The Most Meta Photo Exhibit Ever
Photographer Tim Mantoani has photographed photographers with their photographs in a series entitled “Behind Photographs,” which is currently on exhibit at the ongoing Month of Photography Los Angeles event.
Go ahead, try to use photographer/photograph/photography more frequently in one sentence; I don’t think it’s possible.

This object is a billowing tower of cold gas and dust rising from a stellar nursery called the Eagle Nebula. 7,000 light-years distant from us, the soaring tower is 9.5 light-years or about 90 trillion kilometers tall. Stars in the Eagle Nebula are born in clouds of cold hydrogen gas that reside in chaotic neighbourhoods, where energy from young stars sculpts fantasy-like landscapes in the gas. The tower may be a giant incubator for those newborn stars. A torrent of ultraviolet light from a band of massive, hot, young stars [off the top of the image] is eroding the pillar. The column is silhouetted against the background glow of more distant gas. The bumps and fingers of material in the center of the tower are examples of stellar birthing areas. These regions may look small but they are roughly the size of our solar system. The blue colour at the top is from glowing oxygen, the red color in the lower region is from glowing hydrogen. This image was taken in November 2004 with the Advanced Camera for Surveys (NASA, ESA, and The Hubble Heritage Team STScI/AURA) More (see this on Google Sky) #](http://15.media.tumblr.com/mVgpnzDSyhmbpq7000VaXCMUo1_400.jpg)
