30 Stunning Photographs That Capture The World In Faces

One planet, hundreds of countries, billions of people, yet one diverse but unified world. We are surrounded by art, each face that we see is a masterpiece, the world is indeed a humongous art gallery. But seldom do we stop, examine, and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us. We shun the dark skinned, make fun of the browns and tan the whites. We create divisions and then submit to discrimination based on those divisions. But not anymore! Prepare to be exposed to an entirely different view of the people around the world. These spectacular photographs by photographer Alexander Khimushin as a part of his project "The World in Faces" will make you appreciate the diversity in cultures and unveil the beauty in it.

Aren't these portraits of ordinary yet extraordinary people around the world absolutely amazing?

 STORY BEHIND THE PROJECT
There are hundreds of unique ethnic minority groups in the world. These people are just incredible. However due to globalisation, economic hardship, wars, racism and religious discrimination, many of them are living on the edge, losing national identity, language, traditions and in many cases facing total extinction. Watching it all happening before my eyes I came up with an idea of the photo project The World in Faces.

 ABOUT THE WORLD IN FACES
The idea is simple. I want to show diversity of the world we are all living in by taking portraits of its incredible people. If we all realise how unique and amazing we, the people, are, we will care more about each other, be more tolerant to people of another ethnicity, religion and culture. I have been taking portraits for this project for the last two years and plan to continue. My dream is to take portraits of people of all ethnic minorities of the world and publish a photo book about them, raising awareness of issues they're facing today
Which tribe attracts you most ?

This top-heavy house by Japanese architect Kota Mizuishi overlooks a river in west Tokyo.Raising a house at river-front site is a dream of every architect. There was such a site. But there was trouble. The site for this house was sandwiched between a river and a street, located at a junction- hence it had a triangular shape with acute angles. A group of architects at Mizuishi Architects took up this challenge and the result was brilliant. A 29-square metre plot was made into a masterpiece in Suginami, Tokyo, in Japan.

Top 10 Most Selfish People You'll Ever Hear About

Image
There are a lot of people in the world, thank goodness, who always put others first and who go out of their way to help people in need. But what about the other end of the spectrum? What about those people who always seem to think of themselves before others, and who always take the biggest slice of cake or the last cookie? When AskReddit posted the question "What's the most selfish thing you've ever witnessed?" Some of the answers were truly shocking 1. Broken brothers. Through a mistake, my brother received a free iPod. This was during a time when they were really blowing up. I offered him $70 for it because this was how much I had saved up so far in order to buy one for myself. He said no because he could get more for it online. Fine. About a year later I was saving up for a new digital camera and he offers to sell me his because he got a new one for Christmas. I pay him $200 for it and he mails it to me (we lived in different states at the time). I get it

Is Kizomba Dance The Most Amazing Sensual Dance In The World? (Video)

Image
You must have come across a lot of dance forms. The one featured in this article - 'Kizomba Dance' is considered as the most sensual dance form across the globe all because of its uniqueness. The fascination part of this dance form comes from its exotic nature and beats. It is sort of today's salsa. Take a look at what happened at International Kizomba Flashmob in Mexico. It is usually danced in pairs but looks good in group too There are dance forms like 'Bharatanatyam' where the performer wears ethnic attire. Bharatanatyam's theoretical foundations trace to the ancient Sanskrit text Natya Shastra,its existence by 2nd century CE is noted in the ancient Tamil epic Silappatikaram, while temple sculptures of 6th to 9th century CE suggest it was a well refined performance art by mid 1st millennium CE.Bharatanatyam is quite possibly the oldest classical dance tradition of India. And then there is 'Belly Dancing' which requires a lot of belly exposure
