“Luminous Cities” is a fascinating collection of photographs, which have been selected from a delightful exhibition of photographs of the built environment presently on display at the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, Australia. The world’s great cities have always been vibrant centers of creativity, in which the built environment is often as inspirational as the activities of its citizens, and since the nineteenth century photographers have creatively explored the idea of the city.
The exhibition enables the viewer to examine the various ways photographers have viewed cities as historical sites, bustling modern hubs and architectural utopias since the nineteenth century. Through the work of a range of photographers, “Luminous Cities” leads viewers on a fascinating journey around the world, into the streets, buildings and former lives of some of our greatest international cities. The many fine photographs presented here, and in the remarkable slide show, include works by renowned photographers Eugene Atget, Edward Steichen, Paul Strand, Berenice Abbott, Bill Brandt, Lee Freidlander and Grant Mudford amongst many others.
This piece includes a number of outstanding high-resolution vintage photographs, a wonderful slide show of additional architectural images and a documentary short film.

“Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer” (1944) is the original classic cartoon version of this endearing Christmas tale, which was created by Max Fleischer two decades before Rudolph came to the small screen. Johnny Marks’ infectious song leads into the well-known story of Santa’s winter weather troubles and how the bullied little deer saved the night. The other reindeer in Christmastown don’t make Rudolph feel very welcome, constantly making fun of his shiny red nose. But when terrible weather threatens to keep Santa Claus from making his annual toy-giving rounds, Rudolph is added to the team precisely for that bright nose, which guides Santa’s sleigh through the skies like a beacon in the night.
This piece includes a high-resolution color photograph, as well as the classic Christmas cartoon.

Long before strippers started twirling on shiny brass poles in G-strings, men would get goofy watching women twirl their pasties at the old-timey burlesque shows. America’s big cities often had dozens of burlesque theaters that featured bodacious babes in barely-there costumes, at least until prudish city officials started banning the shows. But with the neo-burlesque movement coming back into vogue, and with Christina Aguilera and Cher co-starring in the new movie, “Burlesque”, here’s a fond look back at the heyday of burlesque.
This piece includes a number of high resolution vintage black-and-white photographs, a slide show and two musical documentary short films.
