I dip into this website occasionally and am always fascinated at the wide range of features included at any one time. In a wide ranging sample of life from around the UK in the photographs of 'Drinking England' or 'Under Gods: Stories from Soho Road, Birmingham' or one extremely disturbing portfolio by Prix Pictet finalist Chris Jordan who has been documenting an astonishing and disturbing effect of consumer waste: discarded plastic packaging and toys inside the stomachs of thousands of dead baby albatrosses. Not something to view on an empty stomach.
