Diane Tuft is a mixed media artist who has focused primarily on photography since 1998. Tuft lives and works in New York City...... She has always been fascinated by the mystery of what exists beyond the visible; and capturing this through her camera has been a guiding principle of her work....In 2012, Tuft was awarded a National Science Foundation Artist and Writers grant to continue her exploration of light beyond the visible spectrum in Antarctica.....Tuft ‘s installation, “Internal Reflection”, was exhibited at the Katonah Museum of Art in New York and at Art L.A. in Santa Monica, California. The exhibit was a combination of photography, sculpture, light and sound that explored the resonance between reflection of image and refraction of light. In 2008... Tuft’s work can be found in the permanent collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art and the International Center of Photography in New York City, and the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill NY, as well as numerous private collections.

This site shows photographs that are mostly abstract, sometimes aerial, of extreme environments like Greenland and Antarctica; they are beautiful, thought provoking and brilliant . There are videos from installations and a preview of a book "Gondwanaland" - http://www.gondwanabook.com/.. ...http://dianetuft.com/

Nita Winter and Bob Badger - Nita Winter's photographic passion began during her senior year at Clark University where she earned a degree in biology. In 1976 Nita moved to San Francisco and began to document her work fighting fires and leading tours on Alcatraz Island while working for the National Parks Service. In her words: "I thoroughly enjoy recording candid moments in people's lives, especially those of children. For 40 years.

Bob Badger, an environmental activist, instructor, lecturer and photographer, has recorded the beauty of the earth and its accelerating destruction. His mastery of light and color, and his ability to emotionally portray the essence of a place in time, has won him international awards for his Antarctica series, and "Best in Journalism" for his evocative environmental photography, work that is simultaneously beautiful and disturbing., http://www.nitawinter.com/ http://www.winterbadger.com/home

The Full Montage - Sheffield as it never was, in 1977- a series of photomontages by architect Cedric Green, putting sculpture in public places, a wry commentary on some of the new and old architecture and the lack of art. Exhibited at the Mappin gallery in 1977 and the Royal Society of Arts in London in 1989. Many of the objects used are household objects like a tap and a cheese-grater, blown-up to fantastic sizes, some are more exotic items like musical instruments and some are photographs of sculptures and maquettes by Cedric Green himself; all used to create a surreal but almost feasible city. The main interest in these images lies in their content and meaningfulness as a group recording what was and wasn't public art in Sheffield at that time and exploring the relationship between public art and architecture.....

Earth from Above - Yann Arthus-Bertrand - A series of stunning aerial photographs from around the world published as a best-selling book whose excellent text describes the ecological significance of the images. The captions to the pictures he has taken over many years are a frightening commentary on the ways in which the environment is being degraded and the world is suffering from pollution and over expoitation. The beauty of the pictures is in stark contrast to the awful consequences of human destruction - see the pictures from the Middle East countries. A site to linger over for hours...http://www.yannarthusbertrand.com/
