My current fascination nowadays is looking into Lennart Nilsson's works of microphotography. Well, he has always been around the field all this time. It's just that it was only last week when I got to discover him actually. And before his book, Life (c2006), journeys its way back to our book dealer's warehouse (we only get our hands on reference books for our department), I got to examine it page by page and was awestricken photo after photo.
The thing about his work is that he is able to make us see and understand the universe invisible to us: the anatomy of life. He even has one photo of a toothbrush scraping away at bacteria in the mouth (iiiiwww!!!). But most of his earlier masterpieces deal with the evolution of life in the womb, which are flat-out awesome! Like this one:
