The Back to the Future Project by Irina Werning

Wednesday, November 23, 2011 - 04:10

Did it ever occurred to you at young age and wondered how you would like in 20 years? Well, a photographer from Buenos Aires named Irina Werning builded this wonderful project called Back to the Future series. She's taking different people's old pictures and recreates them in the same space, almost with the same clothes and of course with the same person with an average 20 years older from the original picture. I really admire the attention she took to recreate those pictures with a touchy and hilarious feel at the same time. I love old photos. I admit being a nosey photographer. As soon as I step into someone else’s house, I start sniffing for them. Most of us are fascinated by their retro look but to me, it’s imagining how people would feel and look like if they were to reenact them today... A few months ago, I decided to actually do this. So, with my camera, I started inviting people to go back to their future. For more information about Irina Werning, you can visit her website...

Astonishing Photographs of Weird Creatures by Daniel Stoupin

Wednesday, November 23, 2011 - 16:22

These seem to have come straight out of a sci-fi movie. These are some alien-looking animals that photographer Daniel Stoupin captured through microscope observation. These creatures are so weird to us that we would never expect that such tiny animals would look this different. Some even look like meteors in outer space. For more of Daniel's amazing work, you may visit his portfolio at Behance, and there you may even check a video of these little guys in motion. I hope you enjoy these. Cheers! ;) A water flea with offspring A ceriodaphnia with internal parts visible. Alien-looking water flea Cyclops, a freshwater copepod visible in polarized light. Size of the crustacean is about 0.5 mm. Cyclops The eye of a water flea (Polyphemus pediculus). Another water flea, the body is surrounded with shell. Head of a mosquito larva (Culex sp.) in polarized light. The bright white bands in the head are muscles that move the mouth...

Funny Illustrated Thoughts by Levni Yilmaz

Wednesday, November 23, 2011 - 18:04

This post is actually more about a different source of inspiration, I stumbled on this video series called "Tales of Mere Existence" sometime ago and, besides the fact the drawings were not too much academic, the main idea of illustrating your thoughts on somewhat kind of animation it's so cool. This guy, Levni, got some really interesting ideas from observations on a bus seat to some deeper subjects as life meaning. I selected some of my favorites videos from him, so I hope you guys enjoy it and have as fun as me. Levni got a plenty of videos, so If you want to see more just access his Youtube channel.
