| It is rare to find a collection of photographs that are so amazing and captivating that you don’t care where they are from, what they are of, how they were taken… Jon Edwards (via Flickr) has some images that are so beautiful - the subjects (even as scary as some are) don’t even matter. This is as beautiful as experimental photography gets. I also think I’m naming him the king of double exposures.

Another great find from 125 Magazine. If I had a brief moment of psychedelic reveries every time I saw a beautiful girl like seen in That 70s Show - the moving pictures like “Rianne” would be exactly what they looked like - (without the psychedelic part). The moving pictures are something I’ve never seen before - and I wish this was something we see more often. It would be pretty different to see something like these on TV, but it would be nice to see these small little fashion / sexy clips between late night shows - maybe in place of those horrible chat-with-local-singles hotline ads?

| Just saw this great spread in 125 Magazine. “Hit & Run” under “Personal” is vividly funny - it seems as if this Audi TT is out to kill every young male in the parking structure. Check out “In Motion” under “Personal” also - beautiful women dancing in front of a cloudy, colored, dream-like background. If only our dreams actually did look this great…

I saw Yusuke’s photographs at the Art Center College of Design grad show last year - I was mesmerized by every single one. The words in her About Me and a special “Haiku” equally match the thought and beauty put into each of her works.

I love Andrea Klarin. Especially “Wild Rose” under Editorial.

I forget how I found Reka Nyari, but it has to do something with her going to the same jr. college that I did. I”m not sure if her clients” choices in models are great, or if its her lighting, but her simple studio shots seem to make the model’’s curves better than in a Victoria’’s Secret commercial. She also has some really cool club/party shots. A favorite flickr member of mine!

Some of the most amazing images! Corey Arnold is an Alaskan Sea Fisher and a photographer. Those two words combined may mean he’’s also suicidal? His pictures are far more vivid than the television shows you see on the Discovery Channel about deep sea and/or Arctic fishing. They are also quite funny. The one to the left is for an exhibit that I currently cannot remember the name or museum, but involves always a horse and a cat!? An image of some native people somewhere in the Arctic surrounded by their hunted moos or elk (whatever is the correct species) is saddening to animal lovers, but amazing to see how happy they are with living in such a remote land. He has a hilarious blog on his extremely well designed site too.

As casual as it sounds (only because I have it somewhat often), I woke up this morning paralyzed. Never before had I thought of researching it to see if it was an actual medical problem, and turns out: it is. After reading about it, I am quite thankful that I don’t have the hallucinations that most people experience, yet I am simply paralyzed for a minute or so when I force myself to wake up, as I frequently do being a lucid dreamer. Episodes are caused by a misconnection between the end of REM sleep and the trigger to un-paralyze the body (that is paralyzed normally during REM). Anyway, while researching I found this amazing, amazing Japanese photographer who has imagined and photographed what it is like for some, as well as many other disease and disorder related problems.
