Dancers Among Us
Dancers. Dancing. In the everyday world. That is what we find at the heart of Jordan Matter’s book of photography, Dancers Among Us. The project drops dancers, in mid-performance, into everyday situations. It’s a very simple idea, executed exceptionally well. And some of the results are amazing. I’ve picked four of my favorite images here. You can click them to see the full size versions. And if you like that, head over to the Dancers Among Us website for more. And while you are there, be sure to read the Artist’s Statement to learn how the project was inspired by Jordan’s son.
The magnificent multitude of beer
Do you like the beer? Then have a look at this. Even if you are not a beer aficionado, you likely have some idea of the craft brew industry. And you would probably reason that there are a lot of beers out there. But seeing a collection like this puts it in a whole new perspective. To get that perspective, click here to see the full-tilt-boogie version of the image. Unless you are a part of the barley literati or a hardcore labeorphile, there will be hundreds of names that are new to you. This amazing chart comes from the folks at Pop Chart Lab. It’s available as a 60×40 print, printed on 100lb archival recycled stock.
Al Gore was right!
Tornadoes in the northwest?! Either these are the end times, or there really is something to that idea of climate change. Personally, I’ve always operated under the idea that those of us in the pacific northwest had struck a deal with mother nature. We agree to live under the constant threat of destruction from volcanoes and earthquakes. And in return, we don’t get tornadoes! I like it that way. I’ve already had one volcano blow up on me (I was 20 miles north of Mt. St. Helens when it blew), which makes my odds of not doing that again pretty solid. But once you get the tornadoes… they just keep coming back. Tornadoes are the herpes of natural disasters.
Bonus! This page at boston.com has a nice collection of Mt St Helens photos.
