Field Trip Festival

This isn’t the most amazing lineup I’ve seen, but it’s good for a new festival. We’re mostly featuring this because this poster is too cute and this festival just happened this past weekend.

The Grove Fest

I’m thrilled to hear that Girl Talk is coming back to festivals this year.

Photo Series

Photo Essay: Children of the Russian Elite

I just noticed in my 20 tabs open I have about six tabs of photo series. Instead of making a new post about each individual collection, I figured I would condense it and be more efficient by sticking them all into one post. This first series by photographer Anna Skladmann is a photo essay called “Children of the Russian Elite.” I love how Skladmann photographs the children in a way that shows us how different their childhood is from the average kid. There aren’t any sandboxes or dirt on their faces. Despite their young faces, you can easily tell that these children are more mature than their actual age and that’s something that I find so interesting about this essay. [Source]

Potholes

I am incredibly amused by the Pothole photo series by husband wife duo Claudia Ficca and Davide Luciano! The two photographers capturing potholes in Los Angeles, Toronto, and New York have managed to turn them into something beautiful and comical at the same time.

Their inspiration: “After a sudden collision with a canyon sized crater of a pothole we decided to channel our frustration into a positive project where the useless pothole would be a source of humor and creativity.” [Source]

This project found on Behance Network shows how much people’s looks can change in ten years.

Icelandic Volcanoes

I am envious of the lives that photographers, journalists, and buyers lead because traveling automatically comes with the job. Marcel Mucil, a travel photographer, has captured these stunning images of Icelandic volcanoes and I am mesmerized by these gorgeous colors and views. [Source]

There is no denying that the moneymakers and businessmen of Tokyo are hardworking, but making that scrill comes with a price. For the past seven years, photographer Pawel Jaszczuk has been photographing “salarymen” in Tokyo. They are obviously dressed for work, but clearly are not awake for it since they are passing out on sidewalks all over the city. [Source]

Poor girl! She’s only four and she’s crying because she’s in love with her 15-year old counselor Stephen from her Vacation Bible School. Even though this is traumatizing for the young girl, I think I enjoyed watching this video more than the 3-year old Justin Bieber lover.

Reasons? 1) It’s not Justin Bieber.  2) This video doesn’t drag on like the other one. 3) She’s got a Hello Kitty blanket. WINNER
