Photographer Mark Hersch Creates A Time Collision Of Photos Taken 50 Years Apart

Mark Hersch is a self-taught photographer who loves to take pictures of everything and anything. He received his first camera as a gift from his parents at age 10 which is when he discovered his love of capturing moments, nature, people, animals, objects and everything in between.

50 years later he travelled back to his hometown and started photographing the same things without realising he was engaging in rephotography – pictures taken of the same place from the same vantage point at two different moments in time. But when he realised that he had a unique comparison collection he applied to art shows and got accepted to everything to his surprise. He’s currently enjoying his second career and sharing his amazing shots with the world one photograph at a time.

Shanilou Perera

Shanilou has always loved reading and learning about the world we live in. While she enjoys fictional books and stories just as much, since childhood she was especially fascinated by encyclopaedias and strangely enough, self-help books. As a kid, she spent most of her time consuming as much knowledge as she could get her hands on and could always be found at the library. Now, she still enjoys finding out about all the amazing things that surround us in our day-to-day lives and is blessed to be able to write about them to share with the whole world as a profession.

This Cambodian Artist Took Doodling To The Next Level

Cambodian artist Visoth Kakvei masterfully brings together symbolism and style, and no sketchbook has enough pages for his creativity.

The 27-year-old graphic designer usually draws his works freehand and the pieces take 3-6 hours to finish, but sometimes Kakvei feels it’s not enough. So, to make his incredibly intricate maze-like illustrations even more stunning, the artist digitally enhances them, making the doodles appear as if they’re popping out from the pages.

His mostly nature-inspired designs have already earned Visoth a staggering 800k following on Instagram and his fan army only keeps on growing.
