"I was thinking about the recession and what that meant for talented people who may have lost their jobs. Are you still a dancer if you are not paid to perform? Or are you still a chef when you don't have a kitchen to cook in? It is about people who walk the streets with this incredible skill who could just advertise their ability any time they wanted. Dance is always a part of them and they are always dancers"

Dancers Among Us.

Expiration Notice is an on-line magazine dedicated to work by emerging photographers over 35. An interesting counterpoint to the usual hyping of "young and emerging artists."

Breakfast looks different to different people. That alone made me wanna post this cuz that's just hella cool, but after I saw that, I started wondering what does breakfast
sound like?
Why should we even bother with breakfast? Here's
some more thoughts on breakfast. Hungry yet? This was a
great movie by the way. I guess
that one was okay too.
So what did you have for breakfast? [previously]

There have been a number of urban exploration or modern ruins photography posts here over the years, but I couldn't find any that linked to my new favorite modern ruin site,
opacity.us. With 85 galleries of subjects as gorgeous as
Bannerman's Arsenal and as haunting as the
Verden Psychiatric Hospital, it's a treasure trove of entropy on film.

Nice Flash presentation of images on his site from photographer Hans Neleman's books "Night Chicas", "Moko-Maori Tattoo", "Body Transformed", and "Silence". NSFW, fer shure. (Note that you can switch
from slideshow mode to manual with controls on the right.)
More Neleman at Kodak's
Legends Online (work-safe), and more from "Night Chicas"
here (almost work-safe, but if the policy is strict - don't go.)

Bleak photography of deserted farms in Iceland (farms? Iceland?) is what photographer Nokkvi Eliasson specializes in, and this gallery (one of two -
here's the other) showcases some of his best stuff.

German Objectivist photographer Karl Blossfeldt (1865-1932) once said "the best constructions for industrial design have already been anticipated in nature." Do your eyes a favor and
look here.

StreetMattress.com - Much like "found art", this site chronicles the phenomenon of abandoned mattresses, and finally gives the public a forum on which to comment on them. Some if my favorites are
here,
here, and
here.
