but does it float?

Here’s a link to a random blog I look at a lot. It has a ton of images from photography to design work to painting. It”s definitely worth checking out. Here are a couple things I saw recently

John Chamberlain

I was looking at upcoming Guggenheim exhibits and found John Chamberlain. His website doesn’t have any images of his sculpture pieces that will be at the Guggenheim but he does have a ton of photography archived on his site. Unfortunately the site is from the 90’s or some archaic time so it can be a little harsh on the eyes.

Chamberlain warps his images in really interesting ways to extend rooms and almost simulate a panoramic image. He also does this thing where he stretches out faces. So weird.

Old Photos: Ancient Ruins

These were taken digitally about a year or two ago, near a park in central Maryland.

Fascinating how quickly old things can fall into ruin, and how quickly nature can take back from human civilization.

When we found what was very likely to be a Confessional Booth, we had a very good clue what the ruins used to be- some kind of Catholic Institution; a school, abbey, or church.

An otherwise good shot of the confessional, despite my mother’s head and jacket being a distraction.

Outside of the Confessional.

Inside the Confessional.

A place of worship, evidenced by the cross.

An altar, made of concrete and some rusting metal.

Most likely an empty fountain or pool, filled in and overgrown.

Thomas Czarnecki: From Enchantment to Down

Found something interesting today- Thomas Czarnecki’s series of grim Disney Fairy Tale-inspired photos.

In my opinion, the bright colors distract from the dark tone. But I can see how others would find this all the more disturbing, as the colorful dresses are a reminder that the characters come from children’s movies.

 

I think I like this one the most. The way Alice is sitting hanging her head reminds me of the scene from the animated movie where she sits down and bawls her eyes out.

This one, however, is just ridiculous:

It’s supposed to be Pocahontas, in case you couldn’t tell.
