The latest project from New York-based Libyan photographer Jehad Nga is a huge step away in style from his well-recognized crisis and conflict photojournalism. The Green Book‘s title refers to a 24-chapter quasi-philosophical propaganda tome of the former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. The book was issued to all Libyans during his reign as “required reading… an inane […]
There are some very old, very beautiful buildings in Manhattan. Over time, brand name businesses have moved in. The contrast is visually jarring. Sometimes, it’s even funny. Here are a few of our favorites. Check back every Friday for a new photo essay. See the photos in the gallery above. (Photos: Aymann Ismail/ANIMALNewYork) […]
Bruxelles5, a Belgian photographer who apparently goes only by his Twitter handle, took the above aerial photos of the tulip fields of Amsterdam. From above, the individual flowers dissolve into beautifully flat fields of color that evoke television test patterns. The photos were taken in Anna Paulowna, a municipality in the Netherlands. Check them out, and […]
The photo series The Sleep of the Beloved, from German photographer Paul Schneddenburger, depicts real couples sleeping together over the course of six hours.

Only a damned cretin would deny the colossal impact that the late Allen Ginsberg had on the 20th century literary world. His divinely manic, sometimes-drug-fueled rants, punctuated by themes of sexual liberation, gritty urban romanticism and countercultural activism came to define the Beat Generation. And then James Franco played him in Howl. His aptitude as a […]
Close to 70,000 American youths are incarcerated in detention centers around the country on a daily basis. The cost to keep them there for a 9-12 month period ranges anywhere from $66,000 to $224,715 at the most in California. “Juvenile-In-Justice,” one of Richard Ross’ most socially engaged series yet, documents the conditions of this system […]

This week, we talk to actor, stuntman and photographer Dean Neistat about his days of as an Air Force aircraft commander.
