Colorful Iceland
Trekking to one of the most remote locations in the world, photographer Marcel Musil beautifully captures the serene landscape and unusually colorful Icelandic volcanoes.

The Superhero in me is Tired
As the Manchester photographer Rosie Hardy watched rioting thugs walk past her apartment, she was left with the feeling of her inner-super hero being stirred up to save the day.
Get inspired by Rosie’s Flickr stream.
School Bullying
Photographer Benoit Paillé was asked to participate in an art installation in Aomori, Japan on the topic of school bullying. Benoit created a large canvas of the children’s eyes looking across at their drawings about bullying on the other wall. All of the eyes in the full set featured on Behance are rich with emotion.
Outliers, Vol. I: Iceland
Two of my personal favorite photographers, Tim Navis and Kim Høltermand, behind Desert City, are teaming up with film collective Scenic, composer Deru and other musicians and filmmakers to capture the remote reaches of Iceland. Now they only need a handful of people to help fund the project on Kickstarter. They have my pledge!
Dust Project
In an effort to shift from commercial to artistic work, photographer Ujin Lee captured a series of images of dust frozen in time as a visual symbol of life. I would love to know how he technically captured these images.

On an unrelated note, check out this post on my site to see a working demo of my new jQuery Tumblr Photoset plugin. This plugin lets you to maintain Tumblr’s awesome new photoset layout options at virtually any size—from 100px to 1000px wide. You can also see this plugin in action on the Inspire Well theme, and by the end of the week it will be in use on all the other Style Hatch themes. I’ll post more details on the plugin when I release it later this week.

Tall Shadows
Looking down on Kaanapali beach from above. Next week I’ll be back in my routine of posting often, but for now I’m taking a much needed break to unplug from everything digital while on vacation. Although when I’m dry enough to carry a phone I’ll post up a few shots like these on Instagram (jonathanmoore).
Barricade challenger
“It was the precise moment that Frankie knew those advanced judo lessons were really going to pay off.”
Zebra Canyon
During a random conversation with strangers photographer Joshua Cripps learned of about Zebra Canyon while hiking in the Escalante National Monument in Utah. The journey to the canyon paid off with this stunning photo.
Panda Saves Cody
Continuing with epic themed posts today, here is a shot that came out of the annual invite-only photography event Phoot Camp.
I had this tiger with us from April Maystakes, and Mark Lobo had the idea to have Neil jump over it, but I thought it would be better if he was wearing a panda head and saving Cody who was leisurely watching the sky from a bear rug, as one does.
Check out Phoot Camp on Tumblr (using Inspire Well) to see a collection of all the work from this year and prior years’ Phoot Camp.
Thank Me Later by Maxime Quoilin
Belgian digital artist Maxime Quoilin beautifully combines multiple exposures, illustration and graphic design in this series of posters Thank Me Later.
Twitter + Photo Search
Just a bit ago Twitter released their new photo sharing service using Photobucket as the hosting partner. Check out their new photo search grid where it’s clear that people love to snap, tweet and eat tacos.
I wonder how long it’ll be before certain keywords get hijacked Goggle Bomb style, or Bob’s Taco shop starts spamming taco ads.
Empire
I just started working on a new project, and I am trying to set the overall mood and tone for the site. The photo used was taken the last time that I was in NYC, and the vintage typography is from a scan of an old French typography book from the 1940s.
In addition to the usual posts about design, tech, culture and ideas, I’m going to start posting ‘just for fun’ design explorations and projects similar to this with an original tag. If you’re on Dribbble feel free to follow all my shots over there—dribbble.com/jonathanmoore
Screenstagram
We made a Mac OSX Screensaver that uses the Instagram API to show all your friends’ Instagram photos. Check it out. It’s free, and it’s rapidly become my favorite screensaver.
The Barbarians, as always, never fail to disappoint. Grab the screensaver!
