Robert Mickelsen: Heart And Soul (2012)
Lampworked borosilicate glass, sculpted, blown, sandblasted
At a quick glance these colorful photographs by Milwaukee-based photographed Jack Long might pass as some kind of strange exotic flowers, but a squint of the eyes later reveals they are actually high speed photographs of colored water, captured in a way to mimic the shape of blooms, leaves, and even pots.
Each photograph from Long’s Vessels and Blooms series is captured in a stunningly precise take that took months of trial and error to perfect. Like a mad scientist he creates cocktails of dyes, thickeners, and pigments for each component of the shot and then blasts them through a customized mechanism before snapping a perfectly timed capture. “This series was a culmination of months of planning and testing. Hundreds of captures are made in testing and then many more during the actual final capture stage. A very few stand out as being the best,” he says. You can see much more of his work on Flickr and 500px. (via oddity central) (by Christopher)

If I see one more girl complain about there size and weight who isn’t, by medical definition, overweight I think I might just stop bothering trying and slit my wrists now to save me the agony of the outside world and all its stupidity.
Oi you there!? You are not fat, you are not ugly, you are not disgusting. You are beautiful and a gullible idiot for believing what other people say about your own appearance.
GROW A PAIR and build yourself a fucking bridge and get over yourself whilst your at it!
