SADNESS: Barbie & Ken Behind The Scenes One would assume Barbie lives the perfect life (I mean, if you don’t count her hoarding addiction). But you know what they say — Money doesn’t buy happiness. And apparently Barbie’s Dream House, pink Ferrari, and all those damn shoes don’t guarantee a happy marriage. Photographer Dina Goldstein brings us this never before seen look into the real lives of Barbie & Ken. There’s tension! Via: designtaxi.com Well Timed Photographs Photography Photographs taken at exactly the right moment. Psychadellivision by ~Volcanic-Penguin on deviantART Photographer Captures An Underwater Dance Of Colors The shapes displayed in Luka Klikovac’s work look like colored smoke, or maybe strange deep-sea creatures, but they’re actually mixtures of colored and black liquids immersed in water. The Serbian photographer’s photo series is called Demersal and was based on the unique motions resulting from the combination of fluids. To create this psychedelic effect, the photographer used nothing but his camera and lights capable of showing the dance of fluid shapes captured by his lenses. No digital editing resources were used afterwards, so what you see in the images are actually the precise moments when the two elements were combined. Klikovac said that the goal of his work is to create images that allow people to escape from their daily routine and that his underwater shapes should be interpreted like the Rorschach inkblot test. What do you see in them?
