No one said love comes easily – especially in New York City. Photographer Michaela Dalzell learned that the hard way. She moved to New York City to get a Masters in Digital Photography at the School of Visual Arts, with hopes of eventually becoming a commercial photographer. Thankfully, Dalzell’s desire to understand the people of her new home took her in a different direction.

It has been a while since an artist has left me speechless, but Nicolas Evariste has done just that. Based in Normandy, France, this 23-year-old has mastered the art of animal imagery like no other photographer I have seen thus far. I discovered Evariste this morning, and haven’t been able to close my browser since.

Check this out. You won’t be disappointed!

Valenta’s cardboard box pieces of art feature caricatures that range from monkey gangsters to nerdy sports fanatics. This man sure can pack …

If you have seen the movie Slumdog Millionaire, then you are probably familiar with the vibrant colors of India. Though much of India is desolate and impoverished, there is a subtle beauty about the country that is truly undeniable.
