Dan Cronin started photographing Juggalos in 2010, after catching an Insane Clown Posse performance in Portland, Oregon. There, he met a fan of the group who invited him to the Gathering of the Juggalos, a kind of Burning Man meets Bonaroo for fans of the facepainted rappers and the lifestyle they embody. Cronin attended, and […]
Floating ominously inside the Apexart gallery is a massive, crinkly, mirrored balloon. It is a reconstructed version of NASA’s 1958 “Beacon Inflatable Satellite,” an early “sateloon” prototype that marked the beginnings of human space exploration. The Beacon was a preliminary model for Echo 1, a much larger version launched by NASA in 1960 that was […]
Photographer Paul McDonough’s black-and-white photo collection of New York City life in the sixties and seventies is a nostalgia-fest. Ah, the good old days, right? Love was in the air, everyone was freakishly good looking, priests were total ballers, cab fare was cheap, and you could wrap your infant up in newspaper and just do […]

The photos were taken in the San Francisco sex factory of Kink.com, and it’s completely devoid of boobs or dicks. This gallery is similar to photos of celebrities without celebrities in them, except in The Armory, the porn […]
Arizona-born photographer Mike Brodie left home at 17 to photograph what is now press-dubbed “the train-hopping and squatter subculture,” although, that sounds rather silly, really. It’s not a “subculture.” It’s the way these people live. Always moving. Never stopping. Check out Brodie aka Polaroid Kid’s book A Period of Juvenile Prosperity, out March 25th. But I […]

These infernal photos of a volcanic lightning storm were captured by photographer Marin Rietze whilevisiting the Sakurajima Volcano in Japan. The Sodom ‘n’ Gomorrah Light Show only lasted about twenty seconds, but that was more than enough time for Rietze to score some incredible shots. This is a prime example of a photographer being at the […]
This is a pretty girl. Her face is bursting with geometry, folding out on itself, blooming outwards, sporing delicate mutations… another eye, another lip, another eye, another lip… Photographer Alma Haser‘s Cosmic Faces series is contra-magical surrealist. After taking portraits of her subjects, she prints and prints and prints their faces, constructing complex origami structured mirroring and distorting their […]
Swiss photographer Fabian Oefner puts a new spin on Jackson Pollock-style paint splatter art with his latest project, “Black Hole”. Behold the patterns created when paint is flung into the air by centripetal force, and then photographed at just the right millisecond. Oefner pioneered a simple mechanism to create these images: he attached a metallic […]
Artist Angelo Musco invites models to his Chelsea studio, about a dozen at a time, to pose for him in the nude, in various kinetic arrangements against green backgrounds. The final results are photographic murals made up of upwards of 2 million of adult nudes floating like overgrown, spindly cherubs in a boundless ether, spiraling […]
