Amazing Photos of Gargoyles and Grotesques
Choosing interesting topics to shoot is one of the obvious keys of photography, but turning interesting subjects into awesome photos is easier said than done. This selection of cool Gargoyles and Grotesques, we think, makes that transition.
As you might expect with any set of photos of Gargoyles, black and white imagery has a fairly prominent place in this set. Something about the Gothic subject matter makes it almost obligatory.

The famous snake wine
Snake wine is an alcoholic beverage that includes a whole venomous snake in the bottle. It originated in Vietnam and can be found around Southeast Asia .

Hill took ten years to assemble some of his compilations, because he had to paint and draw it all together until digital photography came to his rescue...

Tiny Plastic People

Robot Nine finds these photographs brilliant.
Enjoy 'Plastic Life'.
