Peter Lindbergh is recognized as one of the most influential contemporary #photographers This image of #TinaTurner hanging off the Eiffel Tower is one of his most iconic photos. In November 2020 the singer wrote: “Today would be the birthday of my dear friend and uniquely talented photographer Peter Lindbergh. I have often told you that it took me a long time to love myself. Peter helped me with his amazing photos. He discovered a side of me even I didn’t know existed. I miss him very much.”
Took my photo of a Brown Pelican standing on a wooden piling in the bay and through the magic of editing tools, transported him to a cosmic universe among the stars. He seems to be “starstruck” with his trip to this outer galaxy.

In honor of #pride, here's a collection devoted to LGBTQIA+ photographers and photography, from radical early projects (like the secret studio run by Norwegian photographers Bolette Berg and Marie Høeg) to the "queer new wave" rising today.

I have 3+ #scanners, all with wildly different #color results, as you can see below. At least 2 of them can scan directly over LAN (in Simple Scan).
Ideally I'd want #colormanagement / calibration of scans, ideally with "Simple Scan" (otherwise, how do you do it with XSane?). I have a ColorMunki spectrophotometer, if it helps.
“This photo was taken by Nikita Teryoshin. It shows a VIP reception at a Swedish booth at an arms fair in Kielce, Poland, in 2016. Teryoshin spent eight years traveling to defense shows worldwide, capturing the surreal ways weapons are bought and sold. (…)
