Designed to resemble a lomo camera, this itty-bitty pinhole camera by Francesco Capponi is small enough to fit on the tip of your finger, yet is still capable of taking viewable photos.

Creator Francesco Capponi uploaded photos of his creation to MAKE’s photo pool on Flickr.

What a awesome piece of work. These photographs are breathtaking, capturing the majestic gigantic icebergs. While some describe architectural forms as cathedrals of ice, others look like they have been made by human hands.

But only the wind and rain of Antarctica shaped these arches, pillars and buttresses throughout decades of southern storms. These amazing images are brought to us by Steven Kazlowski, a photographer who toured the area of the he western Antarctic Peninsula on a 62-foot sailing boat. More on his website: Lefteyepro.

Near Hudson Lake in Manitoba, German wildlife photographer Norbert Rosing spotted a polar bear coming near his sled dogs. He took pictures of what he thought would be the end of his dogs.
Apparently the bear came back every night for a week to play with the dogs.

Erwin Olaf was born in 1959 in the small town of Hilversum, The Netherlands. He originally pursued a career in journalism, attending the School for Journalism in Utrecht. There, Olaf discovered photography and film. Olaf has become best known for his intricate, witty style of commercial photography and for his incredibly cutting edge personal work.

Have a look to this great portfolio: Erwin Olaf


Olaf has received multiple awards for campaigns completed for Heineken, Diesel Dirty Denim, Nicorette and Lavazza Coffee. International recognition has come from The Association of Photographers, London; the PDN Photography Annual, New York; and the Silver Lion, Cannes. Olaf’s work has also been exhibited worldwide. In 2003, The Netherlands Groninger Museum dedicated its entire space to Erwin Olaf’s 25th Silver Jubilee retrospective.

The works included in this prominent exhibition were then compiled for the highly acclaimed book Silver. Other solo exhibitions have been staged in major museums in Sydney, Bologna, Prague, Antwerp, Lodz, and Moscow, and galleries in Milan, Madrid, Paris, New York, and Hong Kong. Olaf is now currently in the planning stages of directing his first feature film, a children’s science fiction picture. Olaf lives and works in Amsterdam. It talks of gender issues, sex, violence, body, entertainment, fashion, beauty… Some of his most provocative series were on display: Chessmen, Blacks, Mature, Fashion Victims, Royal Blood, Paradise ‘the Club’, Separation, Paradise Portraits, New York Times Couture, etc.

Polish artists Szymon Roginski & Kasia Korzeniecka have photographed this unusual collection of photo sculptures artwork by Sharif Zawideh for fashion designer Ania Kuczynska‘s 2009 fashion collection. The photos were printed and then transformed into a variety of shapes and assembled back together to display the image.

The photographs of Nicholas Hughes play with light and seeing at the extreme ends of lightness and darkness. In his earlier work, his large white on white on white photographs were like whispers of tone and nuance that rewarded the viewer when your eyes could finally detect the delicacy and wonder and richness of what was there with such subtlety.

http://www.nicholas-hughes.net/’s work examines the space between the world that people inhabit and that which nature still claims as its own. In this intermediary space between the two, the photographer seeks to explore the essence of the human spirit and its relationship with nature. However Hughes’s contemplation of the distant horizon is by no means simply a perpetuation of the Romantic, for he sees the notion of the natural world as forever vast and mysterious, quickly evaporating. By focusing on boundaries, plains and surfaces he acknowledges the limits humanity have imposed on the natural world and contemplates the future for both.

Nazroo, a mahout (elephant driver), poses for a portrait while taking his elephant, Rajan, out for a swim in front of Radha Nagar Beach in Havelock, Andaman Islands. Rajan is one of the few elephants in Havelock that can swim, so when he is not dragging timber in the forest he is used as a tourist attraction. The relationship between the mahout and his elephant usually lasts for their entire lives, creating an extremely strong tie between the animal and the human being.

I was in the front car of the short subway between Pudong and the Bund, and was treated to the wonderful spectacle of an oncoming train in the tunnel’s changing light show. I put my camera up to the window and shot as fast as possible to get this image. (Photo and caption by Gail von Bergen Ryan)

Despite their aggressive reputation, loud screams and fierce, piercing looks, the red-tailed hawks at the park north of Burlington, just west of the Colorado-Kansas border, were being bullied when Gaines saw them.

“I’ve never seen red-tails harassed so much. They all seemed hoarse. I felt kind of sorry for them,” said Gaines of the sight of dozens of little birds dive-bombing the hawks.

As the first mate on a 118-foot motor yacht, Vince Lauro has the opportunity to continuously travel across the Caribbean. This photograph was taken near a small key famous for the “swimming pigs.” A colony of pigs lives on the key, and they often swim near visiting boats. To capture this clear image Lauro said, “I had to lure this pig into an undisturbed area with its favourite food: fresh watermelon.”

MIT Scientist Michael Hawley wrote this book in order to fund the education of the Bhutanese children. In spite of being a beautiful country, there are tourist restrictions and thus has contributed to the poverty there. The book costs $30, 000.
