Do not adjust your eyeballs.
“The passing of time is a fascinating concept which happens all around us, at every single moment of every single day. French photographer Laurent Dequick decided to capture these fleeting seconds in a series of photographs entitled Vibrations Urbaines. Each image is a collective sequence of multiple photographs, superimposed together to visually reflect the chaos and congestion of large urban areas”.
First catch your pot.
Kodachrome slides taken by cultural anthropologist Robert Creswell.
Creswell conducted a major study of the inhabitants of Kinvara, Co Galway in the mid-1950s,
He discovered they enjoyed bacon..
Cresswell died in 2010 and donated his archive of black and white photographs, colour slides, 16mm film footage, documents and notes etc. to the nation. He also insisted the hoard remain copyright free. Bit of a dude to be fair.

Don’t know if you guys saw that [photographic giant] Steve Schapiro released some old photos including some recognisable faces. Hidden among them is this pic of Dublin’s favourite children, the “Bankies” at the Central Bank, Dublin, in 2003.
Anyone know where they are NOW?

Two incredible photos taken back in 2009 by Zong Qin at the recently reopened Wuhan North Marshalling Yard, one of the largest in Asia, located in China’s Hubei Province.
Imaginary planetary surfaces created by London-based photographer Jason Tozer by carefully manipulating the swirls and patterns on the surface of soap bubbles.
A few years ago, he applied the technique in a smartphone commercial.
