Kalve’s retrospective exhibition covers the entire oeuvre of the Tartu-born artist and photography teacher, from his experiments as a schoolboy to his most important series’. These include “The Life of Dead Birds”, “Back in Paris”, “Views of the Supercity”, “Tartu Botanical Garden and Toom magi”, “Nature in Color,” and others.
“In Kalve’s images, there is always one thing that evokes a certain feeling: often it is the light, but sometimes a detail, is supported in such a way that when we see it, our sense of security in this world collapses. The image is out on its own and doesn’t remind us of anything,” said artist Peeter Laurits.
Kalve acknowledged, that the birth of an image is something inexplicable, internal and spontaneous. “He explains the state from which creation begins as an instinctive feeling. He doesn’t analyse his works using typical words like narrative or discourse, which (are used) to unravel the concepts of contemporary art projects. These are simply not his domain, because the aesthetics of light and shadow, with all the photographic means of expression that pass between them, make the viewer feel and react. Each one in a different way,” said Laurits.
Toomas Kalve’s work is characterized by the use of the plate camera from the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, invoking a form of retro nostalgia with the tome of his photographs.
Kalve has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions both in Estonia and abroad and was a founding member of the photography groups “Forever Yours” (1990) and “The Tartu Open Studio” (1996) . He has also been president of the Tartu Photography Club since 1988.
The retrospective exhibition is curated by Annika Haas and is part of this year’s theme of analogue photography at the museum.

For decades, art enthusiasts and critics alike have debated whether photography can or should be considered an art form. Is photography art? If it’s not art, under what umbrella title can it be categorized?
To present a reasonable answer, let’s explore the definition of art. According to Merriam-Webster, art is defined as the “conscious use of skill and creative imagination, especially in the production of aesthetic objects.” In simple terms, a work of art is something that is produced with artistic intent, or for the purpose of decorating an area.
Fine Art Limited Edition of 50 – Japanese gardens first appeared on the island of Honshu, the large central island of Japan. Their aesthetic was influenced by the distinct characteristics of the Honshu landscape: rugged volcanic peaks, narrow valleys, mountain streams with waterfalls and cascades, lakes, and beaches of small stones. They were also influenced by the rich variety of flowers and different species of trees, particularly evergreen trees, on the islands, and by the four distinct seasons in Japan, including hot, wet summers and snowy winters.
Is It Art, or Not?
If we accept this definition, photography can be an artistic endeavor. Of course, not all photography is art, but when photos are taken in an effort to make a statement or provide a decorative element, the title of art is fair.
Famous photographers like Dorthea Lange, Ansel Adams, Robert Frank, Gerda Taro, Walker Evans, Anne Geddes, Mary Ellen Mark, and Vivian Maier have been a testament to the argument in favor of calling photography an art form. As individuals who have captured some of the world’s most famous pictures, these artists have preserved history from the eyes of those most affected by current events.
However, plenty of people still argue that photography is not an art form, and one of the key reasons given is that photography simply captures a moment in time. What about paintings that do the same thing? Is a still-life painting not art? Most anyone would argue that it is, and in addition, photography can do far more than capture a moment in time.
Photography can be used to make a statement. The photographer’s work with lighting and angles can change the tone of the image. Photographs can capture feeling, beauty, and expression.
Another argument presented is that photography uses a tool (the camera) to copy an image. Yet, many art forms use tools in today’s world. Architects use computer programs to plan their latest projects, authors use computers to record colorful pieces of writing that describe true events, and musicians use synthesizers and other pieces of software to create certain sounds.
Unlike the examples mentioned above, though, photography is not included as one of the seven forms of art.

Laguna Agate is considered to be the most colorful banded agate in the world. It is found in a north-south trending mountain range almost due south of El Paso, Texas and east of Mexican Highway 45 in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico. Fine Art Limited Edition of 50.
What Are The Seven Forms of Art?
In a classical sense, most works of art fall into one of the following seven forms. Each of the seven forms is designed to affect the person viewing, hearing, or otherwise experiencing the piece in a unique way. Let’s explore paintings, sculptures, pieces of literature, architecture, cinema, music, and theater.
Painting
Paintings are one of the most famous and long-lasting forms of art. In this medium, an artist uses various paint types to illustrate an image and/or make a statement on a surface. Usually, the surface is canvas, but painters can use walls, wood, floors, and much more as the base for a painting.
Sculpture
This art form involves carving, casting, or otherwise physically working a specific subject into a three-dimensional representation. Such examples include the statues that many of us see when traveling to famous locations. Sculpting can be done with a variety of mediums, like plastic, wood, clay, and bronze.
Michelangelo, Camille Claudel, Antonio Canova, Auguste Rodin, Henry Moore, and Pablo Picasso are among the most famous sculptors known today.

Literature
Literature involves using written words to express an idea, tell a story, or inspire a certain thought or emotion. Writers can compose poetry, stories, novels, essays, and much more in order to express the points they’re trying to make. Literature comes in several styles and genres, including satire, horror, drama, and science fiction.
Some of the most famous literary artists of our time include Walt Whitman, John Steinbeck, Agatha Kristie, Edgar Allen Poe, Anne Rice, Maya Angelou, Neil Gaiman, and Fyodor Dostoevsky.
Architecture
This is the art form that goes into building both for style and functionality. It’s one thing to create a block shelter from the elements, but it’s another to create a work of art that also houses human beings and various goods. Architects create plans and compose maps for building projects small and large.
Brilliant pieces of architecture include the Eiffel Tower, the Taj Mahal, the Sydney Opera House, and the Chrysler Building.
Famous architects include Kengo Kuma, Eileen Gray, Antoni Gaudi, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Norman Foster.

Cinema
Cinema is the art form that focuses on creating movies and other films. The art of making motion pictures can include several focuses, but much of the time, this element involves the use of cameras. For example, cinematographers use camera angles, sound, visual effects, and other cinematic techniques to give a motion picture the mood the creator intends.
Quentin Tarantino, Mandy Walker, Conrad Hall, and Michael Chapman are among many famous cinematographers known throughout the world.
Music
Using vocals and/or instruments to produce form, harmony, and expression is the basis of music. Much like cinema and literature, music comes in many forms. It can make statements about culture, religion, or the social climate, to name a few subjects. Other times, music can be fun, educational, or seemingly a hybrid of intents.
Famous musicians include Louis Armstrong, Bob Dylan, B.B. King, Mozart, Amy Winehouse, Madonna, Aretha Franklin, Easy E, Selena, and Lizzo.

Theater
Theater usually embodies plays and other live performances. Many of William Shakespeare’s pieces of writing were presented as plays. Phantom of the Opera, The Nutcracker, Wicked, Faust & the Devil, Mary Poppins, Cats, and Rent are among the most famous theater productions of today’s age.
William Shakespeare, Tennessee Williams, Oscar Wilde, Arthur Miller, Anton Chekhov, Sarah Kane, Lillian Hellman, and Victor Hugo are among the many creators of famous plays that have been presented in theaters.
So Is Photography Art?
In my mind there has never been any question that photography is art. My journey with photography has been one infused with artistic intent from the first time I picked up a camera. My intention has never been to simply document the world around me, but to use my camera as a creative tool to show the world how I find and internalize natural beauty, through my own eyes, with the help of my camera.
Throughout history, many creative endeavors, including photography, often forced one to rely on the avenues presented by others, through mentorship, sponsorship or an available audience to share their art with others. Today, through our limitless access to artistic materials, information & inspiration, an artist is allowed to create freely and that, to me, is the purest form of art.

John Fielder is a brand-name photographer who is donating his life’s work to History Colorado. The 5,500 photos document 28 mountain ranges, 44 federal wilderness areas and 11 national forests, in addition to other landscapes, parks, ranches and trails in each of Colorado’s 64 counties.

Editor’s note: This story has been updated to correct where John Fielder lives.
Brand-name Colorado nature photographer John Fielder will donate thousands of his photos, collected over 40 years of outdoor travels, to History Colorado.
The 5,500 photos — edited down from more than 150,000 negatives and digital scans — will be archived at the state’s official historical society and placed into the public domain, with a small licensing fee for commercial use.
“I reached out to History Colorado because I had started this process about three years ago with another institution, and it didn’t work out. So when I asked (executive director) Dawn DiPrince if she wanted my life’s work, History Colorado was highly motivated to get it,” Fielder told The Denver Post. “After she said yes, I was able the next day to deliver 5,500 scans and digital images to them, and then it was just a matter of the contract and working out details.”
The remarkably fast, three-week turnaround from proposal to signed contract with History Colorado is a result of Fielder’s eight months of preparation last year. He pored over 50,000 digital photos, which he started shooting in 2009 when high-resolution digital cameras finally matched his standards, and another 75,000 physical images.
The photographs document 28 mountain ranges, 44 federal wilderness areas and 11 national forests, in addition to other landscapes, parks, ranches and trails in each of Colorado’s 64 counties.
The Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition showcases beautiful pictures of rare and remarkable creatures. To create these images, dedicated experts crawled through leech-infested swamps, sailed through ice-strewn seas and crouched for hours in cramped hides.
Coming home, I had just one thought: not bad for a bunch of professionals, but this lot would never make it as amateurs.
I know what I am talking about. I have been taking substandard nature photographs for decades. Some have even merited an exhibition of their own. We had to put something on the walls of our downstairs loo.
In my view, none of the contributors to the show at London’s Natural History Museum has grasped the basic principles of bad nature photography.
In this endeavour, the canonic image reduces the animal to a small, blurred blob in one corner of the frame. Ideally, it should be fleeing the snapper as he or she crashes through the undergrowth or roars up in a Jeep.
“Here are some more impala behinds,” I told friends proudly, showing them my safari photos.
“Is that a hairy caterpillar?” one of them asked, peering at another snap.
“No,” I said. “That is a rhinoceros. It was a long way off.”
I inherited my hobby from my father. He was a titan in the field. One evening every year he would produce racks of slides and corral the family together. Sitting in the dark, stupefied with boredom and lulled by the whirring of the projector, I would drift in and out of consciousness.
Some of my photos have even merited an exhibition of their own. We had to put something on the walls of our downstairs loo
“I think this might be one of a crossbill,” he would say.
“Isn’t it just a bit of fluff on the slide?” my mother would ask, brightly.
“No!” he would snap, blowing on the equipment. Miraculously, the crossbill would take flight.
Bad nature photography was easier then. Analogue equipment limited the number of shots you could take. Little of the process was automated. Long lenses were expensive.
Digital cameras do the bulk of the decision making these days. It costs nothing to junk shots that flop. Tolerable telephoto lenses retail for under £1,000. You can take decent landscapes and wildlife shots with a smartphone, too.
The democratisation of nature photography is welcome. You do not have to schlep to Tanzania or South Georgia to get pleasing results. A sharp picture of a garden blue tit is a thing of wonder. Just do not expect relatives to say so.
“It’s your children I feel sorry for,” my father-in-law observed sombrely, after I had shown him 43 snaps of identical godwits. “Think how many photos they’ll have to throw away when you die.”
I am fine with that. But I do fret over the beauty standards created by photo-editing software. This is causing a whole new genre of bad nature photos. It turns photography into digital painting by numbers. Taking pictures in the open air becomes a starting point, rather than an end in itself.
The naffest products of this technology are super-sharp, supersaturated landscapes. These crop up on the walls of some budget hotels and as starting screens on digital devices. Industrious photographers have stitched together multiple images and tweaked them into the fantasy of the rugged outdoors. This world is bathed in permanent sunshine, except at night. Then, constellations wheel overhead in perfect detail, at the same intensity as the street lights of a distant village.
Tweaked wildlife photos are equally common. I’m not referring here to obvious fakes like the “Norwegian blue owl” which did the rounds on social media recently. Instead, I’m referring to real animals that have been idealised. Typically, the animal is perfectly lit. It is looking directly out of the frame, as if making conscious eye contact with the viewer.
Nature is rarely like this, particularly during the British winter. Right now, the countryside is generally a study in low-contrast browns, greens and greys. Birds feature as hunched balls of feathers. Food is scarce. Animals are not at their best.
This was borne home to me by a trip to a seal haul-out on Tyneside. Scrutinising my photographs of a bull seal later, I noticed that moulting had given him a comical, moth-eaten tonsure. He had a long string of mucus dangling from one nostril.
He looked cold, hungry and fed up. The summer mackerel shoals and the mating season were a long way off. I hovered the cursor over the “match and patch” function. Then paused.
My feeling is that editing software is best used as an adjunct to taking photographs. It is not the main event. Clever tweakery must have gone into some of the images at the Natural History Museum. But not every cactus bee in Karine Aigner’s contest-winning shot of a spherical breeding cluster was in perfect focus.
Jose Fragozo’s outstanding picture “The Disappearing Giraffe” showed just the hindquarters of an animal galloping under a new elevated railway in Kenya. It said more about wildlife in the Anthropocene than any standard safari shot: space for nature is decreasing fast.
I would have automatically deleted this photo because the animal’s head is hidden. It is a matter of cliché that art is more about seeing than doing.
Next time a visitor goes to use our downstairs loo, I will tell them: “While you’re in there, look out for my photo ‘Disgruntled Seal with a Head Cold’. It really is one of my finest efforts.”

Anna Faris just dropped a behind-the-scenes photo from her upcoming Super Bowl ad cameo.
In the photo, the actress showed off her super-toned body, going totally nude to promote Avocados from Mexico.
As a busy mom, Anna opts for walks and hikes instead of a strict gym schedule.
The Super Bowl is approaching, and Anna Faris just gave us all another reason to tune in to watch.
The TheHouse Bunny actress just shared that she’s posing nude for the brand Avocados from Mexico in an ad that will air during the big game. She posted a BTS photo from the shoot, and one thing is clear: Anna is really toned, from her head to her toes.
“Here’s some tasty news: I ‘m finally making my Big Game debut with @AvocadosFromMexico!” Anna captioned the photo of herself snacking on some burgers. In the pic, Anna’s long blonde hair cascades over her shoulders as she smiles and laughs with her costar. It’s definitely fun to see Anna having fun out there, and looking super strong while doing so.
The pic was a popular one, with friends and fans leaving all sorts of positive comments. “Love her. Totally here for it,” wrote one person. Another added, “Holy guacamole….” Clever!
While Anna doesn’t share too much about her wellness routine nowadays, she has shared some of her best practices in the past. In 2017, she told Women’s Health she loves to hike.
“I grew up in Washington, and my dad took us hiking in the mountains every weekend. I had a passion for it early on. We weren’t allowed to bring friends, and I ‘m really grateful for that time because it forced me to have conversations with my parents and appreciate nature. I hope to instill that in my son,” she shared in the interview.
And because she’s a super busy mom, Anna keeps her workout schedule flexible, and instead focuses on getting in daily movement. “I love to walk and hike,” she told Prevention. “I don’t want to portray myself as someone that’s like ‘I hit the gym every day at 5:30’ cause it’s not like that and I definitely don’t!”
Whatever Anna is doing, it is clearly working. Can’t wait to see this ad on Super Bowl Sunday!

The iPhone is a phenomenal device, but with each new iteration of iOS, we have more and more settings to contend with. If only there were a comprehensive guide to how to tweak the default configuration to get the best performance and battery life from our phone.
Well, a recent video on YouTube aims to be just that. Two Apple experts set out to provide a guide to which settings you should “turn off immediately” to get better battery life and to protect your data and privacy. And there are no fewer than 46 of them (if you’re looking to upgrade your iphone, see our guide to the best iPhone 14 prices)
If you’ve got an iPhone 14 or any recent iPhone running the latest iOS, you might want to watch Apple experts David Payette and David Lynch of Payette Forward as they suggest 46 iPhone settings you should turn off to improve your phone’s performance and keep your data safe.
That might sound like a lot to turn off, but phones now come with so many features that we don’t need and that can actually slow them down or eat into battery life that it makes sense to make some adjustments. The video deals with both new settings and longstanding features that continue to drive iPhone users crazy. They range from Apple Marketing, personalised recommendations and subscriptions (AKA spam) to notification settings, the misleadingly named ‘Privacy Preserving Ad Measurement’, the always-on display wallpaper and those annoying email signatures (no, we don’t want to give Apple free advertising in every email we sent thanks).
Of course, some of the settings they suggest turning off can actually be useful, and not everyone will want to disable all of them, for example iCloud Private Relay is designed to protect privacy, and some people have noted that there’s no need to turn off Pro Res 48MP photo since it’s easy to toggle in the camera app itself, and some photographers may want to have the option to shoot in 48MP at least sometimes.
But it’s true that many of the features are unnecessary for many users. There are many you would never know were there, but slowly and surely they’re affecting the phone’s performance. Many people have reacted positively in the comments. One person wrote: “For apple supposedly being so secure and easy to use, it’s quite crazy that we have to do all of this just to optimize it for basic use cases.”

A “hauntingly beautiful” photograph of the Milky Way rising over the ruins of a Tudor mansion has won the top prize in the South Downs National Park astrophotography competition.
The image, taken by Richard Murray from Waterlooville, Hampshire, captures the night-time scene at Cowdray ruins in Midhurst, West Sussex, claiming the top prize in the contest which attracted 60 entries.
In September 1793, while it was undergoing repairs and refurbishments for the impending marriage of the 8th Viscount Montague, a devastating fire destroyed most of the property, leaving the ruins that remain.
The competition celebrates the national park’s status as one of only 20 International Dark Sky Reserves in the world, which recognises the region as one of the best places globally to stargaze.
South Downs lead ranger Dan Oakley said of the winning image: “It’s such a well-framed image and shows what the landscape would have been like a couple of centuries ago.
“It’s a great little chocolate box photo of the South Downs.”
Mr Murray, who wins a £100 prize, said: “We were blessed with crystal clear skies and I was lucky enough to be able to capture this shot of the Milky Way rising behind the Cowdray ruins.
“It demonstrates that you don’t have to travel too far from town to enjoy the spectacular dark skies the South Downs National Park has to offer.
“The national park has such a wide variety of beautiful landscapes and buildings to photograph and is truly a special part of the UK, both by day and night.”
Runner-up in the main category, was a shot of the moon rising behind Beachy Head lighthouse, near Eastbourne taken by Andrew Parker, who wins a £75 prize.
Mr Parker, who lives in south east London, said: “Despite travelling around the country to pursue my hobby of landscape and astrophotography I still go to the South Downs more than most other places. The skies around Birling Gap are fantastic.”
The judges were wowed by the photography of a toad crossing a road near Cuckmere Haven, in East Sussex, by Peter Brooks from Eastbourne, who wins a £100 prize.
Mr Oakley said: “I like this image because it’s a bit different. It sums up the theme of ‘nature at night’ and really highlights the fragility of nature.”
Mr Brooks said: “I took this particular image to highlight the dangers toads face when migrating back to their breeding ponds.”
