Peter Funch: Babel Tales Gallery
Peter Funch, born in 1974 in Denmark, who lives and works in New York, is a fine observer of human behavior. In this particular photo set he gather at the same time identical moments of different people who found themselves in the same place. Imagine if all the people near you are smoking right now. What kind of scenery would that be? What if you see that everyone is screaming?
He imagined all this and further more he captures the moment on camera.

The New Trabant nT
If you live in US, you probably don’t know about this car and the history behind it. In a few words, Trabant was a car produced back in the late 50’s till 1991 in the former East Germany. It rapidly became one of the symbols in the East Germany as well as in other communist countries. For advocates of capitalism it is often cited as an example of the disadvantages of centralized planning as even refueling the car required lifting the hood, filling the tank with gasoline (only 6.5 gallons), then adding two-stroke oil and shaking it back and forth to mix. It was in production without any significant changes for nearly 30 years with 3,096,099 Trabants produced in total.
India through the eyes of photographers
This is NOT just another gallery from India. This is a collection of moments caught by some of the most famous photographers in the world. In my opinion, these pictures are not just telling stories, they are motionless theaters in which nobody enters and no one leaves.
A harsh place from which we, Westerners, don’t know much of it and if we do, we certainly don’t understand anything.

an incredible journey
An incredible journey over 4500 km through China. One year of hair growth. Infinite experience.
Take a look at Cristoph Rehage’s amazing photo trip. Each photo tells a story, each background behind Cristoph is alive.
The video editing is also great, the music is well chosen and the final question: “was it really me?” gives you an idea of how much this trip changed Cristoph Rehage.
Insight, you’ll find more details about the journey.
Anna Friel on Vanity Fair
She has dazzled audiences on both sides of the Atlantic and has been voted one of the world’s most beautiful women. Later this year she is set to transform the role of Holly Golightly in an adaptation of Breakfast at Tiffany’s at London’s Theatre Royal Haymarket. All this and she still has her Lancashire-born feet planted firmly on the ground. Vanity Fair Plus Jewelry, a special supplement to the magazine’s British edition, celebrates the talented Anna Friel by draping her in pearls. Lots and lots of lovely pearls.
