Love this series by Annica Lydenberg (aka Dirty Bandits). It is called I‘m a Piece of Garbage and it is made up of items taken from the trash and painted with self deprecating but humorous phrases.

This is the work of Dean West, an Australian-born photographer and visual artist. Highly staged, surreal images that look like paintings, but are in fact reassembled from memory! West stages his photographs with actors and draws inspiration from artists like David Hockney and Edward Hopper, but also from Hollywood and American retro in general. Very cinematic!

Food gradients by Brittany Wright
I just love looking at these images by Seattle-based photographer Brittany Wright. This food photographer knows how to capture food properly: usually in rows, sorted by size and color, often arranging her food to look like a rainbow. Multi-color carrots and peppers!
Is it a frog, or is it 5 humans painted to look like a frog? Look closely in these animal photographs, and you may notice that they are not actually animals, but humans in incredible body-paint. Inspired by nature, musician and body-painting artist Johannes Stoetter creates amazingly detailed paintings of animals on the bodies of living models. Each of these take up to 8 hours of work to complete, but also need up to 5 months of planning. Unbelievable.

One of my favorite websites is Daily Overview, a project that brings you new breathtaking satellite images of earth every day. They now announced the release of a book called Overview, with a collection of the best images (overviews), as well as new ones.
Looks like a great idea for a gift !
I just love JR‘s installations. For the last years, the artist’s large-scale photographic print projects have been popping out in public spaces all around the world. His latest public artwork is in Paris: He just finished a large photographic piece that wraps the glass pyramid outside the Louvre Museum, causing it to disappear against the museum’s facade.
This is a small selection from the beautiful photographic work of Fan Ho, one of Asia’s most celebrated street photographers. Fan Ho was born in Shanghai in 1931, but immigrated with his family to Hong Kong at an early age.
His atmospheric black and white pictures capture the spirit of Hong Kong in the 1950s and 60s, using light and smoke for a dramatic effect. He photographed people on the street, workers, kids, cityscapes, the harbor. He also combined all this with unexpected geometric compositions and you can see from early on, that his photographic work had a real cinematic style.
Except from photographer, Ho is also a film director and actor and has won over 280 awards from international exhibitions and competitions worldwide.
(thank you Elias!)
Humanæ is a “work in progress” by the Brazilian Angélica Dass, who is attempting to create a chromatic range of the different human skin colors. Volunteers with different nationalities, gender, age, race, social class and religion are photographed by Dass, while their skin color is matched to Pantone swatches.
The project is ongoing and as the photographer says “it will include all those who want to be part of this colossal global mosaic. The only limit would be reached by completing all of the world’s population.”
Sounds ambitious, but it helps when projects like this one, help us see the true colors of the world.

An interesting project by German photographer Josef Schulz, these are classic American roadside signs with all the branding and text digitally removed. They kind of remind you something, but look really weird without the logos.
‘Josef Schulz always photographs the billboards alongside US highways and in the shopping centres from below, in front of a uniform sky. What these boards refer to lies outside the sphere of the pictures; we can only speculate. In addition, the billboards were also stripped of their writing and logos during postprocessing. Deprived of their message and their function they are turned into empty speech bubbles.’
