DAAAAAAMMN
Are these even real? Bas Princen aims to create landscapes which "can only exist in a camera" and utilizes natural and urban architechture to construct his visions. Trained in architechture as well as photography, Princen is well versed in merging aesthetic design with utility. As such, his completed compositions seem to blur the lines between what is natural and what is man-made, leading to questions about human purpose, human impact, and natural history.
They're pretty mindblowing to look at.

PASSAGEWAYS TO WINDOWS THAT DON'T CLOSE
I discovered these photos by James Pomerantz on Beautiful/Decay, a blog which never fails to inspire.
The pictures were taken in Mexico at the site of a natural sinkhole which connects to a subterranean body of water. Ancient Mayans used the cenote as a source for fresh water and also believed that it was a portal to the afterlife.
Pomerantz says that the caves are not actually as dark as they appear in the photos, but that he intentionally isolates the sunshine in order to heighten the sense of isolation and mysticism.

MIRROR, MIRROR

I'm pretty sure that Francisco Infante-Arana and Nonna Gorunova must own a shoddy, prehistoric, and suicidal computer just like mine. That's why they've relied upon old-fashioned tricks like mirrors and shadows to create the ambiguities present in their photographs. Or at least, that's the only reason I can surmise for the amount of detailed planning and accurate execution these must take. Nevermind photoshop, these are amazing all on their own!

ANDREW CLARK



Currently inspired by these illustrations by Andrew Clark. They're all about contrast; nature versus science, realistic versus geometric imagery, black and white versus colour. All valid points of view from which to view the world.

TIME AND SPACE







I love the idea behind these photos. This kind of project could be put to highly effective use here in Winnipeg, where the most beautiful old downtown architechture has been degraded to the point of housing nothing more than Giant Tiger discount outlets or worse yet, nothing.
