Horror Photography - Joshua Hoffine

"I believe that the horror story is ultimately concerned with the imminence and randomness of death, and the implication that there is no certainty to existence. The experience of horror resides in this confrontation with uncertainty. Horror tells us that our belief in security is delusional and that monsters are all around us." - Joshua Hoffine

ESPN Magazine: The Body Issue

Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes. Athletes put their bodies on the line. Here are the scars to prove it.


Laird Hamilton - Big Wave Surfer - Introduced tow-ins, revolutionizing the sport.



Torry Holt - Jacksonville Jaguars Wide Receiver - Holds NFL record with 6 consecutive 1,300-yard seasons.



Randy Couture - MMA Fighter - UFC best 5-time champ across 2 weight classes.



Bryan Clay - American Decathlete - The reigning Olympic champion and a world champion in 2005.

My friend and kickball teammate, the very talented Koji Toyama, shot this gallery of weathered athletes. What they put their bodies through on a daily basis is incredible and these photos capture that reality beautifully.

Check out the rest of the photos HERE.

Incredible picture, incredible destruction.

by Robert Longo

I am very drawn to this 'Heros' series by NYC artist Robert Longo. You know I love my black and white photos, which is of course one reason I love these photos, but I really love the subject matter here.

I'm sure my dad being a Marine pilot has something to do with it and growing up in that environment, but I've always been intrigued by airplanes and airports and flying - the potential for travel, to experience new places and environments - the possibilities for exploration are really endless. And this world is just so big.

I digress though, because while these photos make me think of travel, they really evoke feelings of power and strength. These pilots look straight up tough and menacing. I certainly would never want to cross paths with them in the sky.

I'm looking forward to seeing how Talk Talk use Bosanko's images in their campaign.

Zoo York 'Sky High Series' Decks

"Italian photographer, Alessandro Zuek Simonetti is most known for his photographs of the youth, and New York street culture. He most recently teamed up with Zoo York to lend a couple of his photographs for their Sky High Series skate decks." via mashKULTURE

I absolutely adore black and white photography. If I ever get my own place and do it up proper, I want only B&W photography to adorn the walls. There is just something so timeless and glamorous about it. And the photos on these skate decks prove my point - NYC shot in B&W is just so right, on so many levels. Thank you, Zoo York.

Alas, these decks are far too pretty to skate on. They belong on my walls instead.

Carefree Summer

I love this photo by Sara Norris. All I can think of while looking at it is 'bubble gum gritty', whatever that means.

And because it's finally beginning to feel like summer, now that it's July (ironically enough, it just started to rain as I typed that), here are a few more summer themed shots...
