Matt Lambros | on Tumblr (USA) - Abandoned theaters
Abandoned architecture has always fascinated Matt Lambros, as his grandmother used to take him and his brother to investigate any old barn she happened to drive past. She was curious about what was left behind, and her inquisitive nature made a lasting impression on Matt. Matt grew up in Dutchess County, New York, and like most places there were quite a few supposedly “haunted” buildings begging for a closer look. Hudson River State hospital, one of the first places he went to on his own, was one of them. He used to drive around with his friends the campus late at night trying to scare each other. It was then that Matt’s interest in abandoned buildings evolved into a vehicle for artistic expression.
Matt has spent ten years composing photographic obituaries for once-thriving buildings that are now crumbled and forgotten. His hope for his work is that it will shine light on beautiful, dated architecture and on the equal yet sinister beauty in decay. Please visit Matt Lambros’ website or follow his Tumblr for more work.

On the top of Rock - Lis Catenaci (by Lis Catenaci Fotógrafa)
Photographer Shinichi Maruyama is well known for his colliding liquid photography and immortalizing moments split seconds before they are lost to gravity. In his latest series ‘Nude’, he I tries to capture the beauty of both the human body’s figure and its motion. The figure in the image, which is formed into something similar to a sculpture, is created by combining 10,000 individual photographs of a dancer. By putting together uninterrupted individual moments, the resulting image as a whole will appear to be something different from what actually exists. With regard to these two viewpoints, a connection can be made to a human being’s perception of presence in life.

Top Five Regrets of The Dying
1. I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
2. I wish I didn’t work so hard.
3. I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.
4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.

An elevation of natural phenomena and perceptual experience is behind all David DiMichele’s imagined installations. Pushing the envelope of what seems possible, he is creating inspiring art. With his photographs of seemingly impressive, large-scale installations, he gives viewers little chance not to pay attention. His installation photographs are usually shot in low-angle with humans included for scale, and with careful attention to lighting, deep focus, and composition. Unlike most installation photos, however, DiMichele’s documentations are themselves artworks. As their titles reveal, they are ‘Pseudodocumentation’, depicting masterfully made models for works whose full-scale perceptual tricks and awe-inspiring sublimity can only be imagined.
