And for some Romanticism to lighten the mood, I give you:

Natsumi Hayashi! I found her recently. She's a young Japanese photographer who times her camera just right to take photos that make her look like she's floating everywhere.

It's a simple idea but I like thinking it might have a deeper meaning, at least for me.

Regardless of romantic nonsense, this caught my eye considering that the "most bizarre" stuff coming out of NYC right now is fucking Tyler Shields. Great photographer, but dude, don't waste ounces of spilled human blood just to paint a huge heart. You didn't even make it a cool suicide piece with your dead body lying next to it, blood spurting from the severed vein you gashed to create the masterpiece, just a cookie-cutter (notice the word) heart.

Here is some of Hayashi's more recent work: http://www.webcooltips.com/unusual-levitation-art-photos-floating-girl-without-gravity.html
