Jake Gross brings life to inanimate objects in his new photo collection ‘Self-portrait’. I would actually love that lamp…

Waldo Lee and Marc Da Cuhna Lopes teamed up to create this intriguing piece of work for the Beaux Arts Magazine. I wonder what he’s trying to say?

Yama (gshin.rje)

Who better to be displayed with two judging eyes, but the Tibetan deity of samsara, guardian of all realms of life, judge of the dead?! (For the record, Yama is not exclusively Tibetan, but we won’t get into that.)

The skull camera, created by Wayne Martin Belger, is actually composed of two separate cameras, one for each eye.

Yama is made from Aluminium, Titanium, Copper, Brass, Bronze Steel, Silver, Gold, Mercury with 4 Sapphires, 3 Rubies (The one at Yama’s third eye was $5000.00), Asian and American Turquoise, Sand, Blood, and 9 Opals inlayed in the Skull. The film loading system is pneumatic. A 300psi air tank in the middle of the camera powers 2 pneumatic pistons to move the film holder forward and lock it into place. The switch to open and close the film chamber is located under the jaw.

He also has a similar camera called the Third Eye, which was designed to study the beauty of decay. Definitely worth checking out.

Yum Yum.

Thank you Benoit Levac for documenting these body parts and reminding us of the meat packing industry!  But for those of us who’d rather settle for green beans and chic peas, it’s hard to deny the stopping power these images have…
