The 40-page story includes images by Wu, covers how new technology is helping archeologists solve the mysteries of the origin of Stonehenge, and also looks into the unique challenges that face the ancient monument in modern times. “As one of the most photographed landmarks in the world, I knew I needed to show Stonehenge in a way it has never been seen before. In this 25 multiple exposure time-lapse and image, the massive stones are lit from above by a powerful light, attached to a drone. With this kind of lighting, I was able to bring a new, unfamiliar atmosphere to the monument, one that felt timeless, and spoke to the potency and ancient lore of the site.” — Reuben Wu [August Issue of National Geographic – Stonehenge Revealed]( [Learn more on our Blog!]( One of the world's iconic monuments, Stonehenge has been studied for centuries. Yet new technologies, says archaeologist Vince Gaffney, are "transforming our understanding of ancient landscapes – even Stonehenge, a place we thought we knew well." (Reuben Wu / National Geographic; image made with 11 layered exposures) Discovered in 1925 from aerial photographs of a wheat field, Woodhenge included six concentric rings of towering timbers, their locations now marked by concrete pillars. Like nearby Stonehenge, the structure was built to align with the rising sun on the summer solstice. (Reuben Wu / National Geographic; image made with five layered exposures) [View available works by Reuben Wu on photo-eye's Website]( [Inquire about Reuben Wu](mailto:gallery@photoeye.com?subject=Reuben%20Wu%20Print%20Inquiry&body=Hello%2C%20I'm%20interested%20in%20Reuben%20Wu%20and%20would%20like%20to%20purchase%20a%20print.)

[MIDWEST MATERIALS in the Bookstore]( For her third monograph, Midwest Materials, Julie Blackmon has created a new body of work that sparkles with the wit, dark humor and irony for which the photographer has gained such renown. Finding insight and inspiration in the seeming monotony of her “generic American hometown” of Springfield, Missouri, Blackmon constructs a captivating, fictitious world that is both playful and menacing. “I think of myself as a visual artist working in the medium of photography,” Blackmon notes, “and my assignment is to chart the fever dreams of American life.” [Anne Kelly & Julie Blackmon on Inspiration, Play and Image Making]( “When I began taking pictures, I was primarily interested in documenting the lives of my five sisters and myself as we raised families in the Ozarks in the 21st century. My goal was to capture the mythical in the ordinary, and I gradually began introducing narrative strands into the photos, hoping to create visual fables that reflected deeper truths. I wanted to explore and critique the way we live today, so there have always been snakes lurking in the backyard gardens of my imagination — someone once told me that my work was one part Norman Rockwell and one part Norman Bates.” – Julie Blackmon Blackmon’s latest works retain her signature combination of compelling visual allure and subtly off-kilter incidents — in some cases with a more serious edge, as the artist probes the fever dreams of a restless nation. Still hewing to her deliberately restricted, yet ever-expressive, palette of subjects — jungle-gym jealousies, yard-sale intrigues, and sibling smackdowns — Blackmon finds ample room to explore political developments.
