Accidental Renaissance Photos

  huh?

  it is striking how quickly the hyperlinks twitter uses have rotted; the links are now useless with no way to recover the content, stripping this article of much of its value. All within a year.

    I only see two tweets linked, one works and the other fails because it was deleted. Are there more than I'm missing?

  There is a subreddit dedicated to such photos. Many of the top submissions are quite good. https://www.reddit.com/r/AccidentalRenaissance/top/?sort=top&t=all https://www.reddit.com/r/AccidentalRenaissance/top/?sort=top...

    For the guardian article to not mention this, where the inspiration obviously came from, feels off.

      The subreddit was made after the guardian piece was published.

    Not sure why this guardian article is on the front page. Not really news, not really tech. As info-tainment goes the subreddit is way better, thanks for the link.

  Seems like deep dream should be able to find batches of these.

  I'm confused. The writer of the article seems to think that modern photographers are unacquainted with the golden ratio. However, it's mentioned in just about any web link on composition just after the "rule of thirds". This shouldn't be surprising, and it's not at all accidental. It's entirely planned by the photographer. Kind of a weird article to write. Did they not have any photographers on staff to ask about it? (Serious question - I know that the Chicago Tribune recently fired all their photogs and now have reporters use cell phones for their photos.)
