Cristina De Middel photo journalistic series “Afronauts” captures the narrative of Zambia’s failed attempt to put man on the moon in a dignified, triumphant light. Zambia didn’t put space boots on the moon, but these photographs show a quilted portrait of not shattered, unattained dreams, but nationalist hope and determination.

Canadian photographer Andrew B. Myers snaps pictures of the sort of quotidian stuff old people equate with fond childhood memories, from hamburgers and Popsicles to swimming pools and baseball games. The compositions are crisp and the color palette’s full of bleached-out sherbets that have a seductive, pastel-y nostalgic effect.

These aren’t pictures of the solar system, instead they are beautiful photographs of frying pans in a series called Devour by Norwegian photographer Christoper Jonassen. Like moons characterized by the “wear and tear” they encounter looping around in space, cookware is marked by its encounters with heating cycles and the occasional scour pad. (via The Fox is Black)

Ezra Shaw, a Getty Images photographer, shoots divers at the 14th FINA World Championships: “Like any event, I am always trying to get something a little different each day. We had just got a 800mm lens shipped in from London and I decided to take it over to the diving pool and see what I could get. I set up down on the pool deck for the men’s 3-meter springboard prelims. After the first diver went, I realized it was going to be much more difficult to capture the type of images I wanted because the divers were jumping so fast, and the 800mm lens was so tight. However, I started to get the hang of it, and by the end of the session, I got a handful of pictures that I really liked showing the different faces of the divers.” (The Wall Street Journal)

![If you ever find yourself 60 miles north of Vladivostok in the city of Ussuriysk, you can visit the crumbling Vozdvizhenka Air Base, where gutted planes sit in the open for trespassers to explore. Crazily enough, security’s nonexistent here.
The Ussuriysk base was home to 444th Heavy Bomber Aviation Regiment and Tupolev jets until the base was abandoned. Notes English Russia:
The regiment [existed] since July 1941. Over the years 1950-1980 Tu-4 and Tu-16 were widely used. The first Tu-22 was taken to the air in 1991. Following the war reform of 2007 many airplanes were shifted to Siberia while others were dismantled.
It’s somewhat incredible to just be able to waltz on to the premises of an air base and trot all over these once high-tech planes to your heart’s content — that hangar’s giving me flashbacks of the Željava Air Base in Bosnia-Herzegovina.
