Colorful Silhouettes Collage
I’m utterly charmed by these fun colorful silhouettes from Katie Sokoler of Color Me Katie. Las summer, she shared how to create silhouettes in more interesting poses than the classic profile view of the face. Her twist on doing everything with colored paper really makes me smile. Enjoy!

Movie: Manufactured Landscapes
While we’re on the subject of great Maker-movies, I feel obliged to mention Jennifer Baichwal’s documentary Manufactured Landscapes, which is a survey of the work of Canadian photographer Edward Burtynsky, whose mรยฉtier is finding beauty in the midst of environments radically altered by human activity. If you watch no further than the first shot, you will have seen one of the most amazing takes I’ve ever seen in any movie, ever: It’s an eight minute tracking shot of a Chinese factory floor that just goes on and on and on, and you keep thinking “This place can’t be that big; this shot has to end soon.” And it doesn’t. And the images of the ship-breaking beach at Chittagong, Bangladesh, are like something out of a post-apocalyptic video game. Beautiful and frightening.

You can view more of his work here. My personal favorite is the Martian landscape made from paprika and charcoal. [via Neatorama]
