John Delaney: Kazakh Golden Eagle Nomads
This is one of my favorite photo essays of all time (at least so far), so I had to share it. John Delaney is a master darkroom printer, and you can see his printing skills in evidence here, as well as his photographic eye and his feel for cultural textures and nuances. There is a depth and richness to these, and a sense of adventure that makes me want to drop everything and get on a plane for some wild country with my camera (and then come back and spend some quality time in the darkroom). Go check out the essay, and enjoy!

Hermit Mountains: Chinese Skyscrapers
Via designboom, take a look at this interesting skyscraper design. Here's a quote from their article:
this structure draws its form from various sources including classical chinese landscape paintings of the lijiang river, the natural environment and the culture of local ethnic groups. the design goal was to find a balance between the rapid urban development and landscape protection within the city of lijang. the daily activities of the local ethnic groups, which include farming, mountaineering and meditating was taken into consideration in various aspects of the skyscraper design. this is evident in the meditation terraces, housing units, recreational parks and agricultural fields which are all housed within these structural towers.
The concept art reminds me of story boards from a sci-fi movie, and it's a fascinating take on the growing trend towards making our man-made structures fit into the natural world a little more smoothly, with fewer obvious, gaping seams.
