California is a breathtaking, beautiful land, and Yosemite is one of its best. Not that I’m biased or anything.

Infinity Mirror Room by Yayoi Kusama

Yayoi Kusama’s piece at the Tate Modern in London is a beautiful environment of infinite space, like being in a limitless colorful galaxy. It was created using mirrors and LED lights. The exhibition is over, but the photos of it are amazing. See more here.

No compass finds home.

Caren Alpert’s electron microscope photos of food

Caren Alpert asks a good question with her series, terra cibus: what’s in our food? The project is a collection of electron microscope images of different foods, from shrimp tails (pictured) to chocolate cake to vegetables. In some cases you can clearly see the differences in texture, uniformity, composition, some beautiful and foreign, some just as you might have expected.

“Photographs taken with electron microscopes have seized my interest because of their mystery and simultaneous familiarity. This medium deconstructs, abstracts, and reveals the ordinary in a riveting way. The closer the lens got, the more I saw food – and consumers of food – as part of a larger eco-system.”
