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. You can see many more photos at Live Report.

Hardworking photographer Joseph O. Holmes has been posting images daily on joe’s nyc for five years running, picking up a “Best Photojournalism” award at the Photobloggies in 2005 along the way. More recently, Holmes delved into the “quasi-private spaces people carve out of their public work lives” for his gritty Workspace series, which features the warts-and-all workbenches of mechanics, stonecutters, shoe shiners, antique restorers, and bartenders, among others.

American photographer Ryan McGinley, known for his provocative style will present a new body of work next month in Holland. While some of McGinley’s recent works covered have focused on a more simplistic black and white tone, a preview seen here takes on a more dynamic outlook which continue to embody his themes of sexuality and youth through both studio and outdoor sets. The exhibition will begin on April 9 atGalerie Gabriel Rolt. (via hypebeast)

This is a really cool project that uses the “Light Painting” photography technique to help map and capture how invisible wifi networks actually look in our every day life. They built a 4 meter high rod containing 80 LEDs with a device that measures WiFi signal strength, the stronger the signal, the more LEDs light up, and with the long exposure photos capturing the mapped signal strength, this video provides seriously cool look into what WiFi might just look like! Find out more here.
