10 Detailed Close-Ups of Animal Eyes
We’ve already featured the incredible macro photography of Suren Manvelyan before, showcasing his series on human eyes. This time we check out Suren’s masterful collection of animal eye close-ups. While this post and the one prior focus on Suren’s macro work, his talent spans to portraits, landscapes and other creative photo projects which you can see on his personal website and portfolio on Behance.
In parallel to photography Suren has been teaching physics, mathematics, projective geometry and astronomy at the Yerevan Waldorf School for the last decade. And from 1997 to 2011, he served as a scientific researcher at the Institute for Physical Research of National Academy of Sciences.
Suren received his PhD in Theoretical Physics from the Yerevan State University in 2001 where his research focused on Quantum Chaos. He received the President Award of the Republic of Armenia the following year for his research work in the field of quantum technologies. And in case you weren’t already impressed, he plays five musical instruments – guitar, cello, piano, block flute, and lyre. Be sure to check out his other work online at the links below.
*As stated on Behance. All animals are alive and were not harmed during shooting

Amazing Origami Using Only Dollar Bills
Based out of Honolulu, Hawaii, artist and designer Won Park creates incredible origami pieces using only one dollar bills. What’s most impressive about Park’s work is that he designs them as well. He’s not just following directions, he’s inventing the blueprint for these amazing designs.
A typical sheet of paper used for origami is square but we all know that bills are rectangular, adding yet another dimension to his work. As you browse the gallery below, keep in mind that these creations were made by folding. No cuts, no glue, no tape and no instructions.
Park lists his favourite band as Pink Floyd, his favourite artist as M.C. Escher and his favourite author as Shel Silverstein. His deviantART account is wildly popular and it’s where he posts all his work. Be sure to check out:http://orudorumagi11.deviantart.com/gallery/ to see his 75+ works of art.
Keep you eyes out for a planned book release in 2013 featuring some of Park’s best designs!
