<a href="http://candychang.com/before-i-die-in-nola/" target="_blank">Candy Chang</a> lost someone she loved very much, and through her grief, over time, found clarity. She wanted a daily reminder about what really mattered - and wanted to know what the people around her cared about too - so she painted the side of an abandoned building in New Orleans with chalk paint, and stenciled "Before I die, I want to ______" on the side, so her neighbors could share their personal aspirations and reflect upon their lives. It was an experiment with tremendous results. The next day the wall was completely filled. </div>

<em>“While trying to accommodate the growing needs of an expanding, and very thirsty civilization, we are reshaping the Earth in colossal ways. In this new and powerful role over the planet, we are also capable of engineering our own demise. We have to learn to think more long-term about the consequences of what we are doing, while we are doing it. My hope is that these pictures will stimulate a process of thinking about something essential to our survival; something we often take for granted—until it’s gone.”</em></div>

The project takes us over gouged landscapes, fractal patterned delta regions, ominously coloured biomorphic shapes, rigid and rectilinear stepwells, massive circular pivot irrigation plots, aquaculture and social, cultural and ritual gatherings. Water is intermittently introduced as a victim, a partner, a protagonist, a lure, a source, an end, a threat and a pleasure.Water is also often completely absent from the pictures. Burtynsky instead focusses on the visual and physical effects of the lack of water, giving its absence an even more powerful presence.</div>

An ongoing series of portraits by photographer <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/polubeda/">PoL Úbeda Hervàs</a> who lives and works in Barcelona. He reports that the series came from changes in his life that left him unsure of who he is, but he decided to leave the shoes as a reminder that what was left was more than just a shadow. <br />

Long exposure photographs of fireflies in a forested area around Nagoya City, Japan by Yume Cyan. The bioluminescent flash of each insect results in the dotted light trails!<br />

Bubble wrap. Who can deny the satisfaction with comes from popping those little pockets of air?? No one. <br />
<br />
In an attempt to help minimize the stress caused from the tedium of waiting for a late train after a long day, Italian street artist <a href="http://www.fra-biancoshock.org/">Biancoshock</a> installed sheets of bubble wrap cut into squares labeled with the approximate amount of time it would take to pop them. Brilliant. <br />
