My friend Michael Forster Rothbart has a new photo project titled "Chernobyl Today" that is featured in the latest issue of zReportage, an online investigative photojournalism magazine.You may recognize some of the images from Rothbart's After Chernobyl project, but Chernobyl Today has 20 new photos in the slideshow. If you are interested in purchasing copies of Rothbart's Chernobyl photos, they are now available through Zuma Press.
I rarely post anything off topic on this website, but after watching the following videos, I had to post it. These videos are of of 24-year old Ukrainian artist Kseniya Simonova performing what is known as "sand animation."
Simonova uses a giant light box, dramatic music, her own imagination and "sand painting" skills. She first started making these types of drawings last year on the beach. She ended up on Ukraine's version of "America's Got Talent" and won the competition.
After watching this, you'll understand why - I was completely dumbstruck and speechless. Amazing and breathtaking are words that just can't accurately describe this performance.
