Compact-Disk Animals

Sean creates a wide range of animals, from birds right through to polar bear cubs, and all of them were created using only shattered CDs, glue, and a simple wire frame to give them shape and structure for attaching the broken bits of CDs. How Sean manages to use such simple recycled materials to create such detailed renderings, we couldn’t fathom. The creatures look almost soft and naturally furry, in spite of the material they’re made from. The hard plastic is anything but soft, and yet the many tiny shards take on a fur-like appearance in large numbers.

We have to admit that some of them are simply jaw dropping. Sadly for us, the only thing we could make out of the DVD’s that used to come with our loft ladders is a frisbee.

World From the Space

We truly live in a data rich age, and incredible insights are just waiting for us to discover.

Here's a incredible collection of visualizations based on GPS data. Lines in the first one shows unpublished transportation of dead bodies. The second pizza delivery persons took one friday night in Manhattan. The third shows beef exports leaving America and the incoming 86 billon in food imports.

There are a whole bunch of other ones here, including wind power, the electricity grid (the US is still right heavy), the supremely heart breaking (and brilliantly visualized) job losses,




Morning View - Iceland

Seljalandsfoss Morning View - Iceland

While visiting such a beautiful place such as Iceland, I felt motivated to try and find fresh compositions to capture. As I spent the prior evening shooting from close to the falls while enjoying several refreshing showers, I decided to scout out the perimeter of this waterfall during the following morning. I liked the overall scene balance of this particular view.



I have also posted a new blog, featuring a short commentary of what I believe to be a very compelling topic, especially amoungst landscape photographers.
