June 10, 2014 by capture-monger

The stream of stimuli that has flooded our lives due to the internet is dumbfounding; especially when you hold the modern flow in comparison with that of only 20 years ago.  Debatably there are many positives and negatives, but it certainly can help to inspire.  Here are some miscellaneous images pulled from the unending search for thought provoking visuals and fascinating artifacts of human culture.
