Welcome in Simen Johan's world!
Simen Johan's photography
and his unique technic...
Merging traditional photographic techniques with digital methods, Simen Johan creates each of his images from as many as one hundred negatives, having first constructed or discovered each element and photographed it on film. Across his body of work, the viewer is urged to ponder the relationship between the real and the artificial or imagined. In his photographs, the Norwegian photographer explores darkly the human proclivity towards fantasy and our attempts, knowing or otherwise, to craft alternate realities for ourselves.

Cinemagraphs
Cinemagraphs
the other side of photography...
By parasitesdontlisten, February 12, 2012
If you haven't seen these animated gifs by Jamie Beck and Kevin Burg yet, you are in for a treat. These aren't your run of the mill early 90's gifs, they're more aptly called cinemagraphs by their creators.The idea for cinegraphs came up when the pair was preparing for Fashion Week. They wanted to tell more of a story than a single frame but didn't want the hassle of creating a video. For more details about these awesome images, read the articles on Gawker and My Modern Metropolis. Don't forget to check out the rest of their amazing work on Tumblr and Oh so coco.

Tillandsia
Tillandsia
a solution to lousy gardeners ...
By parasitesdontlisten, February 10, 2012
Whether for your home, office or gifts for friends, these five air plants are sure to delight!
Place them in a that old jar from the flea market, your wedding china you don't use often enough, or in a cool ashtray (what's that?!). Anywhere you'd like to place them - no dirt required - and they'll be happy!
Easy to care for - just run them under water once a week and give them some light (they LOVE office flourescents) and the group will be happy. It's that easy!
Tillandsia are epiphytes and need no soil because water and nutrients are absorbed through the leaves. The roots are used as anchors only. Reproduction is by seeds or by offsets called "pups". A single plant could have up to a dozen pups.
Although not normally cultivated for their flowers, some Tillandsia will bloom on a regular basis. In addition, it is quite common for some species to take on a different leaf colour (usually changing from green to red) when about to flower.
Temperature is not critical, the range being from 32°C down to 10°C. They are sensitive to frost, except for the hardiest species, T. usneoides, which can tolerate night-time frosts down to about -10°C.
Tillandsia is a primary ingredient in an herbal supplement to treat pollen allergies.

Weird celebrity portraits
Weird celebrity portraits
portraits of Martin Schoeller...
By parasitesdontlisten, February 08, 2012
New York-based photographer Martin Schoeller loves to make us laugh! Take a look at his celebrity portraits of everyone from Quentin Tarantino to Chris Rock and you'll notice a common theme running throughout his work. They're wonderfully wacky!
Having worked as an assistant for Annie Leibovitz from 1993 to 1996, Schoeller has the guts to create dramatic scenes that call for his subjects to work outside the box. He's been a staff photographer at The New Yorker since 1999 and his work has appeared in magazines like Rolling Stone, Esquire, Vogue and Vanity Fair. No doubt it's his unique flair that captures our attention and has us eternally wondering what he's got next up his sleeve.
