I don’t know how many times I have fallen asleep with my face in a book, although lately I’m falling asleep with my laptop. I know I’m gonna kill it that way and have to go back to reading books before bed.

Check out this whimsical series of photos titled Get Back in Your Book from Canadian photographer Lissy Elle.

Hyper, 2007

I love these photos from French photographer Denis Darzacq. I’ve seen suspended motion photographs many times before but what makes these stand out is the supermarket and it’s vibrant color as a backdrop.

Robbie Augspurger’s Hot Mess Hipster Head Shots

Culture Whores — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 19:11:45 +0000

Portland Oregon photographer Robbie Augspurger’s series of head shots remind me of those awkward high school photos that no one ever wants to see again. The outfits and hair styles in these shots, do resemble the hipster hot mess retro styles often seen in the Mission district of San Francisco, except the phones aren’t as cool.

Domesticated

Culture Whores — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 18:30:00 +0000

There is a strange calmness I love about these photographs from Amy Stein’s Domesticated series. For anyone who lives in the American west, close to the foothills or in the mountains, there is probably sense a familiarity with some of these images.

My photographs serve as modern dioramas of our new natural history. Within these scenes I explore our paradoxical relationship with the “wild” and how our conflicting impulses continue to evolve and alter the behavior of both humans and animals.
