Subconscious Pink

Subconscious Pink is a new and intriguing conceptual serie of photographic montages by Nik Mirus who has been recognized multiple times as an emerging international photographic and visual artist talent.

Upcoming exhibit: Nov 2-26 — Galerie Armatta Montreal.

Curvy architectural

Egill Bjarki photoshoot of the Gemini Residence underlines his ability to capture the geometrics of this curvy architectural marvel. Almost looks like graphic design elements.

Stormtroopers 365

Just received my daily dose of sanity. Stormtroopers 365 is a photo project starring TK455 and TK479, Stormtroopers in the Galactic Empire Army. The project spanned from April 2009 to April 2010. Each day during this year, a new picture was added to the series. Prints available for die-hard fans.

Now how much fun is that?

Kim Høltermand

Ordinary turned extraordinary photography by Kim Høltermand. The colorization gives it an outworldly effect that is very poetic and somewaht surreal.

The Superpunks

The Superpunks photo essay by Jan van Holleben is one of many quirky, out there experiments he has done through the years. In this particular one (as in others as well), he takes unexpected daily objects and accessories and turns them into something else altogether.

Proof of a mind capable of conceptualizing forms and then finding the object that renders his vision.

DA + CM + TWB =

Wonderland is a compilation of images featuring The Washington Ballet’s landmark productions recreated in mystical places in Washington, DC.

Wonderland is a tribute to the success of community effort, as it was created by people who came together to donate their time and money to make the book a reality. Wonderland was designed by Pum and Jake Lefebure from award-award-winning firm Design Army and photographed by Cade Martin with the help of TWB.

“Design Army is a firm believer in creative before cash” and this project proves they walk the talk.

“Eighteen months ago, we approached TWB to start planning for their 10-year anniversary. At that time, we wanted to let TWB know that Design Army was more than a creative vendor; we were also an enthusiastic supporter.”

Download the creative story .pdf, and be inspired.

Where does the money go? The proceeds from the book will go to funding main stage productions, community engagement initiatives and education programs, such as DanceDC, an innovative program for first- and second-graders that integrates ballet and creative movement into the curriculum of the DC’s public schools.

The money will also support Excel!, an initiative that will provide 50 full scholarships this year to talented young boys and girls who wish to continue ballet classes after second grade.

This is a great initiative and ND is proud to join in trying “to generate a large-scale media buzz”. If so inclined, the book is a keeper, buy it.
