  ====================
  
  I compared his work to Brassaï, as the sensibility is very similar, to which he responded, “Oh cool! Is he on Instagram?”
  lols
  “No no he’s one of those academic, dead ones from like the 20’s or something.”
  Jokes.
  
  I would write more about him but he’s trying to stay anonymous so no dice, folks. Sorry.
  And I know his photos look like it was shot on film, but he’s actually using a DSLR.

- Souveraines: Ces Peuples ou les Femmes sont Libres
  
  Posted at 12:26 pm by Gelene Celis, on November 8, 2015
  …is a photography book by Pierre de Vallombreuse (Bayonne, France)
  
  …the title also roughly translates to “Sovereign: The Peoples Whose Women are Free”
  
  Searching for an alternative to the patriarchal societies often found in Western countries, French photographer, Pierre de Vallombreuse journeyed to Southeast Asia to document the fascinating lives of indigenous people in cultures that place equal or even more value on women. Taking a humanistic approach to an anthropological question, de Vallombreuse used his camera to explore the progressive traditions of isolated communities that have remained untouched by globalization and technology.
  “Most of the cultures in Southeast Asia are more based on equality than domination,” the photographer wrote to us in an email. For this series Souveraines, which was commissioned by Arthaud Publishing, de Vallombreuse selected four remote cultures where women play decisive and central roles in governance and spirituality—the Khasi, a matrilineal and matrilocal society in northeastern India; the Palawan, a non-hierarchical community in the Philippines; the Mosuo ethnic group in China; and the Badjao, a sea-dwelling group that prefers boats to houses.
  De Vallombreuse told us that some of the most striking things he observed in these societies included “fluidity, simplicity, and normality” between men and women. “This should be normal everywhere,” he said.
  “Equality, mutual respect between the sexes, freedom to all; some traditional societies grant women leading social and spiritual roles,” the series description reads on the website of Galerie Argentic, where Souveraines is currently on display in an exhibition. “Among these peoples, women, recognized for their uniqueness and skills, are masters of their destiny.”

- Heat Recovery
  
  Posted at 7:11 pm by Gelene Celis, on May 7, 2013
  … is a photographical concept by Oliver Pauk (Toronto, ON)
  
  “The most significant way in which humans waste energy is in the form of heat. In North America, nearly half of the energy produced is released from our products, processes and buildings, directly into the atmosphere and the water system. Waste heat recovery is the process of harnessing this thermal energy and re-using it. I have chosen to photograph heating, ventilation and air conditioning units and to use the effect of thermal imagery in order to portray their huge potential for heat recovery.
  
  Estimates state that in the U.S., waste heat recovery has the potential to satisfy forty percent of total energy requirements. Operating at this level would save the American economy roughly 150 billion dollars per year and would, simultaneously, decrease greenhouse gas emissions by twenty percent; the equivalent of taking every passenger vehicle off of the road.”
