Sugar Skull (raspberry flavored) by Joseph Marr

Kitana is a signature member of the Mortal Kombat roster, so we wanted to come up with something exciting and fresh for her look in Mortal Kombat X.

Past incarnations have tended to favor the royal qualities of the character over the warrior aspects, so we decided to reverse that for her costume. She has a stealthier, more ninja inspired design with blue as an accent color against the black parts of her costume.

Confession

Since 1968, Josef Koudelka has continuously employed a panoramic camera to showcase terrains that have been shaped, altered and destroyed by the effects of industry, time and territorial conflict. Measuring over eight feet in length—a scale which transforms the works into life-size picture windows—Koudelka’s photographs are devoid of human figures but not of human presence, with scars of mining operations, industrial exploitation and constructed physical barriers evident in the shots. Joself Koudelka: Twelve Panoramas, 1987-2010 is on view at 508 West 25th Street, New York through February 14.

Michael, you’re not only an amazing photographer but also a very inspirational person to us all. Please tell us how your photography portrays your perception of the world?

Photography is a way to escape from our everyday lives. It gives us a reason to travel to new places for something exciting; it also gives us an excuse to go back to areas that we have been thousands of times in hopes of discovering something new.

My perception of the world is no different than anyone else’s. I just happen to have a camera. I like beautiful things and when I see beauty I like to capture it and keep it for myself. Photography has taught me an important lesson: everyday beauty will pass us by if we don’t actively seek it. This not only applies to photos, but everyday people. It isn’t simply the overall picture that makes something attractive, it is the individual parts that add up to make that something beautiful.

The Shedd Aquarium today announced the name of their insanely adorable otter pup, Luna. 

We here at the Field Museum have some extreme Otter Envy of our neighbors. 

There have been many hallway conversations about smooshing, squishing, and snuggling that little ball of fluff, that end a bit higher pitched than they started.

The Winter Bluejay.

Saw tons of bluejays hanging out on a tree by my house today, so I decided it was a good enough excuse to pull out my camera and get to using my new Sigma 70-200 2.8.

Women in STEM of WWII - The real “Rosie Riveters”

In most countries women were not permitted to fight on the front lines of the war. Instead, they supported the war effort by learning, training and taking up jobs usually held by men.

These women did a lot more than rivet, they designed, built and tested thousands of aircraft in factories across Canada and the US.  Prior to the war, women would have been mostly banned from taking up such jobs.
