Chaos is a friend of mine.

I found this photographer thanks to a mentor of mine who worked with him on a project (See: Portraits - 1:1 - #13: Thanks Miss Betty!)

A Florida native, Aaron Ansarov works mostly with Military Photojournalism. I find this pretty awesome because:


1. Every photojournalist I have ever met has been super fascinating (my favorites being those two ranbunctious gentlemen who bought me a 40 at that party. and had modest mouse shirts on, of course.)

2. Words + images = poetry upside down and sideways

3. Documenting history beautifully > documenting it carelessly.

If working for the Department of Defense isn't enough, he also just displayed his work at Art Basel. This is a pretty badass combo, especially since Art Basel happens to be one of the most inspiring and epically large art shows in the universe. Check out the (underneath Nature- Backyard Projectson the bottom left). All kinds of beautiful. Personally, Mother Nature is my favorite designer.

The following works are probably the most appropriate for my mood right now. Deconstructed, and just so painfully stunning. Bonus points: this woman is clearly my relative. Check her out: Valerie Hegarty.

Sweetest Sadnesss in Her Eyes





This is Turtle Burger and Mean Bunny. All I can really say is aside from displaying some banging photo manipulation skills, Turtle Burger is my BFF hXc. And if Turtle Burger is my biffle, Mean Bunny is definately the one and only true love of my life. Believe me, I was never a huge fan of this soulmate/in love business, but Mean Bunny showed me a world I had only dreamed of.

Lovezzzzz.
