Thought-Provoking Photo Project Explores Social Inequality In America. Baptist Minster/Ku Klux Klan Photographer Mark Laita completed an 8-year-long photo project that explores social inequality in America.
Called ‘Created Equal’, Laita traveled the country, capturing people from all walks of life who share a certain connection—but yet, they are different. “In America, the chasm between rich and poor is growing, the clash between conservatives and liberals is strengthening, and even good and evil seem more polarized than ever before,” wrote Laita in his artist statement. “At the heart of this collection of diptychs is my desire to remind us that we were all equal, until our environment, circumstances, or fate molded and weathered us into whom have become.” Check out his photos below: Martin Stavars Photography - IPA Architectural Photographer of the Year - Home.

Portraits of Soldiers Before, During, and After War. Private Chris MacGregor, 24 Photographer Lalage Snow, who is currently based in Kabul, Afghanistan, embarked on an 8-month-long project titled We Are The Not Dead featuring portraits of British soldiers before, during, and after their deployment in Afghanistan.
Similar to Claire Felicie's series of monochromatic triptychs, Snow captures the innocent expressions of these men transformed into gaunt, sullen faces in less than a year. The three-panel juxtaposition allows the viewer to observe the physical changes a stationed soldier in a war zone goes through. Time is sped up for these men under the beating sun, amidst combat. Regardless of age, the boys that went in came back as men with experiences beyond their years. Retronaut. Julian Broad Recent. Alexander Khokhlov / Photos.

My Modern Metropolis The Curious World of Children Bodybuilders This digitally altered photo series titled Bodybuilder's World by Belgian photographer Kurt Stallaert takes a look at a rarely imagined world filled with people, young and old, who have clearly spent every waking moment pumping iron. While it may seem strange for every single person to be so ripped, it's definitely the fully developed and extremely fit figures attached to wholesome children that warrants a double-take. I have to admit that it took a second to acknowledge that something was amiss in these photographs. It wasn't a very long second, but upon realizing what I was looking at, it seemed hard for me to ever see past these children whose sweet, innocent faces sit atop unusually muscular bodies.

People of the Rainbow Gathering. Ever hear about Rainbow Gatherings?
They're temporary community events typically held in outdoor settings; a place where people practice ideals like peace, love and harmony.

In the United States, the annual event is held on National Forest land from July 1 through 7. The highlight is when everyone gathers together in a large circle, and each person prays silently for peace. 1942 Harley Davidson on Photography Served.

You might have heard the age-old saying “an apple a day keeps the doctor away,” but new research has shown that taking and sharing a photo a day might also have some health benefits.
In a study carried out by UK scientists Liz Brewster of Lancaster University and Andrew M Cox of the University of Sheffield, the results show that those who committed to a “photo-a-day challenge” showed improvements in their well-being. A sample group of amateur photographers—aged between 20 and 60, and already posting to social platforms such as Instagram, Flickr, and Blipfoto—were selected to take part in the study. The researchers took a record of each of the participant’s daily snaps, their captions, and the online engagement they had with fellow photo enthusiasts.
The final part of the research involved a phone interview, where each subject revealed their first-hand experiences.
