Activate’s photo of the day; Thai Buddhists carrying candles encircle a large Buddha statue on Asanha Puja Day, the eve of the Buddhist lent, on the outskirts of Bangkok. The image, taken on July 17, 2008, captures the light trails of the moving candles.
Photographed by Adrees Latif.
Lauren Treece’s illustrations are neat, but it’s her quiet pretty photographs that get me.
I just have to share Margarita Angel’s “Rene en magicland” because I think I’ve fallen in love with this beautiful brown cow.
Sometimes, I’d like to have enough luck. Maybe if I had all the clovers in Sophie Thouvenin’s luck series. Then, things would fall quietly, perfectly into place, as they certainly seem to in her photographs.
(I know. Silly plugs.)
Pyhai’s drawings are curious and strange; her photos are captures of small incidents.
Maleonn Ma’s photographs put me in an entirely different world.
Jan Dunning’s work is an extended love letter to the pinhole camera. (Egad, really saintstigersloversart, where do you get all this?)

Leandro Erlich, messing with your perspective and your sense of reality for quite a few years.
“You are lucky to be one of those people who wishes to build sand castles with words, who is willing to create a place where your imagination can wander. We build this place with the sand of memories; these castles are our memories and inventiveness made tangible. So part of us believes that when the tide starts coming in, we won’t really have lost anything, because actually only a symbol of it was there in the sand. Another part of us thinks we’ll figure out a way to divert the ocean. This is what separates artists from ordinary people: the belief, deep in our hearts, that if we build our castles well enough, somehow the ocean won’t wash them away. I think this is a wonderful kind of person to be.”

A few of the 1500+ photos I took during my two week trip.
There was plenty of all of that on the west coast.
Have I mentioned I’d never seen the Pacific Ocean before?
It was awesome!
Serge Giachetti got his degree in philosophy and an “OK” from a local weekly regarding his photographs of landscapes. Now he’s at work on a project for National Geographic. He loves photography.
