Astrologically-obsessed photographer Laurent Lavender and his graphic-artist companion Sabine Sannier have taken the most amazing photographs of silhouettes and the moon; playful, inventive photos taken on the beach in Bretagne. In 2010, they self-published what looks like a gorgeous book called
Quartier libre. The photos would have made a lovely book by themselves, but instead, the couple sent a selection of the photos to several authors of varying disciplines - poets, bloggers, photographers, astronomers, journalists, and scientists. These contributors chose a photo and sent back some to accompany it, and Sabine pulled it all together in
a truly unique book. I have seen their photos floating around the web a few times and thought they were a cool idea, but tonight when I looked at them they felt kind of magical. So in case you happen to be in the same mystical mood as I, here are a few to admire.
