Have you ever wished you could see the world through the bleary eyes of “The Dude?” The awesome actor/producer/humanitarian/stoner ICON Jeff-of-all-trades-Bridges is apparently a pretty decent photographer. So decent, in fact, that his work from behind the lens will be awarded a “special recognition” at the International Center of Photography’s Infinity Awards in NYC tonight. Primarily using […]
This week has been a busy one for ANIMAL, so I had to shoot something quick and dirty for this week’s “Zoom In.” With the help of the same hacked lens that I used to shoot street food and Times Square, here are a few macro-photos of things I found in the garbage can outside our […]
The Jogging’s group show at the commercial printing space Baboo may have seemed like a joke at first, but instead it serves as proof that some artists are able to make smart work under any circumstances. The Jogging is a loose group of contemporary artists including Brad Troemel — a collective that brought us vacuum sealed JAMES FRANCO […]
South African art champs have united again. Since shock rave-rap duo Die Antwoord’s art roots were uncovered, it’s not surprising Harmony Korine was all over that, but no collaboration makes more sense than Die Antwoord and Roger Ballen, as immortalized in the “Finks U Freeky” music video.

Since the inception of Cartwright’s latitude and longitude recording project, he has searched for appropriate ways to visualize this massive collection of data […]
Why is Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield so cool? When he’s not busy jamming with his cosmic music group Bandella or sending us mesmerizing videos of experiments in zero-gravity, the renaissance man dabbles in photography. Here’s his latest SpaceKam masterpiece from onboard the ISS: a vivid, bird’s eye view of “New York City, incredibly clear, before the […]
Photographer Reiner Reidler created these images by finding film reels of classic movies, then illuminating them from behind with film lights and photographing them. The color palettes of the films Reidler used–including The Godfather, Citizen Kane, and Alice in Wonderland, are distilled into abstract rings of light. “The concept is to confront the viewer with the image of an […]
If you’re going to use cookie-cutter digital filters to doll up your shitty photography, why not do it in a way that actually brings something new to the images? Less Toaster and X-Pro II and more psychedelic digital chaos, you know? Turn off Instagram, download Glitché for free, and get to work. Like that app, Glitché […]
It must be nice to live inside Beyonce’s head. Remember all those “unflattering” photos of Beyonce doing the Half-Time Show that had her publicist running around the internet issuing take-down notices because HOW DARE they show B externalizing physical strain? So she didn’t look perfect in a few of those photos — WELCOME TO REAL LIFE — […]
Graffiti writers carry many weapons in their arsenal — spray paint, markers, etching paste, and stickers. For this series, we went out to document some of the stickers — hand-written ones, specifically — that are currently running on the streets of Manhattan, kicking off with KATSU (above). Check back every Friday for a new photo essay. See the […]
