Porcelian Battle Shatterings by Martin Klimas.

January 12, 2013 by capture-monger

Whilst researching the works of Martin Klimas, the high-speed photographic documentation of the poetic destruction of martial artist porcelain figurines came to light. Using powerful strobes and incredibly fast shutter speeds, Klimas was able to capture near-choreographed poses of battle and shattering with said ceramic figures. Pretty jaw-dropping results. See the bottom for Martin’s own words on the process and intention of the project. EHREE BUDDY WAS KUNG-FU FIGHTING.

Quirky as Folk: The Photography of Michael Carlebach.

January 8, 2013 by capture-monger

Michael Carlebach is an unsung master of documentary / photo-journalistic photography. Few other people have been able to capture the insanity and quirkiness of the American culture, and on a grander scale, the folly and strangeness of the current stage of evolution humanity finds itself in. Hands down, Carlebach will go down as one of the photojournalism’s greats and has been a superb chronicler of the peculiarities of American life and the bizarreness of existence in general. Some brilliant captures […]

January 3, 2013 by capture-monger

Found a few humorous bits centered on Spiderman recently and thought I would finally post them. The first is of Spiderman’s friendly but disturbing antics in the Macy’s Day Parade this past November 2012. The second is just a sordid meme from some sick and twisted mind. mwahahaaa.

Magnetized Liquid + Water Colors = Macro Abstract Art

December 31, 2012 by capture-monger

After discovering the wondrous interaction of magnets upon ferrofluids and seeing the micro-sculptures created by Sachiko Kodma, the swiss photographer Fabian Oefner began to experiment with the medium himself. Adding water color via a surgical syringe to a bubble of magnetized ferrofluid, Oefner creates extraordinary bubbles of complexly cordoned color. MORE FERROFLUID MAGIC TO COME!
