A selection of images from my January 2012 trip to Japan.

Amazing video by Callum Cooper for Melbourne fashion label Klezinski.

Images of the eruption of icleandic volcano Fimmvörðuháls against the northern aurura by British photographer James Appleton.

Some tremendous wildlife and landscape photography by Marsel Van Oosten.

A series of pictograms from German modernist designer Gerd Arntz.

Some wonderful microscopic videography by Austrian artist Clemens Wirth.

Wonderful thing about the net is being able to track down the people that take the pictures that make you stop and stare.

Love these macro shots by German Photographer Mierswa Kluska for the Berlin Philharmonic.

Gabriel Dawe is a Mexican/Canadian/Yankee visual artist that turns thread into something that looks like light.

Some images from Cradle Mountain National Park in Central Tasmania.

Brilliant song, brilliant montage. I think my favourite shot is probably Al Capone and all his attendants in The Untouchables at the 3:27 mark.

In what I assume must have been a marathon effort artist Aaron Hobson has combed through a few million Google Street View stills to pick out those that most resemble calendar landscapes.

Had the chance last year to visit the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) just outside of Hobart and I have to say that everything about that place is phenomenal.

Some images from a trip to the Grampians in western Victoria late last year.

Some amazing sculptures from Canadian artist Guy Laramee

Hard to know for this video whether to give the title to the film maker or the performers.

Well overdue but I really wanted to put up a few images of the set up for one of the exhibitions that was part of last year's Human Rights Arts and Film Festival.

Burtynsky is a legendary photographic artist but there's a reason I haven't featured any of his work here before.
