Painting with Light (Part II): Picasso.

Revisiting an old favorite. I love these light drawings by Picasso, don't you? I'd love to know who was behind the camera, and what exchanges they had with him...

I'm Not There: PoL Úbeda Hervàs.

An ongoing series of portraits by photographer PoL Úbeda Hervàs who lives and works in Barcelona. He reports that the series came from changes in his life that left him unsure of who he is, but he decided to leave the shoes as a reminder that what was left was more than just a shadow.

Catching Fireflies: Yume Cyan.

Long exposure photographs of fireflies in a forested area around Nagoya City, Japan by Yume Cyan.  The bioluminescent flash of each insect results in the dotted light trails!

Things Come Apart.

Love these images from Things Come Apart, a book in which master disassembler Todd McLellan exposes the inner working of 50 objects and 21,959 individual components.

Visit Colossal for more on McLellan's vision and thoughts on the permanence of vintage objects.

Instant Stress Relief.

Bubble wrap. Who can deny the satisfaction with comes from popping those little pockets of air?? No one.

In an attempt to help minimize the stress caused from the tedium of waiting for a late train after a long day, Italian street artist Biancoshock installed sheets of bubble wrap cut into squares labeled with the approximate amount of time it would take to pop them. Brilliant.

Sleep of the Beloved.

"The Sleep of the Beloved," a series of long-exposure snapshots of slumbering couples, taken by photographer Paul Schneggenburger. I have to wonder what my sleep patterns have looked like in the last few months...
