Banksy, via Flickr user goldenticket. It’s a simple idea: Find some bad art, whether original or a print, for a song at a thrift store, then modify it to make, if not “better art,” then at least something that’s more entertaining to look at. (Is it the same thing? Yeah, that sounds like a productive argument.) Anyway. Etsy seller loudxmouse. Banksy, via Flickr user Darrell Godliman. Reportedly Banksy, via Reddit.

Top 10 Pictures That Shocked The World It has often been said throughout time that a picture is worth a thousand words.

They tell a powerful story, a story poignant enough to change the world and galvanize each of us.

Photographers and Social Networking You’re a photographer, and you want to do it right. The big question, of course, is: What exactly does it mean to do things “right” in this digital day and age? The photography aside, there are a lot of other aspects to photography, and most of them have to do with, well, business, or at least with trying to reach other people, to entice them to look at your work. How do you do that? There’s an industry of people who specialize in telling photographers how to do that, and I have no intention of joining them. In particular, I really want to write a few words about what people call “social networking.” The ruling dogma is that photographers have to use all the tools of social networking to get somewhere. To start it off, let me be a little bit clearer about what I mean. Let me see whether I can list all the different tools at your disposal. Do you, as a photographer, have to have and use email, a website, a blog, a Facebook page, a Twitter account, and a Tumblr account? Another example.

The Girl Who Loves to Levitate (14 photos) 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. 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
