At the age of eighteen, Rachel Papo was serving in the Israel Air Force as a photographer. This tour of duty was the inspiration for her current project titled after her own serial number during service: Serial No. 3817131.

Born in Ohio, but raised in Israel, the photo bug caught Rachel while she was in her teens. She attended the renowned fine-arts high school in Haifa, Israel, earned a BFA in Fine Arts from Ohio State University and an MFA in Photography from the School of Visual Arts in New York City. The photographs of Israeli female soldiers started in 2004 as part of her masters thesis project. A book of this beautiful work has been published by powerHouse Books.

Photographer Eirik Solheim compressed 365 days into 40 seconds. A description of the specific tools and techniques used can be found here. Did 2008 seem to race by this quickly for you too?

In my opinion, much of today’s photography suffers from too much post-exposure tinkering to balance this or clean up that. For this reason, I find the work of Darren Ankenman refreshing as his images appear void of much of those “improvements”. He also doesn’t subscribe strictly to the less is more rule while tossing up a robust amount of content up to the web. Take a second and check it out.
