Peter Funch, Babel Tales

Peter Funch shot the same corner in New York City everyday at the same hour for twenty days – then meticulously photoshopped the images he captured to create the Babel Tales series. The goal of the exercise was to show human synchronicity in a large metropolis. The result is pure genious.

Guess what these people above all have in common?

Must be 3pm, they obviously need a GURU!!!

Funch, born in Danemark in 1974, graduated in photojournalism from the Danish school of journalism in 2000. He now lives in NY.

Have you seen the Kim Kardashian + Reggie Bush shoot in GQ?

So there really ARE fringe benefits to working out regularly

Vanity Fair puts the spotlight on ladies: a series of photographs of today’s most beautiful, famous women, captured by some of the best photographers. We love this shot of Jessica Biel, by Norman Jean Roy. Gisele nude on a white horse is not bad either.

I personally have never been to a car show, but am well aware of the motor chick stereotype: models all dolled-up, posing there like props to show off the luxurious machines to best light.  For most, these chicks are a mere distraction. For Dutch artist Jacqueline Hassink, they are ‘a mirror of global cultural values with regard to their ideal images of beauty and women.’

Hassink spent the past five years traveling to three continents photographing car show girls. The result is a limited-edition, subversive photography book titled Car Girls (Aperture, $85), launching in the U.S. just before the New York International Car Show.
