    The shot you see above (taken at the Oazo shopping center near Tokyo station) is part of the Flickr “Japan HDR” group. I’ve seen lots of HDR photography in the past, but never so many that come off as illustrations. Via Boing Boing.

    Artist Yasumasa Morimura has an interesting take on the art of photography: he includes himself in all of his work, recreating famous photos.
