quote ["When you cover someone in the honey, it has the effect of making them look like they’re in amber—that they’re preserved," Little says. "And that’s how I came up with the idea and started calling the pictures the preservation photographs"].

Mind-Bending Photography by Erik Johansson

quote [Erik Johansson is a Swedish-born artist based in Berlin who creates surreal images by recombining photographs and other materials. He captures ideas by combining images in new ways to create what looks like a real photograph, yet with logical inconsistencies to impart an effect of surrealism. Some finished images are the combination of "hundreds of original photographs" as well as raw materials, and Johansson spends dozens of hours using image manipulation software such as Adobe Photoshop to alter the image digitally and to illustrate his idea].

A Love Story as seen from above

Me and You by london-based director Jack Tew is short film about a couple that was shot entirely from above.
quote [The clip offers a voyeuristic aerial view of a couple’s relationship, as it unfolds over the course of seven minutes. We can watch the young love blossom, from a movie date over the first time they have sex until the heartbreaking end. Seems like Jack Tew is pretty disillusioned with love. Though it's still very nicely done and probably happened like that many times around the world. You can watch a Making Of here].

Tree Change Dolls

Tree Change Dolls is a project about taking old discarded toys and giving them a new lease on life, cerated by an artist, illustrator and science communicator based in Hobart, Tasmania. Facebook.

quote: "...these dolls have been rescued and rehabilitated from op-shops and tip shops around Tasmania. These lil fashion dolls have opted for a "tree change", swapping high-maintenance glitz 'n' glamour for down-to-earth style. I hand repaint the dolls faces, mold new shoes, and my Mum sews and knits their clothing. My sisters and I grew up playing with second-hand dolls and home-made toys in the beautiful Tasmanian natural environment. I love the satisfaction of repairing and reusing discarded items to give them a new lease on life".

Paintbrush Portraits by Rebecca Szeto

"These works are an homage to an often lost sensibility and quality, not simply the modernist stylings, found in Old Masters' works. They (con)fuse realities between politics (labor with leisure) and consumerism (trash and treasure), pointing to an endless loop of transformative regeneration. The brush and its action is also ripe for wordplay: Women's work and their brush off from prior annals of art history as well as material puns about bristling at waste and patriarchy" says the San Francisco-based artist Rebecca Szeto, referring to her ongoing series of Paintbrush Portraits.

The Caves of Ra Paulette

Ra Paulette digs cathedral-like, 'eighth wonder of the world' art caves into the sandstone cliffs of Northern New Mexico. Each creation takes him years to complete, and each is a masterwork. But patrons who have commissioned caves have cut off nearly all of his projects due to artistic differences. Fed up, Ra has chosen to forego commissions altogether and create a massive, 10-year project, his Magnum Opus.
In 2010 Ra was approached by Jeffrey Karoff about making a film documenting Ra’s work. The result is the award winning short film CaveDigger.

A Drone Over Chernobyl

Postcards from Pripyat, Chernobyl by Danny Cooke who earlier this year had the opportunity to visit Chernobyl whilst working for CBS News on a '60 Minutes' episode which aired on Nov. 23, 2014. Bob Simon is the correspondent. Michael Gavshon and David Levine, producers.

quote [Chernobyl is one of the most interesting and dangerous places I've been. The nuclear disaster, which happened in 1986 (the year after I was born), had an effect on so many people, including my family when we lived in Italy. The nuclear dust clouds swept westward towards us. The Italian police went round and threw away all the local produce and my mother rushed out to purchase as much tinned milk as possible to feed me, her infant son. It caused so much distress hundreds of miles away, so I can't imagine how terrifying it would have been for the hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian citizens who were forced to evacuate. During my stay, I met so many amazing people, one of whom was my guide Yevgen, also known as a 'Stalker'. We spent the week together exploring Chernobyl and the nearby abandoned city of Pripyat. There was something serene, yet highly disturbing about this place. Time has stood still and there are memories of past happenings floating around us. Armed with a camera and a dosimeter geiger counter I explored...].
