Fusing Faces – Then and Now

These photographs done by Bobby Neel Adams may look like they are photoshopped, but they were actually done using a technique that the artist calls ‘photo surgery’.

Not just another day at the beach surfing…these are the waves your mother warned you about.

Anti-Human au Naturel

Models in the buff are painted to look like their wild animal counterparts in photographer Lennette Newell’s ‘Anti-Human’ photo exhibition. Baboons, cheetahs, elephants, and zebras are in attendance.

5 of the Creepiest Abandoned Brothels on Earth

They may look somewhat normal on the surface, but if these walls could talk, it would probably tell a tale of the creepy incestuous nature of the business that is prostitution. If you were one of the patrons that happened to dip your wick in the muddied waters of one of these fine establishments during
