When I was a child, my Nana owned a cockatiel just like Jarra (photo above, right) named Vito. We taught him to say ‘pretty bird’ and ‘turkey bird’ (I’m not so sure where that term came from). So when I saw these delightful portraits from Leila Jeffreys I was instantly won over.

With a touch of photographic magic, Rune Guneriussen brings various inanimate objects to life; documenting their journey as they glide through forests and cascade down rocky landscapes. I certainly wouldn’t mind stumbling upon these illuminated creatures in the woods.

Midwife/Middle School Science Teacher | San Antonio, TX | 3-Person Household (including dog) | First week after deciding to eat all local produce.
I think we all enjoy peeking into the lives of others, especially strangers. Through the series You Are What You Eat, photographer Mark Menjivar snaps a portrait of his subjects by simply opening their refrigerators. Mark gives us only the subject’s profession, location, size of household and a brief one line description as clues into their lives as we explore the contents of their fridge.
