San Francisco photographer and designer Marc Javier has some beautiful images over on his new site. One of my personal favorites to date is the capturing at work of craftsman Joe, which forms part of a series of works focussing upon artisans and people knowledgeable in fields of various analog objects - those who continue to make a living working with their hands.

Javier is also on the verge of launching a new project entitled ‘miPhoneography’ where he is inviting contributors to submit images taken using their iPhone.

Javier’s photographs have a raw and honest emotion to them allowing you to totally immerse yourself within the moment in which they were captured.

Star Wars On Earth, aka The Dark Lens is a series of images by master advertisement photographer Cédric Delsaux that has been a work in progress since 2005, but is now complete.

The way Cédric Delsaux created these lovely amalgamations was to photograph a location first, then to set up action figures and models to be placed, finishing by combining the two with some fabulous computer magic.
