Indonesian photographer Rarindra Prakarsa conjures magical vignettes of misty rainforests, with sunbeams peaking through to illuminate his characters from behind like scenes from a fairy tale. I suspect there’s more than a little photoshopping going on here, but the result is breathtaking.

Martin Amm specializes in nature macro photography. This photo of fly beaded in morning dew (a small section of which I’ve cropped below) is my favorite shot, but you should check out his whole gallery.

David Maisel’s Library of Dust consists of photographs of copper canisters containing the cremated remains of patients at a state-run psychiatric hospital (the same one where One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest was filmed). These initially plain and utilitarian urns are now bursting with color and texture as the ashes have interacted with the metals over the decades, imparting uniqueness and personality in defiance of their anonymity.

I’ve posted some new photos on Flickr that I took on Christmas Eve. Little details, warm colors, silhouettes, backlighting… Enjoy!
