The wedding was designed by the amazingly talented bride, with the help of Amber Gustafson of Amber Events (fabulous by the way). It was photographed by Suthi Picotte .

Some of you might remember a blog I did last year, Only the Creepiest Photos Ever Taken. It was a small collection of something I?d just discovered ? Victorian mourning photography, in which the dead are posed as if they were ?just sleeping? and photographed, creating an expensive memento mori that was often the only photograph a family would have of the deceased loved one. Well, I just found something creepier. A lot creepier. It?s a sub-genre of the Victorian mourning portrait, in

Son of a cinematographer and a child therapist, Jan von Holleben must have been destined to create visually striking depictions of childhood fantasy. In his series Dreams of Flying , the photographer takes an old-fashioned approach to staging gravity-defying acrobatics. Hollenben?s work is Gondry-esque (though maybe it?s the Ghostbusters -esque picture leaving that impression) in its lo-fi sensibility, favoring D.I.Y. fun over glossy special effects trickery.

You've always got your cellphone handy, but it's not really ready to take a close-up shot. With parts recycled from an old DVD player or drive, you can craft a makeshift macro lens for your tiny camera. It turns out that the little lens inside DVD players is just about the perfect size and magnification to turn the tiny lenses of cellphone cameras into a macro tool. All you need is a drive to hack apart, a piece of stiff posterboard or plastic to mount the lens in, and a little bit of poster t
