‘Girls in the Windows,’ Photograph by Ormond Gigli
‘Girls in the Windows,’ is the signature piece of photographer Ormond Gigli, who shot for such publications as Life,Paris Match, and the Saturday Evening Post. The famous photograph has been sold at Christie’s in New York in the beginning of Oct.
Ormond Gigli says;
“I was inspired to somehow immortalize those buildings. I had the vision of 43 women in formal dress adorning the windows of the skeletal facade,” Gigli writes. “The day before the buildings were razed, the 43 women … climbed the old stairs and took their places in the windows. I was set up on my fire escape across the street, directing the scene, with bullhorn in hand. Of course I was concerned for the models’ safety, as some were daring enough to pose out on the crumbling sills.”

Lego Photographs by Chris McVeigh
We’ve had a lot of great guest photographers on CubeMe recently. But we are particularly impressed by Chris McVeigh’s photographs and his geek universe. His works shows creating clever, quirky and often comical pictures that employ everything from action figures to backyard wildlife.
I am extremely patient and focused when it comes to my work. I have no problem giving a task all of my attention, and sticking with it until I feel it is complete (or at the very least, I’ve reach a certain threshold in the process). I’m not sure my patient with the creative process necessarily translates into overall patience, though… I’m easily annoyed by bad drivers, for example.

Hummingbird Faces off with a Pit Viper
Photographer Bence Máté snapped this amazing shot in Costa Rica. He writes:
I was photographing hummingbirds when I heard the sharp, alarming noise of the birds reacting to the presence of a predator. Sixty feet away from me this green-crowned brilliant was fearlessly attacking a small viper. The long shutter speed and shallow depth of field made it difficult to make an image with both animals sharp. This encounter was one of the most interesting ones I had ever seen, and I quickly set up two flashes to increase the light and shutter speed, using one flash fired from the background and another from the camera.

350 Earth, Global Climate Art Project by 350.org
As part of the launch for 350 EARTH, the first global art show for the climate is signed by 350.org, founder Bill McKibben; multimedia hip-hop innovator DJ Spooky; renowned urban artist Jorge Rodriguez-Gerada; and director of the Santa Fe Art Institute, Diane Karp.
350 EARTH has issued a call to artists to submit climate change design sketches that will be used to create images viewable from space. The designs will be replicated by human beings, assembled like pixels on a computer screen, to create images so large that they will be seen and photographed by an orbiting satellite. The installations take place in over a dozen cities, including in Europe, South America, and seven locations in North America. Each project is large enough to be visible by space, and will be photographed via satellite. The public can sign up to participate in their city, or make their own art.
Most of the art is developed along the line of “gather-enough-people to-form-a-shape (or message)”: for example, a giant “350″ (representing the optimum levels of parts-per-million of CO2 in the atmosphere); a green footprint; or a polar bear created out of hundreds of red tents. 350.org says aerial images will be made available and displayed at the latest climate talks in Cancun starting on Nov. 29.
