This is pretty amazing - live models brought into a painterly rendition of life. No photoshop required.
As you may have figured out, my name is Matt Griswold. This is where I think aloud, tag the trappings of the interwebs, and rant about all things interesting and ridiculous. You can reach me at mgriswold[at]gmail.com

An awesome photo series by David Jackson. Hit the link for 18 more mini-planets.
This awesome photographic series by Corinne Vionnet, entitled Photo Opportunities, combines hundreds of tourist snaps into a single image -- reflecting in the end result an incredible consistency in the amateur, opportunistic eye of travelers looking to capture their latest treasure of culture cred. Perhaps, if I could break away from staring for a moment, there's an insight to be found here about our shared perception of idyllic forms, collective memories, the golden ratio... maybe; but I can't help but to lose myself in these painterly composites for now.
Over an impromptu Valentine’s run to Vegas this weekend (to check out Cirque du Soleil’s LOVE), I had the pleasure of toying around with the Hipstamatic for hours upon hours across the California desert. The iPhone app lets you toggle between retro films and lenses, and features a hard-to-resist internal store with which to further equip the iPhone’s otherwise lame camera. The result? A lot of sometimes-in-focus, analog-style fun that kept me entertained along the way… and netted the developer more than a 5-fold increase in incremental revenue as a result of my insatiable appetite for new lenses, films and flashes.
Here’s an awesome gallery of other Hipstamatic devotees on Flickr.
