Thomas Shahan and tiny wildly-beautiful beasts

[Art Mann]

Here comes some amazing arthropod photography by macrophotographer Thomas Shahan. Based in Oklahoma, US, Thomas has been taking portraitures of tiny wildly-beautiful beasts since 2007. His work has been featured in leading magazines and TV shows around the world. With a BFA in printmaking from the University of Oklahoma, he spends his spare time wandering in the wilderness finding his subjects and waiting patiently for the perfect moment to snap.

LOL, that's how I read it too! :LMAO:

Was looking forward to tiny wildly-beautiful breasts!

[RAWD]

LMAO. I was expecting tiny titties!

Bridgette - what's up with the bacon-hate?

 

[JJ Mitchell]

hey

your being a vegan is purely your choice.
and believe it or not I respect your choice.

But trust me bacon is better :wink2:

I respect vegans, too. I have very good friends who are vegan or Jain. Frankly, I found the "anti-bacon" comment to be rather offensive.

You go to your church, I'll got mine. (Mine tastes better, as Papasmerf would agree)

I am not offened by her being anti-bacon. That just means 8 pounds more each month for me :biggrin2:

 

[HOF]

The lot of you are perverts, I read beasts.:no:

It is not meant to offend anyone. It is just an ongoing joke from all the bacon lover's threads and the post counter bumper thread. It's all fun and games

Back to the topic of the thread, those are some amazing shots....I see a lot of those bugs all around my place....lots of jumping spiders and he's right, they are inquisitive little buggers.....I can't tell you how many times I've found one inside, get them to jump into my hand, they take them out on the deck and they'll just wander around the palm of my hand until I get outside...

Another good one is the hoverbee....you've seen them, they look like little airwolfs buzzing around......
