1. Romain Laurent's L'Horizon
With the prevalence of urban surf shops and the urbanite who spends his weekend with a surfboard strapped to their wagon, this beautiful series of a surfboarder in harmony and piece as he straddles his board throughout Manhattan is timely and well-executed. Romain Laurent's L'Horizon captures a peaceful calm amongst a dense urban space.

He has also had one-man shows at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Art Institute of Chicago, the George Eastman House, Rochester, and the Kunsthalle in Dusseldorf. He has received fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts. His series of exhibitions at Light Gallery in New York in the early 1970's sparked new interest in color photography and in the use of the view camera for documentary work.
Most recently, Stephen Shore has photographed a fashion story with world renowned stylist Venetia Scott for Another Magazine (Spring 06). Campaigns include Bottega Veneta S/S 06, Orange 2004/5 & Titleist 2004.

9. Ulrika Kestere - The girl with 7 horses
Once upon a time there was a girl who had 7 invisible horses. People thought she was crazy and that she in fact had 7 imaginary horses, but this was not the case. When autumn came the girl spent a whole day washing all her clothes. She hung them on a string in her garden to let the gentle autumn sun dry them. Out of nowhere, a terrible storm came and its fiercefull winds grabbed a hold of all her clothes and all seven horses (authors note: since they are invisible they obviously didn't weigh much). The girl was devestated and spent all autumn looking for each horse spread around the country, wrapped in her clothes.
