We all wear masks, and the time comes when we
cannot remove them without removing some of our own skin.

"Why do we always take the same picture, 

if not to interact with what already exists?

The photograph proves our presence. 

And to be true, the picture will be perfectly consistent 

with the pictures in our collective memory."

--  Corinne Vionnet

Stonehenge, England

In this photo series, Corrine Vionnet layers hundreds and hundreds of opaque tourist photos of renowned world landmarks. Around the edges of the photo are people and changes in scenery, however the constant in the center shows the superimposed landmark captured from by millions of tourist, timeless in its repetition.

hello, hong kong



What a fascinating perspective
of a vibrant city
and such attention to detail.

I love your transitions and sound edits.
Well done, Sirma Doruk

would have looked so much better
if it wasn't with a point and shoot.

Brussels, Belgium

Three things I love about Madrid:

the people

the weather

the architecture

And most of all -- the sangria

One of my favorite cities in Europe,

I hope to end up here someday

we own the sky

Paris, France

I hate that goddamn time stamp

My next wish-list vacation destination:

Nautilus Undersea Suite

at The Poseidon Resort.

Located on a private island in Fiji, the Nautilus Undersea Suites are the first of its kind. The first sea floor resort in the world is submerged 40 feet underwater situated by a coral reef, with a 270 degree view of the surrounding marine life. Not that attractive (design wise) from the outside, but I'm sure the view from inside out more than makes up for it.

What an idyllic place to escape to--
