I’ve been sitting on this one for a while, and I looked at it again and it just blew me away. A project from Ben Thomas, an Australian photographer, each location takes on an amazing fragility. It takes you a while just to work out if these are insanely brilliant scale models or not. Anyways, judge for yourself here and view the whole collection here. (as well as some other of my selections after the jump) (more…)
The brilliant Flickr streams just keep on comin’. Here’s ck/ck’s “Across America” collection, some wonderfully shot and composed images, I love how they take locations you know and give them a new perspective. Beautiful observations. Some more faves after the jump.
Continuing a recent them of excellent Flickr finds here’s a really beautiful observational collection from good friend and fellow partner in Conceptual Nutsacks crime RDH. A designer with a keen eye for the absurd to the weirdly symmetrical, it’s no surprise that the House Of Bamboo comes on like Martin Parr at his best and Vice at it’s worst (in a good sense) Flat Lemonade takes the same off kilter look at the world, with some really nice graphic interpretations of pop cultural conundrums. One(s) to watch. Some more observations after the jump. (more…)
Love this Flickr set from night photographer Troy Pavia. Shot at the Byron Hot Springs Hotel in California. Unsurprisingly legend has it that it’s haunted. The forboding use of reds, greens and blues don’t exactly allay this feel. Good stuff, more highlights after the jump. (more…)
On a similar multicoloured tip to my post on Thom Kerr, here is the stunningly realised work of Bruno Dayan. I think it’s a great mixture of vibrant and pop mysticism. It’s cracking stuff. More after the jump. (more…)
Day 2 of the tiny vices photographers, this time the great observational eye of Jennifer Juniper Stratford. More after the jump. (more…)
Via the exhaustive archives of TIny Vices, I have found some amazing photographers, so in the spirit of sharing, all this week there will be a photographer a day. Lets begin with the photo essay by Brian Ulrich on thrift stores. More after the jump. (more…)
An interesting sidebar of the election of Barack Obama was the openness he encouraged throughout the campaign through such actions as inviting photographers to document the most intimate of moments that defined the campaign. The continuing result has Obama and his subsequent administration have created a new dialogue and insight into how not just campaigns work, but now, how the West Wing and the Presidency operates in real life.

Buamai translates from Thai to ‘are you bored?’ Certainly the last thing you’ll be on this site is bored. Essentially an image aggreagtor from Flickr, it shows off some of the brilliant design, photography and weirdness that lives in the bowels of Flickr. I’d start from the Tag Cloud…
