Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day
In these instant-click digital days, it's easy to forget that a box or a can, a pinhole, a single frame of film, some sunlight, and the space of an afternoon are all anyone needs to record a photographic image. The participants in Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day haven't forgotten. On April 25, participants in 33 countries recorded 542 images with their homemade cameras, and put them online for everyone to enjoy. The fourth annual event was created simply to 'celebrate the joy of simple creativity using the medium of lensless photography.' -- Eric Larson

Biking through Chernobyl
The perfect joyride for Elena, a Ukrainian girl, on her 147 horsepower Kawasaki Ninja motorbike is to the Chernobyl 'deadzone,' north of the capital Kiev where, in the absence of people, 'nature is blooming.' Chernobyl was cemented in history when its Soviet nuclear reactor blew up in 1986, spreading deadly radiation as far away as Sweden. -- Jacob Wheeler

Inflatable Museum
Reptiles in wedding dresses, worms cuddling with each other, inflatable rooms. The inflatable museum is a gathering place for objects, performances, and environments that are resigned to instability. Artists explore the structural parameters of a virtual exhibition space by contrasting flat 'cyber' space with images of inflatability. -- Jacob Wheeler
