Now he's back again with the video above, titled "Istanbul: Flow Through the City of Tales." Whitworth used his same ambitious hyperlapse techniques to create a dazzling tour of Istanbul, Turkey.

It might be old news that Leica opened a store in Los Angeles back in 2013, but nonetheless, it’s still a place that will be an important photography destination for years to come and definitely worth a visit if you’re in L.A.

Photographer Art Gray was on-hand (shooting on a Leica of course) to document the opening of the three-level, 8,000 square foot superstore -- a space that includes a 1,000-pound stainless steel sculpture by Liao Yibai in the form of a massive representation of a Leica aptly titled “Fake Leica” (and with a reported price tag of over $1 million).

Back in 2008, the team over at Advancing Your Photography were invited to an exclusive gallery tour of Annie Leibovitz's best photographs -- an event led by Leibovitz herself.

Back in 1966, renowned photographer Jay Maisel purchased a giant 6-floor, 35,000-square-foot, 72-room building at 190 Bowery in Manhattan for $102,000. The former NYC bank became his family's home for the next half century, and the purchase has been described as possibly "the greatest real estate coup of all time".

Here's why: in late 2014, Maisel sold the valuable property to real estate investor Aby Rosen for a whopping $55 million.

Want to see what it's like to flip through the first photo book that ever appeared in the world?

During the glory days of film photography, Fujifilm ran one of its major production facilities in Tilburg, the Netherlands. The plant was founded in 1982 and became one of the biggest manufacturing sites for the company outside of Japan, with nearly 1,000 workers producing film (reportedly up to 200 million rolls per year), photo paper, and other imaging equipment.

In 2006, Fujifilm shut down much of the operations at the plant, and now the company is auctioning off the equipment that has been sitting idle for the past 9 years.

About a year ago, we linked out to what we then believed to be the first 360-degree interactive panorama ever made of Pyongyang, North Korea. That interactive image was shot by photographer Aram Pan, but it was only the beginning.

Since then he's expanded in a big way, shooting over 40 interactive 360-degree panoramas all over the mysterious country for the DPRK 360 website and Facebook page.

Musicians go hard. And while every artist and band puts it all out on stage for the world to see, the Vans Warped Tour in particular often features a lineup of bands whose members truly give it their all, for as long as three months, day after day.

In an effort to document just how exhausting just one of these performances can be, live performance photographer, Brandon Andersen, decided to do something a little different than usual and capture a collection of before-and-after performance images of musicians whose bands were in this year’s Vans Warped Tour lineup.

The folks at Timelapse Media decided this picturesque country deserved its own "hyperlapse postcard" as they call it. And so they grabbed their cameras and got to traveling.

You've seen timelapse videos, and maybe even hyperlapse videos, but what about a juggle-lapse one? That Juggler Guy recently took his juggling balls and a GoPro camera on a trip around Iceland. What resulted is the mesmerizing video above in which the juggled balls are used for cuts between clips.

Younger photographers may not understand it, or even feel the same way, but for photographers of my generation, your studio was not just a place to take photographs -- it was a reflection of you. It told the world who you were. If you didn't have one, then you weren't really a photographer!
