I combined everyday soap bubbles with exotic ferrofluid liquid to create an eerie tale, using macro lenses and time lapse techniques. Black ferrofluid and dye race through bubble structures, drawn through by the invisible forces of capillary action and magnetism. Time-lapse sequences: Nikon D90, Nikkor 60mm macro lens and custom built intervalometer.

The young lady said, your hair,
may I touch it? And I obliged, sort
of swan in an injured, curtsied bow.
She pawed and graded my exquisite locks
and confessed the purse my hair
could fetch in the black markets of the world.
I had been summoned to slay mawfuckers
with my pizazzy Powerpoint for Playas’
and now, like a genie, I could not be rebottled.
The thought of follicle bazaars in Tangiers
or the Sarajaven mob trafficking my now
very valuable head ricocheted in my synapses tanks.
I had been thinking of nothing lucrative at all, nothing
like pure poetry strawberries as large as the heads of Shih Tzus
or contraband submarines forged in the jungles of Colombia.
I had been thinking that I don’t listen to Otis Redding enough
that I take too many scalding showers and don’t leave my hair
the chance to fume the bouquet of my wholly singular odor.
And now I am finally thinking of the young lady, her fingers
comb the epicenter of my vanity, they graze my thick head
my dull, oaken dome from which spectacular beauty glows.

Dearest
by Iris De Andadaughters of the desert
drowning in despair
dozens disappear
daydreams dissolve
desolate world in denial
dawn breaks to dusk
denouncing death
demanding life
dream on daughters...

What is Poesia Para La Gente?
Poesia Para La Gente (Poetry for the People) is a program that brings poetry to the people of the community, in non-traditional places. Some of these places have been affected, in one way or another, by economical hardship or various forms of social stigmas. All locations are unique in providing a safe setting for uninhibited artistic expression.
Poesia Para La Gente is a program of the Avenue 50 Studio's monthly La Palabra Poetry. The program has been made possible by a grant from The James Irvine Foundation.

Impressions from a 25-day hiking and packrafting expedition through the wilderness of extreme Southern Greenland in july 2013. I started in Narsarsuaq, crossed over all the way to Tasermiut fjord, and continued with an 8-day loop east of Tasiusaq before finally paddling towards Nanortalik.

I have a hard time conjuring in my mind an image other than a world map when it comes to Greenland.
from Willem Vandoorne:

Rogan Brown on his nearly unbelievably detail papercut art:
“My work is an exploration and re-presentation of natural organic forms both mineral and vegetal. I look for patterns and repeated motifs that run through natural phenomena at different scales, from the microscopic to the macroscopic, from individual cells to large scale geological formations.”

Filling in what's missing from iconic Black & White photos, namely, the color, has an amazing impact on our perception and connection with the subjects. Of course, it is a matter of invention and conjecture, but stunning none the less. A whole bunch of amazing ones over at a group on reddit, called r/ColorizedHistory.
