The Missing Link

One of my favorite sections of other blogs is the "link post." The link post says "here is a great story / item deserving to be seen on its own." The commentary is generally brief because somebody else already said it well enough.

As such, here is the first of (hopefully) many link posts: fascinating stories, amazing photos or trivia.

It is "The Missing Link" as they are links you likely missed the last time you perused the internets. Or not.

Exposure photography fascinates me. Whether seeing the stars circle above or a bifurcated highway of headlights and taillights blurring by, the exposure shot adds an element of surrealism to the ordinary.

Among the most surreal exposure artists is the Russian native and photographer Alexey Titarenko. Below are a few haunting sample photos as well as links to Titarenko's website and the site that I stumbled upon, first learning about him.
