I don’t consider myself to be much of a skilled photographer; usually I just take a butt-load of shots and hope a few come out well enough to share. There are some real geniuses out there pushing the boundaries of normal convention and this one definitely applies. Matthew Albanese creates painstakingly detailed small-scale models to create some beautiful landscape scenes. One of them, Paprika Mars, is made almost entirely from food. Twelve pounds of paprika! Good lord. Very awesome.

Paprika Mars. Made out of 12 pounds paprika, cinnamon, nutmeg, chili powder and charcoal.
