Photo Of The Day

I was reading an article about Movile Cave the most poisonous cave in the world
http://www.bbc.co.uk/earth/story/20150904-the-bizarre-beasts-living-in-romanias-poison-cave
then found a guy that's photographed lots of insects from it

can't embed any photos because he's got the links to the jpgs hidden

Jo conzo is great and his personal story is great and inspiring.

Saw this on twitter this morning

That is nuts.

Series on post-USSR metros in the Guardian. For some reason, I particularly like that one.

Some of the buildings are still there on street view today, albeit greatly altered.

I thought was strangely beautiful until you ponder it’s folk trying to kill other folk which definitely isn’t beautiful

Love it. Im a bicycle tour guide in Edinburgh and i'm a geek for old street scenes and old maps.

I could be wrong but some of the street name labels in the Guardian article don't seem to match up, but never the less, lovely stuff.

EDIT: Was watching the short Vimeo documentary on Blomfield and they are holding up some photographs without explanation and I notice one from my home town of Dunfermline :)

My brother has a similar thing going for mattresses:

Your brother should hang out with @tinakino sometime

I know of at least 6 photographers who take pictures of mattresses.

Thanks - that is reassuring, it kind of normalises it for me(!).

I bought a couple of these as shit gifts last Christmas. Everyone hated them.

i do a similar one for discarded shoes.

Ruth Orkin, the daughter of a silent film actor, was then 29. She had been making her way as a photographer in New York ever since she had cycled to the city in an epic two-wheel road trip from Los Angeles 12 years earlier, taking pictures as she went.
