Food Frozen in Mid-Air

michaelcrichton02 Food Frozen in Mid Air
Technically it’s not still life if it’s flying in mid-air, is it? Photographer Michael Crichton makes us believe in the magic of photography through his Flying Food series. Using professional lighting equipment and with a little help from Photoshop, he fantastically freezes everyday food – like a bologna sandwich.

The Ultra-Realistic Sculptures by Marc Sijan

08 The Ultra Realistic Sculptures by Marc Sijan

Marc Sijan, a Milwaukee artist, has carefully studied and modeled the human form for more then twenty years. Since his days as an undergraduate at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, he has become completely immersed in the human form as a subject. After earning his bachelor’s degree in art, he returned to school to earn his master’s degree and received a heavy dose of scientific courses in anatomy and biology in the process – hence the inspiration for the life like artistic forms.

The opportunities we have in this life to closely examine the intricacies of the human body are rare. Many of us are taught “ not to stare” for the fear the object of our gaze may hit us with a pocket book or yell for the closest police officer. But the latest exhibition at the Delaware Art Museum, The Ultra-Realistic Sculptures by Marc Sijan gives viewers a recrimination-free opportunity to stare with abandon, quenching your own voyeuristic tendencies.

MARC RIBOUD photography

One of the first generation of Magnum photographers, Marc Riboud was born in Lyon in 1923, the fifth child of a large bourgeois family. His father, a keen traveler and amateur photographer, gave him his first camera – a “Vest-Pocket” Kodak – when he was 13. He was such a shy and reticent youth that his brother declared: “You don’t use your mouth, so maybe you’ll use your eyes.” 65 years later, still producing photographs, having traveled all over the world, the subject of ten monographs and exhibitions in galleries such as the Metropolitan Museum in New York, Marc Riboud reflected back on his life’s work and the path it took him on. “Taking pictures,” he said, “is like savoring life at 125th of a second.”

Photo of the Day: Deepwater Dweller

potd23 Photo of the Day: Deepwater Dweller

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) released this photo, taken in 2002 about one mile deep near a huge underwater volcano near Monterey Bay, which shows this strange marine animal, thought to be a new species that has yet to be described or named. It is a type of mollusk, called ‘nudibranch’, that sheds its shell early in life. Scientists think there are millions of species, like this one, that have yet to be named or even discovered. (NOAA)

55 Inspiring Quotations That Will Change The Way You Think

Sometimes life gets tough and we need that little something to keep us going. That little something, is inspirational quotations. We love to read and get inspired from them, but a few seconds later we throw them out of our head. The way we perceive life most of the time, is wrong. Probably the biggest thing we all search for in life is happiness.

People who search for happiness think that money and fame will make their life perfect. As good as that sounds most of the time, that statement is not true at all. You have to be thankful for everything you know and own. Just when you want something better than you already have (Example: a new iPhone,) remind yourself that someone in the world has never even had the privilege of using such technology. There is somebody always better than you and always somebody less fotunate than you. Until you find the middle ground and accept what you have, you will not reach happiness.

Now while reading this you are probably thinking we sound like your mother. Just like that person who always loved and cared for you, we are trying to help you in the right direction. We strongly encourage you to read every single one of these quotations and walk away with a brand new mindset. I strongly believe that each and every one of us has a creative mind, and the reason we don’t use it is because we are afraid of failure. I strongly believe in this quote “If you never try you’ll never know.” As corny as it sounds it’s true. So next time you doubt yourself  think of this, and show people what you are made of. The worst thing that could happen is you fail, big deal, get up and try again.

Today we have gathered some of the most inspirational quotes we could find. All of the quotations below were hand-picked based on the message they sent. Of course as our name suggests we want to feed you with inspiration, so grab your favorite piece of beverage and enjoy the following quotes!

Fractal art by Scott Ferman

1146 Fractal art by Scott Ferman
Scott Ferman: “My interest in fractal art comes from the idea of bringing order out of chaos. Most of my artwork begins life as a haze of random pixel noise on the computer screen.”
