TigTab’s amazing light paintings.
And, no, these images were not photo-manipulated. They were done in one continuous long-exposure shot. All of TigTab’s stencils are hand cut and placed on a custom built light box.
Twist and shout. Work it all out.

I love this beautiful land and the gentle people in it. One of my favorite parts of the world: these images warm my heart.

Color Photographs from the New Deal (1939-1943): a collection of amazing photos from the Great Depression.
On view now until Apr 29, so if you’re in NYC make sure to go and see this unbelievable exhibit at Carriage Trade. This intro is from their site:
Largely forgotten until the mid-seventies when they resurfaced in the Library of Congress archives, the color photographs of the Farm Security Administration/ Office of War Information (1939-1943) document the later period of FDR’s New Deal, an ambitious series of government programs designed to address the brutal effects of the Great Depression on the social and economic fabric of 1930’s America. While the Library’s archive of black and white depression-era photographs is more familiar and more often reproduced, the color images, taken within three years of the invention of Kodachrome film, are striking for their rich, saturated colors and rigorously formal compositions.
Dew on dandelions: incredible macro photos by UK fine art photographer Sharon Johnstone.
She says on her site:
“With macro photography I escape to another little world. I love exploring the tiny details in nature that often get over looked. I love finding beautiful colours and abstract compositions within nature and can even get passionate about photographing moss or a blade of grass.”

On May 2, famed NYC-based photographer Ryan McGinley is set to open a new exhibition at TEAM Gallery in NYC entitled, Animals. Running until Jun 2, the exhibition is his first and will feature color studio portraits of live animals with nude models.
According to the TEAM website:
This body of work has two starkly contrasting sides, epitomized by two of the photographs on view. In the comical Dakota (Marmoset), a tiny monkey hangs from a male model’s pubic hair, partly obscuring his genitals. The human legs and torso are covered in scratches and the marmoset stares directly at the camera, wearing an expression of apparent shock. In Parakeets, a flock of lushly colored birds tears across a blue background while a girl, face obscured by a blurred green and white wing, stretches out her arms in an imitation of flight. The barroom roughhouse of the former and dulcet elegance of the latter act as the exhibition’s counterweights. Where the first piece is grotesque and lascivious, as humorous as it is horrifying, the other — a gushing moment of poetic beauty — strikes a profound emotional and visual harmony.
