Photo Of The Day

please tell me thats a childs skull and those are the the milk teeth being pushed out.

Yes. I should have given it a blurb

That's going on behind children's faces?! It's fncked up. I like it.

Apparently the skull is from a 6yr old child. It'd be interesting to see a similar image from an adult skull to see what's happened in the void that the teeth have left

Japanese ex-fisherman who studied ichthyology and now artist: Iori Tomita transforms marine life with scientific technique of preserving and dying organism specimens into an art form with his series that he calls New World Transparent Specimens.
His process:
Tomita first removes the scales and skin of fish that have been preserved in formaldehyde, he leaves the organism to soak in a mixture of blue stain, ethyl alcohol, and glacial acetic acid before utilizing the enzyme trypsin to break down protein and muscles, stopping the reaction as soon as they become transparent but before they lose their form. The bones are then stained by soaking the fish in a combination of potassium hydroxide and red dye, before the specimen is preserved in glycerin.

Been digging some really nice stuff from Calouste Gulbenkian's, Portuguese Photography Archive.
For those who've been to Lisbon it'll probably be familiar^. Belongs here.
Bit heavy IMO, all the Colonial heritage that we still face, from the old regime, but the dedication gone into it, the detail, ...mind blowing stuff.

I love this photo.

I like these. The detail is impressive and they are moving in an odd way.

That's average size in America, sort of people that let their kids have pizza for breakfast

Isn't that an American size 0?

Deep fried butter can't be real can it?!?!

It’s a celebration of utter fat. ‘Beer battered bacon’. Dead before lunchtime.
