It’s thank you in Spanish!

I think we’re going to have a bit of a focus on photography this week as I just seem to keep coming across picture takers of talent. Duncan Ewington has been around the traps for a while now, taking amazing skate shots and tattooing up a storm when he’s not flashing the film. Check out his blog Gracias for more cool imagery.

Walk a mile in their shoes

Portuguese photographer Jose Ferreira dares to take his lens beyond the glittery fashion photography that adorns his folio – to the Trash lands of Mozambique. Located in Southern Mozambique, a few meters from the airport in Maputo, is the Hulén dump – but to some this is also home. Looking through his amazing documentary photography, cacooned in your everyday cups of coffee and pastry, spare a moment to consider the lengths these people go to to survive in these worlds of waste, a hostile, germ and disease ridden hell… but still it is their home.

There once was a spider

There once was an old woman who swallowed a spider to catch the fly that wriggled and jiggled inside her. Surely most of you would remember this rhyme from when you were wee ones? Jonathan Hobin certainly recalls some of the best childhood rhymes in his latest photography series. From Peter, Peter Pumkin Eater to Jack Horner he’s captured them all in their cheeky, sometimes gory glory.

Three ring circuit

Being the bunch of total nerds we are here at NtN we were pretty excited to come across this amazing recycled circuitry jewellery created by Paola Mirai, an Italian designer based in Milan. From rings made of old computer parts to recycled photography light meters and ink jet printers, her creations a simply lush!

Ego is not a dirty word

There’s something to be said for taking a good long hard look at yourself in the mirror, and another for photographing the many things you may find in your reflection, but in the case of Netherlands based photographer, Ruadh DeLone, we are happy he decided to share with us his amazing series of self-portraits – there’s more on his site as well so make sure you take a look.
