AisleOne reader, René, was kind enough to write in to share his collection of photos taken by Hans G. Conrad, the first student at the Ulm School of Design / Hochschule für Gestaltung HfG Ulm. Conrad passed away several years ago, but before he did he gave René over 12,000 photos. About two years ago René began to upload the images to Flickr. A lot of really great photos already up there, like the one pictured here of Otl Aicher teaching a typography class. You’ll find a lot of other great design legends in the photos like Bayer, Eames and Bill.

What a great way of remembering such a historic school and influential designers.

Outliers Vol. I: Iceland

Outliers Vol1: Iceland

Tim Navis and Kim Høltermand are joining film collective Scenic and composer Deru to bring us Outliers: a beautifully packaged box set of film and music. The team will create a series of short films at various locations throughout Iceland, inspired by moments of discovery and chance occurrence. Scenic will edit a series of short films, featuring an original score by Deru and a full-length soundtrack featuring contributions from select musicians and contemporary composers. Tim and Kim will create an archival photo book and release a limited run of exclusive prints.

This sounds amazing. I’m personally in love with Tim’s and Kim’s photos, so this should be an incredible collection of images.

They put together a Kickstarter to help fund the project. Help fund it and you’ll get some limited edition goodies.

Australian student Hamish Innes-Brown setup a camera at the Tullamarine Airport in Melbourne and snapped these wonderful photos of planes landing. By using a slow shutter speed, he was able to create these beautiful patters and colors. Another great example creating something special from an unexpected source.

You can purchase prints of the photos here.

Ezra Stoller

Ezra Stoller (1915 – 2004) was an architectural photographer who’s work included iconic structures like Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater and the TWA Terminal at JFK Airport.

I love how he managed to capture the lines of the structures so well. He had a gift of knowing the perfect angle and composition to use to make the architecture have real impact. Like in the image pictured here, in which the curvature of the opening in the roof and the staircase live harmoniously.

You can see more photos on his work here.
