Photos by German-born photographer Fred Herzog.
Most of the street photos are of Vancouver, where he emigrated to in 1953. While employed as a medical photographer, his passion for photography took him on evenings and weekends to the streets to document the daily life of ordinary people. He worked with slide film, mostly Kodachrome, during a time when most photographers worked mainly with black and white.

It's the start of another work week again. Hope you all have a productive one.
And how great are these images created by Kevin Burg and partner Jamie Beck? They've developed this cinemagraph technique where you combine still photographs and videos to create these cinematic Gifs. We love that they've created a new way to represent images in this evolving digital age, yet still presents them from their unique perspective and style.

“You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.” -JR

The film world lost a legend over the weekend when film director Sidney Lumet passed away at the age of 86. Lumet did not just make great films he made great NEW YORK films including 12 Angry Men, The Pawnbroker, Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon, Prince of The City, and Network. But his work went beyond the boroughs of New York as he also directed classics such as The Verdict, The Wiz, Equus, and Murder on the Orient Express. Text and image via New York Public Library.
"Sidney Lumet was one of the greatest directors in the long history of film. Compelling stories and unforgettable performances were his strong suit." - Steven Spielberg.

London-born actress Elizabeth Taylor, who hated the nickname "Liz", passed away yesterday at age 79. She grew up on screen when she came to fame at age 12 in National Velvet and went on to star in over 60 films and win two Academy Awards. She was also an AIDS activist, inspired by the death of her close friend Rock Hudson. Beyond her charity work and glamorous screen persona, she had a stormy life, which included eight marriages and a lifetime of health problems - skin cancer, seizures, stroke, brain tumors, diabetes, hip replacements, back operations, but somehow managed to bounce back with force and resilience from all these physical and relationship set backs. Co-star Paul Newman said "her life has not been an easy or a private one, but a series of tribulations, serious illnesses, senseless tragedy and lost love. One thing for sure: She is not afraid to take chances in front of people. I find a lot of actors who reach the top, they become very protective of themselves, and self-indulgent, but not Elizabeth. I was always staggered by her ferocity."
“I don’t entirely approve of some of the things I have done, or am, or have been. But I’m me. God knows, I’m me.” - Elizabeth Taylor

We at Grant's like our females with a bit more substance. Because well, good looks nowadays are more than a dime a dozen, and of course with a credit card, it can be bought, altered, and airbrushed in an instant. Which is why I was impressed when I read this NY Times article that Hedy Lamarr, who was called the most beautiful woman in Europe in her day, was also a rocket scientist on the side. So who is this lady?
She was born Hedwig Kiesler in Austria-Hungary, the only child to Jewish parents, studied ballet and played piano before age 10, and starred in dozens of films opposite the likes of Spencer Tracy and Clark Gable. Her escape from Vienna to Hollywood is almost right out of a film - she supposedly drugged her maid then disguised herself as the maid to escape her husband who had ties to the Nazi. But of course countless Hollywood leading ladies have seen their share of drama off-screen. What set Hedy apart from the rest of the glamour set, was her brains and extracurricular activities. Together with composer George Antheil, Lamarr came up with an early version of frequency hopping intended to make radio-guided torpedoes harder for enemies to detect. Their frequency-hopping idea serves as a basis for modern wireless technologies. So with the exception of an arrest for a Winona-like shopping spree accusation, this lady had some skills.

When was the last time you used a pay phone? Exactly. With mobile technology, a phone booth has quickly become something of vintage novelty. Well, lighting designer Benoit Deseille and artist Benedetto Bufalino transformed this phone booth into an aquarium in celebration of the annual Festival of Light in Lyon, France. These photos demonstrate how artists can transform unused, forgotten or wasted objects into things that make people stop and enjoy. From PopTech.
