these photos by Rachel Sussman are very interesting to me not only because they are just beautiful images but also because they are all images in a collection of others that are predominantly of really old things. Old organisms that last years and years, much longer than any of us will ever live. this picture is of some sort of organism that is over 2000 years old and i think thats crazy.

these paintings are something that are very interesting to me, these beautiful paintings made by John Sawbraw are made of something that isn't anywhere near as beautiful as what it creates. these paintings are made from toxic runoff found in the Ohio River region, Sawbraw who is an artist and a professor produces his own DIY pigments.

this is a video of a labyrinth that was created by the are collective luzzinterruptus. this group has a history of tackling and bringing attention to many social issues in Europe. in this case its bringing attention to the plastic waste issues they are prominent in their region. i though that the idea of making something out of what everyone else throws away was a really cool idea.

Olafur Eliasson is an artist that i recently discovered who makes some really interesting sculptures. he is an environmentalist so a lot of his work has to do with popular environmental issues. this picture is one of a sculpture he did that was in a refrigerated gallery powered by solar panels in New York and these are pieces of ice that broke off from Iceland’s largest glacier, Vatnajökull

Hans Overduin is a nature photographer who from what i have seen really focuses on birds. these pictures of owls really intrigued me just because these animals are so beautiful. the way that he manages to get these crystal clear images out in the field amazes me. he seems to use a short focal length really taking the detail away from the background and emphasizing the foreground and the birds that he photographs. his use of the natural colors present in the scenes is very balanced things arent over saturated but they remain very vivid and beautiful throughout.

Jannick Clausen is another person that i have recently discovered, his work is again very different than a lot of work that i see. i love the way that some of his pictures almost look black and white in composition but have subtle hints of vibrant and beautiful color that ties everything in the photo together wonderfully. he frames his photos very narrowly at times and it makes your eyes wander in a very strange path sometimes, looking at things very carefully that most often times you would glance at and not think twice about.
