From the base of the quarry, deep, deep below street level, all sounds and sights of civilization seem to melt away; it feels like a mixture of Jurassic Park and Mars.

LEVI MANDEL: ‘Carly’s Broken Bones’
Words and photos from Levi Mandel I’ve got a friend named Carly who lives just across the water in Copenhagen. I met Carly in New York a few years ago. Although I adore my Scandinavian friends met here in Malmö, there is an element of comfort that can only be found in a familiar face, [...]
Antonio Bolfo: ‘NYPD Impact’
Antonio Bolfo was a photographer before he was a cop. Once he was put on the beat in South Bronx projects, Bolfo began bringing his camera to work in hopes of documenting the job and capturing images of the emotional and physical strains that come with it.
LEVI MANDEL: ‘Rotten Apple Rooftops NYC’

Paul Kwiatkowski’s ‘Acid Dancer’
Nicole never hung out. Normally she stayed cloistered inside her room. I secretly had a crush on her even though the few times I made contact with her, she referred to me as “one of her brother’s little friends” or, worse yet, “Worm”.

I had no idea what either of those ambitions entailed other than being a hot leggy lady with lots of teeth that pranced around to Holiday show tunes with a bunch of other identical girls that were all, for whatever reason, marketed to the elderly.

LEVI MANDEL: ‘The Creation Museum, a Piece of Art in a World of Sin’
Last week we shared Levi Mandel‘s roadtrip photos from middle America. This week he’s got something even more American, a Creationist Museum in Petersburg, Kentucky that doesn’t allow gay people through the front door. The museum looks super creepy, and the dioramas depicting “evil things” that happen in a world without the bible are hilarious. [...]

Featured Photographer: Dan Holdsworth
Featured Photographer: Dan Holdsworth http://www.danholdsworth.com/ Dan Holdsworth’s photos make earth look like an alien planet. They are mostly landscapes, and there are no people in them. In some cases, like the one with the broken highway, they look like visions of the world after humanity has disappeared and nature starts swallowing our machines. The lights [...]

Featured Photographer: Miru Kim
