Over the past few years, LP sales have continued to make a huge comeback to the delight of audiophiles the world over, but there’s at least one genre of music where vinyl records never stopped getting pressed: Dancehall. Vinyl still plays a crucial role in the dissemination of Jamaica’s leading cultural export and in New […]
A brand new Sandy-themed Annie Leibovitz photoshoot over at Vogue is suffering a bit of a backlash right now. It’s understandable that this glamorous couture mugging may seem inappropriate in context, but it’s not like the models are strutting over hurricane ruins? As far as “controversial” fashion shoots, this isn’t that bad. The models are not […]
Craigslist’s “Free” section is home to curiosities of all sorts, from the curious to the mundane. At the time of this writing, there’s rollerblade pads, operetta 78s, and a hilarious, cryptic post both advertising free porn DVDs and soliciting “slim, clean” male models on the NYC site. Animator and free-stuff-enthusiast Kristen Lepore seized on this with […]

The Waits/Corbijn will feature 30 years of Tom Waits being very Tom Waits, spanning 272 pages of Corbijn portraits. Also, there’ll be Waits’ […]
ANIMAL’s original series I Should Have Shot That! asks photographers about that one shot that got away. This week, freelance photographer @weeddude talks about a train robbery in Thailand.

The colossal, the minuscule the electric, the organic. They are the same. Something about fractals? Mind… blown. The duos assembled by Infinity Imagined should give you feelings, deep feelings of being one of a whole and […]
When you fantasize about a globally-devastating event, isn’t one of the highlights… this? The silhouettes of Rio, Tokyo, San Francisco, New York submerged in utter dead darkness? And those stars. Suddenly visible, all of them. Mmm… End of the World, yeah, that’s the stuff. Photographer Thierry Cohen’s Darkened Cities travelled to remote areas to captured the unmolested night sky and digitally transplanted them […]
For the past five years, photographer Amy Stein spent hours at a time driving the freeways, looking for them — perched by the highway by their broken-down car, listless, stagnant, anxious… “To me it’s a metaphor for what’s been happening across the country,” she says. In exchange for staying even stiller for these gorgeous medium format portraits, […]
This is the Orda Cave, the biggest underwater crystal cave in the world in Perm, Russia. On the day of this mystical photo-shoot with the two-times free diving world champion Natalia Avseenko, it was -32.8F outside. The water was a brisk 41 F. Nice face, Natalia. Very stoic… considering you’re floating in ice slushy. It’s so cold here, […]
