The Art of Chris Jordan
Chris Jordan likes taking statistics - like the number of plastic bottles used every 5 minutes in the U.S. - then create a picture of that number of bottles - just so you really know how big that number is. It's amazing, stunning and disturbing all at the same time .
Fun Widget of the moment: The White Stripes Lomo Cameras
I have no idea what the hipster band White Stripes has to do with an old plastic cameras, but dang - these are cool!
Lomo and Holga cameras came out of Russia ilong agos. These cheap poorly built cameras took strange, warped, fuzzy looking pictures due to the usually crappy quality of their build - but despite themselves, the pictures looked kinda cool. Cool enough to launch a rabid collectors fanbase and the world of "lomography". Serious - look it up!
The band White Stripes has issued 2 collectors issues of these cameras with cool extras like filters and ring flashes. While most Lomo/Holga cameras run about $30 on eBay, these nifty packages will sap you a cool $187. Spendy, yes - but the collectability is sky high - they only made 200 of each.
