Digital cameras have revolutionized the art of photography. Gone are hours in a darkroom, film, and treasured cameras passed down from one shutterbug to another. Slovenian industrial designer and artist Elvis Halilović has created a series of six wooden pinhole cameras in an attempt to bring photography back to its roots. Working to create a simple, attractive, and affordable camera, Halilović recently launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for the production of his ONDU Pinhole camera.

Everything changed for Boston Magazine when the Boston marathon explosions occurred just three days before they were due to publish their next issue. The editors had very little time to completely re-work the content to not only pay homage to the runners, many of whom were badly maimed, but also to build up the city’s sense of resilience. In a herculean communal effort, the magazine’s staff, families and runners worked together to gather and arrange more than 100 pairs of runners’ shoes into the shape of a heart – and then Mitchell Feinberg snapped this iconic image.

The Earth will probably continue to turn long after humans are devoured by rat-size snails or flesh-eating zombies, but A Design award winner Johanna Mårtensson wanted to explore the notion for herself. After testing how various materials biodegrade, the Swedish artist and theater designer built a model city entirely out of bread and then photographed its inevitable decay over the next six months.

For most of us, it might be difficult to figure out what there is to see in a can of Spam. However, what there is to see through a can of Spam is an entirely different story. F295 user ‘underbyte’ has created a compact little pinhole camera made from the ham housing and a collection of household objects that he has dubbed the SpamCam. The whole contraption is complete with a square viewfinder and tripod mount, and is held together with little more than glue and a couple of rubber bands.

Whether at age eight or eighty, there is something endlessly fascinating about the beauty of a soap bubble. Jason Tozer captures the fleeting colors and swirls of suds in his series of high resolution photographs. The London-based artist used a Hasselblad camera with a 135mm lens along with a lighting technique that required a large dome to illuminate the surface of each bubble. Resembling oil slicks or the atmospheres of alien worlds, the photographs highlight a subject that is at once familiar and foreign.

Beauty is truly fleeting, especially when it is frozen in liquid nitrogen and shattered by a spring-loaded contraption.  New York photographer Jon Shireman immerses flowers for up to 30 minutes in LN2, and rockets them into a hard surface, recording their destruction with a high speed camera for his 2010 “Broken Flowers” project.  Displayed against a stark white background, the blooms resemble splintered china plates or floral fireworks.

With the EyeRing, a new camera-equipped ring that takes photos and delivers them to a smart phone, “point and shoot” could take on a whole new meaning. The device, which is being developed by  Roy Shilkrot and Suranga Nanayakkara at MIT Media Lab, is meant to help the visually impaired navigate their surroundings. The remarkable, Bluetooth-connected device can serve as a “virtual cane,” which not only detects obstacles in its path but also reads signs, identifies currency, and perceives color.

Peace and unity through photography — that’s the idea that the I am Kenyan project aims to promote. Their goal is to avoid similar incidents as those that hit Kenya during the 2007 presidential elections, when uncertain election results spurred tribal clashes across the country. As 2013 sees a new presidential election there are some concerns that post election violence might occur again.

In January 2005, a terrible hurricane-force storm swept through Sweden, felling 75,000,000 cubic meters of forest in its wake. Called Gudrun, this monster was even more destructive than the Derecho that left millions of Americans without power last week. After officials cleared this particular patch of pine trees in southern Sweden, a magnificent pattern of a giant tree emerged. Photographer Joakim Berglund captured the moment in this awesome photograph, which went on to win Sweden’s annual press photography awards in 2006. All these years later, Berglund’s powerful image continues to underscore Mother Nature’s potential for both extraordinary beauty and terror. Prints are available for purchase at the London Natural History Museum.
