Whoa. Cool! (Pictures Edition)

Same deal as Whoa. Cool! (Video Edition):

This thread is what it says: a place to share awesome pictures! They can be your pictures, or they can be something you saw on the web. Share a project or portfolio of pictures, not singles (though a single is acceptable, it better be mighty good!) preferably.

You get bonus points if you can connect the cool thing to a tutorial or course on Tuts+.

I’ll start:

###Unpublished Black History

By Rachel L. Swarns, Darcy Eveleigh and Damien Cave of the New York Times. New images daily in February.

Nina Planck, The Real Food Cookbook
Photography by Katherine Wolkoff

I tripped over this cookbook at the library. It was on a display put together to catch your attention as you walk in. It worked. The book is gorgeous in every way: the photography (food and markets) is exquisite, the paper sensuous (a gorgeous deep matte), the printing and binding top quality, and the recipes fabulous in a “here are some suggestions and add your own inspiration” kind of way. I have always loved books and the idea of designing books. Lately, I’ve been indulging my love by learning how to design high-quality photo books. Planck’s recipe book has been great inspiration.

Coming up with the list of related tutorials and courses - there are several for this topic - makes me wonder if there isn’t an opportunity to create quick tips or “listicles” (how I hate that term) of courses and tutorials that will help you do X, and how those courses and tutorials will help.

(Related tutorials in a separate post, thanks to this crazy system that is limiting my ability to post links.)

Oooooooh, I do love a good cookbook. My dad runs a pub, so we have tons.

Plus, recipes are the original tutorials. I’m bound to love them.

PS: I think the system gives you more powers as you participate (that’s how I understand it, anyway), so that restriction should be lifted soon.

Hmmm, cool! I am trying to think of a good tutorial to go with it… maybe Bold Colours: How to Apply Colour Theory in Your Photo Compositions by @MarieGardiner? One of the tricks behind why these photos work is that the colours match, and they’re vibrant. That is very convincing.
