These awesome self-portraits of 21 year-old Kyle Thompson from Chicago are magical. On his Flickr page, Thompson says, “I like taking photos in abandoned houses and empty forests”, which explains the backdrop for many of his shots.

One of my favorite (and, of course, totally unknown) fairytales involves a maid’s mother trying to drown the princess on the journey to her betrothed by throwing her mattress overboard while she’s sleeping. It doesn’t work because, unbeknown to her, the mattress is stuffed with phoenix feathers, and thus can’t sink.

Photographer Loves Math, Graphs Her Images

Here are some of the pictures the photographer named Nikki Graziano have captured. Graziano, is a math and photography student at Rochester Institute of Technology, she overlays graphs and their corresponding equations onto her carefully composed photos.

“I wanted to create something that could communicate how awesome math is, to everyone,” she says.

Graziano doesn’t go out looking for a specific function but lets one find her instead. Once she’s got an image she likes, Graziano whips up the numbers and tweaks the function until the graph it describes aligns perfectly with the photograph. See more of her Found Functions series at Nikkigraziano.com.

Math is something that I find utterly beautiful and absolutely intimidating.
