Cityscapes ART by Jeremy Mann
San Francisco-based artist Jeremy Mann lives and works in San Francisco where he executes these sublime, moody cityscapes using oil paints. To create each work he relies on a wide range of techniques including surface staining, the use of solvents to wipe away paint, and the application of broad, gritty marks with an ink brayer. The resulting paintings are dark and atmospheric, urban streets seemingly drenched in rain and mystery. Mann’s work is in no way limited to cityscapes, he also paints the human figure, still lifes, and landscapes. He currently has work at John Pence Gallery (more…)
Awesome B&W Photography by Oleg Milyutin
This guy makes amazing B&W captures in so unique way and in many ways it became his personal seal. He captures the essence of common urban life and in his own way makes the point of the story. If You saw just one of his incredible good shots, I believe You could recognize his work for all others as well. All of his work are so similar but yet each one tells a story on its own. I always liked black and white photography and Oleg Milyutin with all of his creativity, makes it looks like multi-dimensional hyper space in some special and so unique approach. Definitely MUST SEE and worth for sharing. (more…)

Double Sunset. My Way
Few years ago I watched some science documentary about binary – double planet system and I was totally thrilled by the animation and delighted with some new information I didn’t know before. In astronomy, double planet and binary planet are informal terms used to describe a binary system where both objects are of planetary mass. Though not an official classification, the European Space Agency has referred to the Earth–Moon system as a double planet. The IAU General Assembly in August 2006 considered a proposal that Pluto and Charon be reclassified as a double planet, but the proposal was abandoned. (more…)
NZ Electrical Storm, Christchurch. Photos
Thursday, September 6, 2012 7:26pm PDT
Folks in Christchurch, New Zealand, must still be talking about this week’s spectacular electrical storm, described by one meteorologist as a once-in-10-years event, producing severe hailstorms and hundreds of lightning strikes that set the twilight aglow. It was a dream night for weather photographers and Aaron Campbell made the most of the event, capturing a series of stunning images that look almost unreal.
Architect Of Emotion. Sanda Vitorovic Photography
Ansel Adamas said once: “You don’t make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.” This is the exact words I would describe Sanda Vitorovic‘s amazing captures. A pictures speaks a thousands words and when you look at Sanda’s, its more likely you found two thousands. This post is just a preview of some awesome snapshots about environment and motion, made by An architect who has fallen in love with photography. (more…)

Burning Man. The Festival That Still Smoking
Trying to explain what Burning Man is to someone who has never been to the event is a bit like trying to explain what a particular color looks like to someone who is blind. In this section you will find the peripheral definitions of what the event is as a whole, but to truly understand this event, one must participate.
Burning Man is a week-long annual event held in the Black Rock Desert in northern Nevada, in the United States. The event begins on the last Monday in August, and ends on the first Monday in September (more…)
FacePainting: Magical Self Transforming
From ancient times, FacePainting has been used for hunting, religious reasons, and military reasons (such as camouflage and to indicate membership in a military unit). Recent archaeological research shows that Neanderthals had the capability and tools for face painting; although they are no longer considered a direct ancestor of homos sapiens, they lived alongside them in some areas and it is a reasonable assumption that humanity has painted faces and bodies since the very beginning.
Conceptual Madness by Lejla Buzinkic
Her vision extends beyond the realm of the camera, creating images that resemble paintings and each image is a story. That’s what I love about her photography, it always looks as if it was taken in another world to ours, with a dreamy like atmosphere. She has an incredible vision, and you can see that in every one of her photos. I’ve been following her for a few months now and her works just continues to improve and I often find myself browsing her website, staring at one picture for more than 5 or 10 minutes… Crazy conceptual style that blows your mind!

Wrecks Photography
50 Awesome Creative Designs
Visual design is often the polar opposite of engineering: trading hard edges for subjective decisions based on gut feelings and personal experiences. It’s messy, unpredictable, and notoriously hard to measure. The apparently erratic behavior of artists drives engineers bananas. Their decisions seem arbitrary and risk everything with no guaranteed benefit — Scott Stevenson (more…)
