The Quantified Self Travis Hodges Photography

'The Quantified Self' is the process of self knowledge through self tracking.

Once the preserve of researchers and technology junkies, self tracking is rapidly evolving into a mainstream trend as people are able to use smartphones and wearable sensors to record an expanding range of data and make use of its analysis.

Many of the commonly tracked metrics relate to health and self improvement, but almost anything can be tracked; sleep, exercise, mood, weight, the list is almost endless as are the individual motivations for tracking. This project looks at the stories of the people who self track, the data they collect and their motivations for doing so.

Three (photo)Books on a Desert Island by micamera Photography

Three photobooks on a desert island - Bruno Ceschel - December 2012 from MiCamera on Vimeo.

A project Micamera started in 2012. A very simple question, not so obvious answers.

The Male Nude
David Leddick
TASCHEN, 1998

Vanilla Partner
Torbjørn Rødland
Mack Books, 2012

His own family album

Bruno Ceschel is a writer, curator, and publisher whose works focuses principally on contemporary photography. His research specifically aims to explore issues relating to identities, with an emphasis on gender, sexuality, and racial formation. He is also the founder of Self Publish, Be Happy, an organisation which aims to collect and study contemporary artists’ books and has an ever-travelling mobile library project.
Ceschel writes regularly for various international publications. He has published and edited numerous photography books, and participated in events at numerous institutions including the ICA (London), the Whitechapel Gallery (London), TATE Modern (London), C/O (Berlin) and PS1 (New York), amongst others.

Machiel Botman - Three Books on a Desert Island from MiCamera on Vimeo.

This is an extract from a (short) interview that Giulia Zorzi made to Machiel Botman on the day of the opening of One Tree at micamera (September 20, 2012). The question was: If you would have to choose three books to bring on a desert island, which ones would you pick?
The answer is very interesting, and this is the reason we decided to publish the video - though the audio is not so good...
Thank you Piero Pezzoni for the video

Hungry Horse Montana 2014 Pieter Ten Hoopen Photography

Pieter Ten Hoopen Hungry Horse, Montana 2014 During a cold winter in the year 1900 two horses ran away. The horses were named Tex and Jerry and lived in the wilderness. After a month the horses returned dying of hunger. From this day they called this small town Hungry Horse. In the 1940’s and 1950’s a large dam was being built just on the outskirt of the town. People from all over the state moved to Hungry Horse in order to work on the dam’s construction. Ground and houses were cheap, the small town grew fast. When the dam was completed many moved out but some stayed. Jobs had disappeared and Hungry Horse became a place for criminals to hide since the police wouldn’t venture into the valley. Hungry Horse is located just a few miles away from Glacier National Park, one of Montana’s greatest tourist attraction. The town today is a place where people pass by on their way to the National Park. About 70% of the people of Hungry Horse live in trailer parks. The prices for ground and houses in the valley are extremely high. Meaning people are moving away with their trailers in search of cheaper places. Many end up in the Indian reservations on the other side of the park. One of the main problem in Hungry Horse and in many remote parts of Montana is the use and abuse of Crystal Meth. This drug, mostly made of household products, is smoked or injected. It is considered by many as one of the most destructive drug ever. During summer some tourists come to the village to buy huckleberry on their way to the National Park.
