Study arts
Likes photography, coffee, rainy days, bunnies, internet, reading, music all day, being alone, walk alone, microscope living things, crystals, deep sea creatures, explosions, lonely places and landscapes, ruins (ancient and actual ruins), a nice piece of art, good architecture, when the nature invades buildings, planets, stars, nebulas, black holes, galaxies and all sort of deep space stuff... that's what I can think for the moment. I'll finish this list later
The Strange Cuteness of Insect Portraits
Usually when you see extreme close-ups of insects, they look like terrifying monsters. The segmented eyes, the tiny cilia, the barbed limbs, and so on. But award-winning photographer Igor Siwanowicz manages to make his insect micrography… cute?
He even uses LOL-cats style captions for some of his images, like “OM NOM NOM” or “Who’s the Apex Predator Nao?” You’d never believe spiders, mantises and moths could be so lovable when viewed at extreme magnification. Siwanowicz’s insect photos won the Olympus BioScapes Competition. Check out more at the link. [Blepharopsis at DeviantArt via Earth Beat]
