Exploring the limit of food photography.

Austrian photographer Klaus Pichler bravely explore how far he can push the limits of food photography, and the result is pure art.

Not only do these photographs comment on food waste but it also makes you think about just how much food you let rot.

These images that were once delicious strawberries, oranges and other everyday grocery items are bold and striking amongst other many things.

Strawberries

Carrots

Apple

Potatoes

Flour

Oranges

Cauliflower

This definitely makes me think twice about what I should buy when I do my groceries to minimize unnecessary purchase that may one day end up looking like the above.

Bulky Giants To Structural Charms!

How many times have you seen electrical towers that appear to be bulky structural giants, which look completely out of place on grass hillsides and vast empty spaces of land? Only of course one photographer (Steffen Schrägle) can make something so industrial and out of place look ethereal.

However there is another option, to change the form of the electrical towers to suit the environment around it and mimic the natural aesthetics. A Moscow-based design studio (Design Depot) did just that. They realized a design concept that could potentially solve this visual dilemma by making the towers appear more natural and also they added a touch of character.

Welcome to the darkside!

' Dark side of the lens' is an incredibly inspiring video—a short film of a surf photographer directed by Mickey Smith. The first time I viewed it everything in the room literally went silent and I didn't realize until it was over that I had been holding my breath!

It is a story about having passion for what you do and how you see the world and its not about where the destination takes you but to enjoy every minute of it.

The cinematography is just astounding!

6 Beautiful Shots Of A Toronto Sunset

About a week ago I took some really great shots of the Toronto sunset, thanks to the great idea from my friend. I just love the colors that you can see in theses shots and the trademark CN tower in the background.

Sometime I forget how great the city of Toronto is.

How Much Do You Accumulate?

Have you ever wondered how you have accumulated so much stuff? Well I have, and seeing these photos by photographer Huang Qingjun and Ma Hongjie, makes me wonder how much space I would need to display my possessions. These two photographers went around photographing Chinese families in front of their houses with all of their possessions displayed outside.

Aisha On The Cover Of Times

The August 9^th issue of Times magazine shocked me to my core. Featured was a picture of a young 18 yrs old girl, Aisha, whose nose and ears were cut off by her husband at the request of the Taliban.

My first thought in seeing this photo was how stunningly beautiful she is, even without her nose and ears. I originally tweeted about it on August 22^nd, but I strongly feel that her story needs to be heard. However it is incredibly important to point out that even after everything that has happened, you can see how strong and beautiful she is.

The photographer who shot Aisha, is Jodi Bieber, attached is a video of Bieber talking about her approach in making the photograph.
