Wednesday Photography: X-rays, fire, and ice

• From the WTF Dept: Li Wei makes some eyepopping images. [Via]
• Roasting here in Vegas makes chillaxin’ with Nele Azevedo’s ice people sculptures look pretty cool.
• I’m not sure whether to file this under photography or illustration, but Josh Poehlein combines the two by scratching into the surface of his prints.  Inspired by this, Photojojo shows how to "vandalize your photos in the name of art."
• The poles of photo tech:
  • Extreme X-Rays Photography: Nick Veasey is "currently building a $200,000 studio with 35-inch-thick, lead-lined concrete walls which will let him see through almost anything." [Via]
  • Miroslav Tichy makes painterly images with his cardboard cameras.
• Images of daily life in Afghanistan make me feel very privileged–and very soft.
