Photographed in primarily static, symmetrical compositions, the buildings appear as [...]

The film shot in 1973, followed the fortune of Sir Galahad and his journey into the nether regions of England on a holy quest. We particularly love the [...]
Photographer Nolan Conway has created a fantastic series of portraits of McDonalds diners, which were recently posted on the New York Times. What Nolan found, after visiting hundreds of their restaurants across America, was the diversity in the customers, how it’s one of the only places where the poor dine alongside the rich, which you [...]
