Some of the images that Tristan Still photographs do not really interest me, but I was impressed by these fish eye lens skateboard pictures. I could care less about the subject matter, although it does give the technique a dynamic quality. I was more interested in the distorted perspective and attention the subject matter. When done right, I think a distorted perspectice adds a great element to an action shot. And, the main skateboarder is oddly highlighted while the background figures are completely in shadow. Great images…

I came across Miwa Koizumi through Treehugger. A lot of her sculpture is very mesmerizing and dream-like. I specifically wanted to highlight the piece from above since it is made from recycled plastic bottles. I guess it is cliche that “she takes garbage and turns into beautiful artwork”, so I will avoid that trap. I guess I’m more interested in how the plastic was formed to create such a dynamic and intoxicating shape. It really captures the essence of a sea critter and the reflection of light off the piece only heightens my interest in it. Once again…check it out…
