Shooting from the beach on a pre-loved Canon film rig, Gibson realized he had found his passion and his true life calling. Read more
Photos taken inside a Russian space rocket factory
Lana Sator snuck into a space rocket factory near Moscow and took these stunning photos reminiscent of lost scenes from some epic sci-fi movie. Whilst the site might look decrepit and abandoned, the factory is fully active and the Russian government is not impressed with Sator’s little adventures into forbidden territory.

I stumbled upon this cool street style blog that shows original and edgy people on the streets of Helsinki. Punk, Goth, Harajuku, Pin-up or retro, the people featured here have a unique sense of style.

What’s more, they’ve started a new genre called ‘Aristocrunk’. Watch out!
