Since I started this blog a lot of people have been e-mailing me saying "When are you going to show us a new form of documentary photography, one that treats the internet as a landscape and the screenshot as a camera with which you document your travels through cyberspace and ultimately capture something about each of us and the culture we live in?" Well, the wait is finally over. Today I'm here to usher in an entirely new way of seeing and thinking. You can throw away your cameras and you can draw over the lens of your cell phone's camera with a Sharpee - these are devices of the past. The screenshot is the only camera you'll need. Consider this post the first All-Screenshot Photography exhibition.
All of these photographs were collected online and have not been altered in any way. Just like a photo from the top of Mount Everest, you could feasibly see all of these sights yourself. But after this exhibition, you won't have to.
Copies of my book "Shift+Command+4 and Other Ways to Take Memorable Screenshots" are available for sale in the lobby.

Your house payments photo is a work of genius. The computer generated woman smiling at us, the audience, speaks volumes about the digitization of human social interaction and exchanges. A remarkable work, really. Can I pay for a framed version of this photo with my PayPal account?
Justin -
Since I'm waiting for the poll to end before I price these things, I'd say the best thing to do would be to just mail me a blank check, and once I decide how much a print costs, I'll make the check for that amount and then cash it and send you this instant collector's item. Good choice. I like how the woman looks like a demon.
Oh Mark! Misugi would have loved you more than ever with this work!!!! you are a photo GENIUS!!! I bow to you.
