This is what I call comfort food! These soft and adorable food-props are created by Jessica Dance, a UK-based art director, model maker and prop stylist. All the food is made out of wool, because she knits all of them on her knitting machine using 100% lambswool. It is part of The Comfort Food Series in collaboration with photographer David Sykes.

A trend I have noticed is that many photographers/artists are making a social comment about the excessive use of mobiles and tablets:
In his project titled Removed, photographer Eric Pickersgrill removed personal devices from images with an unexpected result. And in the Sur-Fake series, designer/photographer Antoine Geiger shows faces sucked(!) by smartphones and screens. I find the last one kind of freaky.

I am sharing a selection of images I saw through Instagram yesterday, just after the initial shock to the horrible events in Paris.
Stephen Shore is considered one of the most legendary American photographers, but personally, I just discovered his photography work. I often prefer b&w photography but Shore uses color so good: he is among the earliest fine art photographers to work almost exclusively in color. His photographs usually depict seemingly ordinary scenes but the use of color and composition make the images captivating. This is a small selection from his photographs. Enjoy.

I love this view angle of Angkor Wat, in Cambodia photographed from high up for the Daily Overview website. Constructed in the 12th century, it is the largest religious monument in the world and one of the most fascinating places I have ever been.
All color and b&w photographs taken during all the Apollo missions are uploaded on this fascinating Flickr gallery. These historic photographs are all unprocessed, high resolution film scans provided by NASA and the Johnson Space Center. You can also see the famous 1969 photos of the first landing on the moon which was during Apollo mission 11 .
This is also a fun video: someone thought of putting together all the Apollo photos in a video, making it look like stop motion animation.
Miniature calendar is the project of Japanese art director Tatsuya Tanaka. On a daily basis, Tanaka creates miniature scenes of everyday life combining his collection of diorama dolls with other familiar objects. I love it how everyday things become more fun when imagined in a different way.

I have been following the French street artist JR for some time and I just saw that the poster of his new short movie ELLIS is out. The film will be out in the US in October and hopefully we will be able to see it at some point. It is part of a series of projects about Ellis Island, the gateway to the United States for 12 million immigrants.
The short film explores parts of the island that nobody visited in over 70 years, and pays respect to to all those who were not given a chance at the American Dream. “It’s a fiction, that slowly connects to the reality,” JR explains. “I asked Robert De Niro to play an immigrant that’s been there and never got accepted, and ended up being a ghost in this island. You see things from his point of view, telling his story and it slowly connects to what happens today.”
Last year the artist also hosted a very interesting photo installation called Unframed – Ellis Island, on the walls of the old abandoned hospital on the island, which closed in 1954.
Who would have thought there could be such a range of color hues in garage doors! Photographer Agne Gintalaite has captured beautifully painted garage doors near her hometown in Lithuania. “It is the fascinating play of colour and texture that I attempted to capture with my camera” she says. The project is called Beauty Remains, because it signifies the beauty of these doors that have stood the test of time. “As long as they last, this uncanny beauty remains.”

Daily overview is a project that brings you breathtaking images (overviews) of earth from above. Everyday, a new satellite image is posted focusing on the places and moments where human activity—for better or for worse—has shaped the landscape.
The project was inspired, and derives its name, from an idea known as the Overview Effect:
“The Overview Effect, first described by author Frank White in 1987, is an experience that transforms astronauts’ perspective of Earth and mankind’s place upon it. Common features of the experience are a feeling of awe for the planet, a profound understanding of the interconnection of all life, and a renewed sense of responsibility for taking care of the environment.”
