Bird Portraits For Humans

The Sydney-based photographer Leila Jeffreys says, "As I've grown, I've watched the human population explode worldwide so I wanted to remind us all about the 'little people' that also share the planet. Like us they search for food and shelter, they form relationships, they raise offspring, they defend their territory, they play and they sing. They are magnificent creatures that enrich our lives if you stop to notice them and I believe it's our responsibility to ensure they will always have a home in the wild."

I don't know the origin of these images. I would love to meet the twisted mind(s) that created them.

Very similar to these animal mashups, which inspired the title of my serial poetry project: Manipulated Bestiary.

Dyed Transparent Specimens

Fisherman-turned-artist in Yokohama City, Japan, Tomita:

"Although these are just transparent specimens, they’re filled with the drama of organisms which I have so much love for. I want people to enjoy the beauty of life, treat life with respect and understand that there is drama happening that is not centered on themselves when they look at the specimens. These specimens which you see here are actually animals that have died for some some reason or whose carcasses were discarded from pet shops or fishermen. I use those animals which passed away and repurpose them."

Using the skeletons of various dead marine specimens, and bright shades of dye, the process strips down each creature to the toughest parts of its remains. Tomita has dyed more than 5,000 dead creatures since 2005, which is amazing, considering each piece takes at least a few weeks to complete, and some up to a year.

Photos Hungry and Rare White Tigers by Birte Person

Australia-based photographer Birte Person took these astounding photos of the very rare big cats during feeding time at the Singapore Zoo

Person explains:

"They sit in anticipation on the rocks waiting for the first morsel to be thrown. Then it is a huge lunge into the water by all of them. It carries on at a frantic pace until they all get some food."
