Smashed

In his series Broken Flower, Jon Shireman soaks flowers in liquid nitrogen then uses a special contraption to slam them against a wall at high speed to break them. The resulting photographs look pretty awesome. Check out the rest of his flickr stream here.

Dawn Gardner

Dawn Gardner's work reminds me of summer and I'm totally feelin it. Wouldn't those patterns look awesome on a bathing suit? I know - they totally would. While they aren't available on bathing suits (yet...), you can get them and the rest of her work as an iPhone case, laptop skin, prints, or even stationary right over here.
