Focuses on the individual in a crowd. It particularly imitates the way in which the human eye observes: Not viewing a crowd as a crowd, but observing little micro-scenes inside of it.

Mesmerizing. I love the philosophy behind this project. Capturing what words can’t describe, photography can’t capture, or video will overlook, but GIF can, or rather a partial animation can captured. It captured an experience in an instance. Head over to Nicolas’ site to explore more of this project.

Just spend almost an hour on Matthew Piper’s portfolio site, looking at beautiful photographs especially the vehicle section, love it.

These photographs are breathtakingly beautiful.

Cristina De Middel is a photojournalist. Her series “Afronauts” captures the narrative of Zambia’s failed attempt to put man on the moon in a dignified, triumphant light. Her dossier reads:

“Afronauts’ is based on the documentation of an impossible dream that only lives in the pictures.”

Zambia didn’t put space boots on the moon, but these photographs show a quilted portrait of not shattered, unattained dreams, but nationalist hope and determination. There’s some published pieces out there that tries to paint Zambia’s space ambitions in the 1960’s as an absurdity. If you wish to see Zambia unattained goals in that light, I can only wonder want you think of Newt Ginrich’s ambitions for a moon colony while running for office in a country that isn’t funding lunar exploration either. We all have ambitions. Here’s to the dreamers.

I love the photography works and definitely love the story behind it.
