The Mansurovs Photovore | Webzine sur la photo numérique TwistedSifter - The Best of the visual Web, sifted, sorted and summarized Matt Wisniewski combines old and new in his beautiful photo collages. Some people create images to make a statement. Others, like Matt Wisniewski, do it because it looks pretty. “It’s mostly just aesthetic,” explains the 21-year-old computer science student of his spectral photo collages. “Whatever looks nice, really.” Art for art’s sake is no new conceit.

Beginning last July, unprecedented monsoons dropped nearly ten years' worth of rainfall on Pakistan in one week, swelling the country's rivers. "It was a very slow-motion kind of disaster," said Russell Watkins, a multimedia editor with the U.K.' According to Watkins, who photographed the trees during a trip to Pakistan last December, people in Sindh said they'd never seen this phenomenon before the flooding. (See pictures: "World's Biggest, Strongest Spider Webs Found.") As for what exactly had spun the webs, Watkins said: "There wasn't a scientific analysis of this being done. "It was largely spiders," he added. —Ker Than
Freelance Graphic Design Inspiration and Design Gallery | DesignersCouch.org What In The?!: INSANE Posed Ant Photography Russian photographer Andrey Pavlov takes insane macro pictures of LIVE ants by spending hours and hours playing with them and posing them to get the perfect shot.
