Taking halftone a few steps further, Hideyuki Sawavanagi’s sculptures are created by punching hundreds of holes into aluminum sheets. The result is oddly holographic, ghostly, and awesome.

Facity (face + city) is a very cool daily photography project started in Berlin in 2008 inwhich any photographer can submit a portrait photo (as long as it meets the Facity manifest guidelines). The result is a large body of faces numbering in the thousands. Must see!  (via)

Symmetrical Portraits by Julian Wolkenstein.

Testing the “myth” (is it a myth?) of symmetrical faces being more attractive than non-symmetrical, Wolkenstein photographs faces, first naturally, and then with symmetry applied via a mirror effect. The result is interesting. I still don’t think it’s a myth, as the portraits, in my opinion, show an improvement in attractiveness when symmetry is applied… for most, not all.

Also, check out Echoism, where you can upload your own photo and play with it’s symmetry.

In the photographic series Where Children Sleep, photographer James Mollison displays the similarities in children’s personal expressions in both outward presentation and in the contents of their bedroom. I love it. Also available as a book. (via Fubiz)
