normally, knowing about negative two cents' worth of art, i leave all the linkage and commentary to the capps (happy birthday, by the way, old man! join my ancient ranks!). but i recently came across two photographers whose stuff is, i think, pretty awesome, so i wanted to put them here:

the bizarre/beautiful child portraiture of loretta lux

creepily fake-looking aerial photographs of cities and other structures by olivo barbieri (via waxy)
