C-Photography

Adrian Sommeling, a Netherlands-based artist, is a self-proclaimed photography addict, as he loves to tell stories through his photos. He is a master at Photoshop, as seen in the series of scenes of his children, whether they're floating above a city attached to some balloons, or just reading a story with the family, Sommeling's photos have an epically cool feel to them.

It is almost as if these photos belong in a graphic novel, as the main characters are often seen to be uncovering a mystery in a curious setting. Check out the photos below, as well as the links at the end of the article for further information regarding Sommeling's work, such as his workshops. 

At first glance, these photos wouldn't seem too out of the ordinary, but upon closer inspection, you'll definitely find something surprising. This photo series, created by Toronto-based photographer (Thomas Dagg) and simply titled Star Wars, is a throwback to the photographer's youth spent obsessing over the sci-fi franchise, and combines scenes from everyday life with images from the Star Wars universe. 

Achieving this simple-looking aesthetic took a lot more time than you'd think. It took Dagg over two years to capture all his ideas from his Star Wars-obsessed childhood. And while it may have been easier just to Photoshop images into his photographs, he instead opted to use 5" toys from his adolescence and heavily forced perspective to capture the shots--and that's exactly why this Star Wars imagery perfectly meshes with real life. Of course, it's also a nod to his boyhood daydreams of actually using a lightsaber as a baseball bat and whatever else goes on inside a young Padawan's head.

Take a look at some of Dagg's work:

Anybody with a driver's license, or anyone who has ever walked on a road, knows that potholes are one of the worst things you can encounter. These road sores pop out of nowhere and ruin your tires, not to mention make the surrounding neighborhood look aged and bent out of shape. A group of friends from Kaunas, Lithuania know this problem all too well. They call themselves "Z999," and have come up with a creative photo series that they hope will draw the government's attention toward the eyesores that are the potholes in their neighborhood. The photographers, Arturas Artiusenka and Eurika Balciute were able to capture hilarious situations of the community utilizing the potholes in exaggerated ways.

Ugh oh

Personally, I love perusing the Internet for cool pictures. Sometimes they're pictures of cats, sometimes they're informative diagrams on the state of the environment.
Today I've put together an assortment of random interesting pictures for you, ranging from historical photos to architectural design to natural phenomena. Enjoy!

2. Iranian women during the Shah's White Revolution.

3. A butterfly with the number 89 on its wing.

4. A paper USB. 

5. This truly innovative Asian version of Pringles.

Nobody wants chip crumbs on their hands. 

6. This brilliant invention. 

This seems like the beginning of a game of "Would You Rather." 

7. This startling divide. 

That would be the border between the United States and Mexico. 

8. This meeting of legends.

A teenaged LeBron James meeting Michael Jordan. 

9. This stunning photo of village life in Transylvania. 

Which is a region in Romania, FYI. 

10. This indestructible vehicle.

This is what happens when you rear-end a Tesla Model S. 

11. This house that uses no eaves troughs. 

The water is directed to one corner of the house and drops down into a basin that collects all of the runoff. 

12. This odd but beautiful discovery.

For the record, the pink flowers did not steal the life force of the blue one. At least I hope they didn't. 

13. Young Gandhi. 

Who was a lawyer, BTW. 

14. This progressive alternative to a fire escape. 

Found in a Korean hotel room. 

15. This high school is doing it right.  

Putting in skateboard racks means students won't have to bring them inside, therefore nobody will be skating down the halls, and no one risks having their board stolen.
