This Exists... Because of A Lady

Photographer Envisions Her Daughter as Groundbreaking Women of History

by Susana Polo | 10:16 am, May 14th, 2013

Jaime Moore wanted to do something special for her daughter’s fifth birthday photo, but when she looked online, all she could find were princess tutorials.

And those pictures? They’re great.

Chocolate Cake, but Really Big. No. Really Big: Caren Alpert’s Food Art

by Susana Polo | 10:12 am, September 21st, 2012

Caren Alpert has made her living taking, as she puts it, “mostly recognizable” pictures of food, but her microphotography project Terra Cibus (from the Latin for “ground” and “meat”… that’s ground as in what’s under your feet, sorry pun lovers) presents food as unrecognizable landscapes, patterns and textures.
