These two artists worked together since 2005 taking images of "The Ruins of Detroit". These are some of the most beautiful images I have ever seen! Here is Yves Marchand & Romain Meffre's website.
"Ruins are the visible symbols and landmarks of our societies and their changes, small pieces of history in suspension. The state of ruin is essentially a temporary situation that happens at some point, the volatile result of change of era and the fall of empires. This fragility, the time elapsed but even so running fast, lead us to watch them one very last time : being dismayed, or admire, making us wondering about the permanence of things. Photography appeared to us as a modest way to keep a little bit of this ephemeral state." Magda Nikx Wasiczek has these amazing photographs that look so amazing that they have to be photoshoped, but they are not. Just beautiful photograhps. Here is her real site in Polish
In light of Osama bin Laden's death, I felt it was appropriate to revisit an inspirational artist, who crosses over to all ages and time. Dan Eldon's journal pages are currently on exhibit, and I had not seen these before, so I felt I needed to share Dan Eldon again. This is the video I show along with him also, which says anything so much better than I can.
