Machel Spence is a biological photographer and captures the natural beauty all around us in its simplest form. She majored in Zoology, giving her a keen eye for the botanical mushroom/fungus photography that she produces. Logically, Spence practices a purist approach when it comes to her photography, never making any sort of post-alterations or touch-ups to her images, yet the color and richness of her images are vivid and spectacular. Check out her collections.
I love JPGs. And JPG Magazine has a lot of them. The only trouble is, their magazine is a Flash pageflipper, so they might consider renaming to SWF Magazine. If your eyes just glazed, don't worry. I'm speaking Nerd. [Photo by Bhu Sullivan]
Take a ride in Jena Ardell's time machine, kicking you back to retro summer days with her Polaroid fine art photography. Ardell's work has been featured in Elle Girl, {Frolic!}, Decor8 and The New York Times Blog, and her work is becoming increasing popular on Getty Images. Her colorful, foggy photography defiantly makes you long for sunshine and beaches and makes you feel as if your in a California dream.
What better way to welcome Spring and symbolize the triumph of good over evil? This week India celebrates Holi, or the Festival of Colors. It basically combines mischief and bright colors with a giant water balloon and powder fight. Here are some photos taken during last year's Holi day.
This is a great slideshow on Flickr. The photographer / model builder, Michael Paul Smith, explains "what started out as an exercise in model building and photography, ended up as a dream-like reconstruction of the town [he] grew up in." Props to Flavorwire for posting in their daily dose.
