Blind photographer creates beautiful light paintings


In 1979, an ophthalmologist told photographer Steven Erra that he would lose his eyesight in twenty years. But his diminishing vision didn't make him lose his soul, and the diagnosis only motivated him further to create fascinating works of art. Steven is now part of a group of photographers in New York called the Seeing With Photography Collective, who shoot stunning images using the long exposure technique known as "light painting."

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

Thai artist paints on mosquito nets

I find them quite intriguing, these ghostly portraits that Uttaporn Nimmalaikaew paints on mosquito nets. His creations look like a hologram, changing form depending on where the viewer stands. Overall, they're gloomy, haunting, and endlessly fascinating. I could stare at them for ages. [h/t: Colossal ]
