Aerial photos of Spain that look like abstract paintings

David Maisel is a California-based photographer who takes magnificent aerial and landscape photographs. In his latest body of work titled The Fall, David shows us the environment of Spain from above and challenges our notions of beauty and toxicity. The stunning images, which were shot in various locations between Toledo and Madrid, "show zones of agriculture, mining, and abandoned urban development that appear otherworldly and alien, as though an archaeologist had unearthed a hidden civilization from the past."

The Fall is on view through March 12 at Haines Gallery in San Francisco.

Hand-Painted Bags That Tell Your Story

Most bags today look like they were produced by bored machines in a dimly lit factory. You can walk into any mall and find rows of identical leather (or “leather-like”) things, all claiming to express individuality. Ironically, though, they all look exactly the same. Then there’s Abby Verano . Her bags are not mere accessories; they’re declarations. Each one is hand-painted, touched by an actual human being with an imagination. Abby doesn’t just sell you something to put your wallet and smartphone in; she sells you a story, a vision, a little revolt against the tyranny of sameness. Her tools are simple — brushes, acrylic paint, bags made from pandan leaves, and creativity. No duplicates. No clones. Just one-of-a-kind art pieces you can carry.
