Space Shuttle Atlantis

The Space Shuttle Atlantis appears almost infinitesimally small photographed in silhouette during a solar transit — in other words, when passing between the sun and the Earth — on May 12, 2009. Beyond the sheer scale of what we’re seeing (and it’s worth remembering that somewhere around 1,000,000 Earths would fit inside our sun), this picture is just eerily beautiful.

French Connection Spring/Summer 2010 Campaign

“This is the Man” embodying a tough, classic, handsome, and intelligent person featured in a button up dress shirt, in bunny ears stating “Man Should Be Brave,” and in a trench and boots stating “Eat Meat. Dress Well.” The French Connection Manifesto states, “Men have lost the ungentle art of manliness. The man in the street doesn’t know what to bring to a knife fight. He gets nervous around large fish. He can’t tie a full Windsor. Men have forgotten how to snap a bra open with a click of their fingers—women are undoing their own bras to save time! Meanwhile guys are eating little portions of leaves and putting too much gel in their hair. They are wearing t-shirts with dope leaves and robots on them when they are over 22 years-old.”

Artist: Jake Kenny

I dig the use of real film, I dig the edits, and I’m not sure if I think it’s amateur or pro that his photos have so much legit grain but the detail sells the fuzzy nostalgia I try for in everything I do. Kenny really stretches the levels in some of these and gets some amazing in-the-moment shots and I’m definitely down.

Artist: Mark Coreth – Melting Polar Bear Ice Sculpture

This melting polar bear ice sculpture, created by artist Mark Coreth, was presented last week in Copenhagen and sponsored by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) to create an awareness on the human impact on the climate. As it melts, a skeleton appears..

And here is an inspiring interview with Mark Coreth.

Artist: Tviga Vasilyeva – Soundstills

Soundstills by Tviga Vasilyeva. The white forms in these photographs are the sculptural manifestations of audio footage that was recorded along the border between Russia and Finland. So amazing, I love these. Click here to view the rest of the set.

“The soundwaves are actual objects, reminiscent of the height of a tree. I recorded them when the forest was still there. When the trees had gone, I put the ‘sounds’ back to where they used to exist, sounds that look like trees that will never be heard again.”

Philippe Ramette Vs. Tim Walker

It’s hard to say if Tim Walker has borrowed from Ramette, or come up with the idea on his own. Tim Walker’s surreal photograph’s have included Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter and work for Hermès luxury goods manufacturer. Is it possible for us to be unaffected by our surroundings? Is it possible for us to make anything original anymore, or will we just borrow from outside sources? Either way, surreal photographs offer us an exciting glimpse of the world we know, in a way we may not be used to seeing it. When you take Photoshop out of the equation, I feel these pictures take on a whole new level of ingenuity and skill.
