Photo essay: Where children sleep | The Lookout Recently, the charitable organization Save the Children asked documentary photographer James Mollison to come up with an idea to get people thinking about the rights of children around the world. What he came up with was an unusual, but powerful project: a photo essay of more than 200 children and their bedrooms, called "Where Children Sleep." "I found myself thinking about my bedroom: how significant it was during my childhood, and how it reflected what I had and who I was," Mollison, who was born in Kenya, writes. "It occurred to me that a way to address some of the complex situations and social issues affecting children would be to look at the bedrooms of children in all kinds of different circumstances." Mollison photographed the child's bedroom and the child separately, juxtaposing the two photos.

The Girl Who Loves to Levitate (14 photos) - My Modern Metropolis - StumbleUpon Natsumi Hayashi is a sweet-looking Japanese girl who, one day, decided to take self-portraits..of herself levitating. She can be spotted in and around Tokyo, equipped with her SLR and her self-timer. When she feels the moment strike, she presses the shutter button down and then, quite literally, "jumps" into place. What I love most about her shots is that they don't feel forced. Natsumi has a way of making us feel as though she naturally levitates throughout life. When I asked her how others react to her jumping around Tokyo, here is a funny story that she shared. "So I stopped jumping and apologized to them by saying, 'I am taking jumping photos for my wedding party's slide show.' "Then, I took one of the best levitation shots of the entire series." "We are all surrounded by social stress as we are bound by the forces of earth's gravity," Natsumi says when asked why she took on the series. Natsumi Hayashi's website

Once upon a time, Six Flags was filled with children’s laughter – but now it’s sad, silent, and surreal. No lines for dead rides. Watch out for that tree! No one wants a ride?
The Best Architecture Drawings of 2015 The Best Architecture Drawings of 2015 We believe good projects should be able to express and explain themselves. Architectural representation plays a fundamental role in how a project is perceived by the audience, which is why today ArchDaily is recognizing the most outstanding, original and self explanatory drawings of the year. The selected drawings cover the diverse range of different techniques used in architectural representation today, from hand drawing images to perfectly detailed axonometrics and animated GIFs - but one thing they all have in common is the deep insights they provide into the appearance, construction or concept of the buildings they represent. Lifelike architectural representation, as we know it today, stems from Greco-Roman schematic representation, which was based on careful observation of natural forms. In the Renaissance, however, the techniques of the ancient civilizations were rediscovered and refined. Architectural Drawings Sketches Details Diagrams GIFs

We Danced On The Moon Brad and I drove to the Salt Flats. I had never been before. We made an adventure out of it. We stopped and looked for ghost towns. We stopped to explore in the sunshine. Sadly we got to the Salt Flats as it started to get dark. I tried so hard not to get disappointed. It was a two hour drive, I didn't want it to be for nothing.. We drove to Wendover, ate french fries, got gas and turned back.. Right into the most stunning site I had ever seen. We stopped the car and spent a good long time taking pictures of the night sky. I left the shutter open for nearly a minute to get these photos.. No photoshop was used. Then I got a brilliant idea.. "Brad, dance with me." Brad said, "I'm not a very good dancer.." I say, "It will look like we are dancing on the moon!" So there we were, on the side of the highway as the cars and semi's blew past us... Dancing on the moon. And on the drive home I mentioned to Brad, that this was going to be one of those memories.. you know, the ones you never let go of. To no music..
