Facebook removes Kendall Jones's animal corpse photos
Wide-mouthed Kendall Jones's conservation project, which one could dub: "Killing African Animals", has received the official Facebook ban hammer. In case you're wondering, this is how Kendall does the Big Five, some of which are classified as vulnerable or endangered:
“In 2008, (age 13) I took my second trip to Africa to start my Big 5 experience, but this time to South Africa. Although I had many other opportunities to shoot animals I wanted to save it for the Big 5, so the first animal I ever shot was a White Rhino with a .416 Remington!! On this trip I also took some plains game, such as impala, kudu and mountain reedbuck home.
I returned to Africa the next summer in 2009 (age 14) to finish my quest for The Big 5. This time I went on a 28 day safari and took an Elephant with a shot from a .416 Remington and finished it off with my dad’s .470 Nitro Express. Along with the elephant I also harvested a charging Cape buffalo and a huge maned lion. Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to take a leopard on this trip, so I returned 2 weeks later for another 14 day safari. This time I got my leopard, and also took down a hippo to get 6 of the Dangerous 7 at the age of 14! I was lucky enough to have all of my hunting adventures professionally videoed and put onto DVD. ”

Bon Voyage, Martin Irwin
Martin Irwin shooting a Toyota Celica in Akihabara
Today leaves my urban muse, a man that shows Tokyo in a light I never could see. Martin Irwin shoots elbows out, Sony A7r cracking in the bustle and smog of Tokyo; he is tall and built like a Leica. He is conspicuously conscious of all around him. His every move is calculated.

Henry Fong's first post on DPReview is awesome. His flickr account is even more impressive. Also, he appears to be a Fujifilm XT-1 shooter.
Thierry Cohen: cityscapes sans light pollution
Photographer and talented digital manipulator, Thierry Cohen, displays photographs depicting what today's largest cities would look like sans light pollution. The results are both breathtaking and eerily apocalyptic.

Hans Kruse's traipsing across the world begets many beautiful landscape photos like the one above. This one I found thanks to Reddit's Earthporn.

Know your lighting: Photographer Candy Yam
I follow a number of photographers, some professional and some amateur. Many of them inspire me. It's the angles they shoot, the subjects they capture, the lighting they push into a scene. Candy Yam pretty much just nails humanity. She is a master of flattering light, both soft and hard, natural and contrived. She shoots flattering angles, and weaves story into every frame she captures.
Every new project she unleashes is phenomenal.
For the gearheads out there, she is a Sony A7r user.
Children and their bedrooms →
“Some kids grow up in poverty, lacking food and sanitation, while others are born in countries where basic necessities are taken for granted. Photographer James Mollison came up with the project when he thought about his own childhood bedroom and how it reflected who he was. Where Children Sleep – a collection of stories about children from around the world told through portraits of their bedrooms – stemmed from his ideas.”
