Grand Theft Auto V From A Combat Photographer's Perspective
Images by cy_sperling
When it comes to the topic of video game violence, a majority of it is directed towards the Grand Theft Auto series. When you mention Grand Theft Auto, there are certain images that pop up in your mind, and one Redditor has taken it upon himself to document what he sees as a digital combat photographer. Redditor cy_sperling wanders the streets of Los Santos in passive mode to document all of the action and chaos within the game. His character sports a getup that consists of a black Media jacket and helmet, oftentimes driving a WEZL News van to pull up to a scene.
It's a pretty interesting idea and use of the platform, so check out a few of the photos that have unfolded on the streets of Los Santos.

I don't know if there is a resurgence in the popularity of LEGOS or if its just a rediscovery of a childhood toy, but they've been comig up a lot lately. Last week I posted about a website dedicated to iconic album covers pixelated with LEGOS and now it looks like someone else has created their own art composed of the popular toy. Vesa Lehtimaki has taken LEGOS and recreated several scenes from the movie Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back and it's pretty impressive. You can see by the photos that these scenes took time and that the artist paid great attention to each of the fine details.
