It’s nothing more than crumpled paper. But it’s also shot and lit in a way that makes it so much more interesting.

Great inverted photographies of mountains by Dan Holdsworth. He has some more interesting projects at his site http://www.danholdsworth.com. The site itself is brilliant by the way. Very clean and super-efficient.

Excellent photography by Marcel Musil.

Sonnenzimmer is a Chicago based art and screen print studio. Lots and lots of great and unusual posters and other graphic pieces.

Nick Risinger took a photo of the night sky. A panorama shot of the entire visible sky from earth. A 5.000 megapixel photograph stitched together from 37,440 exposures. Zoom in and out of it on his site. What a view.

p.s. In his twitter stream he mentioned a very fitting Calvin and Hobbes strip:

Beautiful photographies of cathode ray tubes at the moment they are switched off.

Chinese artist Liu Bolin gets himself painted until he melts into the background and is almost invisible. Look closer!

A lot of funny, sad and strange things happened exactly at that moment the Google Streetview car drove by and shot the scenery. Jon Rafman collects them in his tumblr at http://9eyes.tumblr.com. Parties, children, razzias, accidents and some nudity. Some not for the faint of heart, but there surely is some everyday poetry behind these terabytes of data on Google‘s servers.

I took some photos of of tree structures with my iPhone the last days and manipulated them with the Pictureshow App.

See all five shots on Flickr.

I‘m on Elternzeit again, which means I spend lots of time with the two kids. Which again means: Lots of walks in the gorgeous October sun. I just uploaded three new iPhone shots to my flickr.

A little detail from my desk after an intense cutting session.

This looks like a digital rendering of some fantasy art, but it's an honest photograph: Fireflies in a forest, shot with long exposure times, so that the light dots paint trails between the trees. These are from Kristian Cvecek a amateur photographer and full time physicist from Erlangen, Germany.

These recent photos of Saturn and its system of moons could as easily be viewed as graphic compositions. Seems there must be somebody with a great feel for aesthetics at NASA.

The ISO50 blog pointed me to The Soft Moon a young post-punk band from San Francisco. Especially the lo-fi black-and-white abstract video for Parallels (above) got my attention. It turned out that the band just added the audio to an existing very old piece of expressionistic movie history: Rhythm 23 by Hans Richter from the year 1923. Inspiring!

Such a simple idea, yet so much Awwwwwwwwwww!

Done with iPhone 4 and Camera+ cross process.

Not only is John Carey of fiftyfootshadows.net an excellent photographer, he is also kind enough to bundle up 33 of his images optimized to use it as a background on a iPhone 4 high res display. Sweet!

Just a little heads up: I am currently on family holiday in a sweet spot in the Allgäu alps. We took our Nikon D90 and of course my iPhone 4 with us. Some fresh photos of mountains, trees and the occasional baby photo might hit my flickr account this week: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tlman/
