Photographer Beth Galton gives us a literal "inside" look at foods via her Cut Food series. In it she captures popular dishes and snacks that are split in half exposing only their insides while still maintaining their structure. It's hard to explain, but even harder to pull off as she had to replace many of the liquid parts of her subjects with gelatin in order to retain their form.
The following is a European ad for full-service mobile bank Hello Bank. It features a full symphony orchestra playing with some rather non-traditional instruments. Without giving it away we'd just like to note that it's probably one of the more technologically advanced symphonies we've ever come across. The new mobile bank will be made available in Germany, Belgium, France and Italy. Genius way to brand!
Although California's infamous Death Valley is legendary for its less than welcoming name and reputation, there are in fact some beautifully redeeming qualities to the area. Take Sunchaser Picture's video of his stay for example, it captures a timelapse of the valley that depicts the truly all-encompassing beauty of its land and sky.
Grantland's got another awesome installment of story time w/ Jalen Rose. This time our protagonist recalls the tale of when he decided to challenge Michael Jordan and proceed to dunk on him. Hilarious story-telling, but even more hilarious animation!
Here's an usual series from photographer/creative Sonia Rentsch. Her recent Harmless series combines plant parts and forms them into silhouettes of firearms. The result is a beautiful juxtaposition of nature's grace and man's modern weaponry design.
Tennis legend Andre Agassi joins the ranks of Nike once again. This time the retired player will be on the philanthropic and ambassador side of the field rather than a sponsored athlete. According to Nike's Phil Knight he'll join the company on the outreach side. "As one of the world’s greatest tennis players, Agassi embodied the passion, dedication and determination of the Nike brand. As a philanthropist and campaigner, he continues to share Nike’s commitment to inspire the young generation with his Just Do It spirit. We are honored to welcome him back." Congrats to him!
Although mostly feared for their catastrophic (even cataclysmic) power, volcanoes can also be revered for their majestic side. Take the beautiful volcano smoke photography of Helminadia Jabur whose images evoke a surreal sense of existence. Eruption danger aside, we've got to admit that these are some pretty amazing shots! Check out the entire catalog of these stunning images here.
Red Bull and some of the world's greatest fixed gear bicycle riders converged on San Francisco's Justin Herman Plaza park again for this year's Red Bull Ride + Style Fixed-Gear Competition. As expected the event brought out some of the most exhilarating and daring of two-wheelers, some of which banged out everything from backflips to frameless drops off and onto ramps. Watch the recap and really ask yourself how these guys pull all of these BMX style tricks on bikes with fixed (no free pedaling) cogs.
Things Come Apart is an intricate photo/design series by creative Todd McLellan. The premise of the project, which ultimately stemmed into a book of the same title, was to deconstruct the most popular and intricate objects (a bicycle, laptop, smartphones, Swiss army knife, etc.) that people use and truly observe their layout. Here are the visually stunning results.
