reaching up to 26 cm in a controlled environment.The differences between using radar systems operating at/around 500 MHz and 1 GHz were not pronounced from the point of view of detection.Future studies should investigate the capabilities for detecting bodies in more realistic settings
Articulating the Commonplace
I discovered photography all of a lump in the 1960s. It was like opening a door into a museum you didn't even know existed. There they all were — people like Paul Strand, Evans, this huge galaxy, a treasure house of people who'd made these observations. In a way there was no need to look at present photography, because all photography was in a sense present photography — I hadn't seen any of it before. There was this massive world just waiting to…

Diane Arbus and the past when she was good
What was her project? To mythologize American society. Patricia Bosworth makes this claim in her biography of Diane Arbus, and apropos of her training at Fieldston School in the 1930s: ‘For the rest of her life, Diane savored words like “quest,” “aristocracy,” “rituals,” “legends,” “kingdom,” and she began to view the world in mythic terms. Later she would see the ritual, the myth, in visual spectacles such as parades, contests, circuses, dances …
Fragment and totality in photography
Fragmentation involves anteriority, decay, and loss in relation to some superseded whole. As excerpts from a world that was, photographs are understandable as fragments, which means that they carry with them an invitation to reflect on and even to reconstruct former environments and totalities. The history of photography is a history of responses to that invitation, most of which are studiedly hesitant and doubtful of an outcome. One reason for t…
Norton Batkin's Photography and Philosophy
Norton Batkin's Photography and Philosophy was once a Harvard dissertation, accepted in 1981. It is unlike anything else published on the history of the medium, and wiil be of the utmost interest to anyone who has ever been troubled by ‘photography history’. Anyone who makes the effort is likely to emerge the more troubled, but all to the good. The last of its six sections is on some of the photography of Paul Strand, and that warrants close atte…
Street rivalry and patron-managers
The presence of flesh
What sets Winogrand apart? A strong sense of ourselves as pungent material, as lustful gourmands done up to the nines but dying for a drag. We come on as dwarfs and trolls, or swathed in fat and mascara, or pared to the bone under a cowboy hat. We are, under Winogrand's terms, frankly interested in sex, spectacle and tall stories. In one of the greatest of his trouvailles two laconic observers, one smoking a cigarette, consider a pair of dogs mat…
