In Outlook, he captures the urbanization outside through the windows of derelict buildings about to be destroyed.

I have often thought that if photography were difficult in the true sense of the term - meaning that the creation of a simple photo would entail as much time and effort as the production of a good watercolor, etching, or painting - there would be a vast improvement in total output. The sheer ease with which we can produce a superficial image often leads to creative disaster.

"Most people in rural Philippines rely on motorcycles to ferry residents to and from schools, work, and the market. Some plough the routes not served by larger vehicles and attach metal bars at the ends to accommodate extra passengers."

Photograph by Michael Galinsky

In the winter of 1989, Michael Galinsky drove across the U.S. photographing malls and the people inside them. Looking back, it’s not where in the U.S. Galinsky photographed — it’s impossible to tell Indiana from Arkansas — but when.

An artist’s only concern is to shoot for some kind of perfection, and on his own terms, not anyone else’s.

These amazing photos were taken by Russian photographer Alexey Kljatov, who adapted his camera in order to achieve remarkably close-up focus on individual snowflakes after they’ve fall on the ground. He illuminates his shots with a flashlight and the background texture is dark wool fabric.

Alexy’s images reveal the unique geometric shapes of each snowflake with such astonishing clarity that it’s easy to forget just how tiny they really are. Visit Alexey Kljatov’s Flickr stream to view many more of his remarkable snowflake photos.

There is only you and your camera. The limitations in your photography are in yourself, for what we see is what we are.
