Look At These Waves

This dingo coal-miner turned man-bun photographer has a short film about waves, and it's great. Much like his instagram featuring more of the same.

Being In Right Place At The Right Time

Tao Liu is a water meter reader who carries a camera with him on the job, snapping moments of people just going about their day. He has no formal training in photography. The only reason he does it is to pass the time in his unrewarding day job as he moves between meter readers. Shot Tao.

Creating Lifelike Images of American Streets Using Model Cars and Forced Perspective

For nearly 25 years Michael Smith has been working on a fictional town he refers to as Elgin Park, where all of his miniature scenes take place. To make each shot he positions an old card table at scenic points around Boston and positions his minutely detailed cars and model sets on top. Using an inexpensive point-and-shoot camera and natural light he then snaps away, simply eye-balling the perspective to get everything right.

These are his most recent photos, earlier shots from the collection have gone into a book titled Elgin Park: An Ideal American Town.

Children From Around the World With Their Favourite Toys



Shot over a period of 18 months, Italian photographer Gabriele Galimberti’s project 'Toy Stories' compiles photos of children from around the world with their most prized possesions—their toys.

Galimberti found that children in richer countries were more possessive with their toys and that it took time before they allowed him to play with them (which is what he would do pre-shoot before arranging the toys), whereas in poorer countries he found it much easier to quickly interact, even if there were just two or three toys between them. There were similarities too, especially in the functional and protective powers the toys represented for their proud owners. Across borders, the toys were reflective of the world each child was born into—economic status and daily life affecting the types of toys children found interest in.

Ice Caves In A Swiss Glacier

As beautiful as these pictures are, fuck this. After watching ice caps the size of Manhattan breaking off and melting there's no way you'd ever find my claustrophobic ass down there. I get a little sick just looking at these pics.

What The World Eats

Here are some pics taken from the book 'Hungry Planet: What the World Eats' by Peter Menzel.

The book observes what the six billion of us eat for dinner each week, while making the point that "at a time when hundreds of millions of people don't have enough to eat, hundreds of millions more are eating too much and are overweight or obese".

The above image is from Italy. More pics after the jump.
