South Central Dallas by Laurisa Galvan. 

The photographer writes:

South Central Dallas is about an inner city urban area in social isolation. I was told not to go there. There is a taboo; ordinary people stay away from that area, and the people who reside there seem to stay within their territory. The area is described as dangerous, both by residents and outsiders; it seems exotic. A place where the rules, to a certain extent, do not apply. It is a place people want to see on television, but they don’t really want to be there. It is a place that can be easily ignored. It’s streets do not sleep; day or night there is always something going on.

I really dig this work - her words match exactly how I felt looking at the images (before reading what she wrote). These thumbs don’t do it justice, go over to Fraction Magazine and check out the rest. 

This is a before and after of what applying every Instagram filter to a photograph will do to it. (Normal + Amaro + Rise + Hudson + Sierra + X-pro II + Lo-fi + Earlybird + Sutro + Toaster + Brannan + Inkwell + Walden + Hefe + Valencia + Nashville + 1977 + Kelvin)

Check out this creepy photoset by Loomis Dean originally for Life Magazine.

The photos were shot in the mid-1950s and show the aftermath of a nuclear weapon’s effect on a fake town. During the Cold War the U.S. government built this fake town expressively for the purpose of testing post-atomic weapon results. Many of these photos were never originally published in Life.

Street artist INSA is merging graffiti and photography to make street art GIFs. The artist paints over a wall several times - photographing the process. He then stitches together the photos and turns them into GIFs.
