Acclaimed British photographer Joseph Ford collaborated with some of the world's leading street artists in a striking new photo series Impossible Street Art.

Photographer Joseph Ford and knitter Nina Dodd have spent 4 years working on a creative project called "Knitted Camouflage." Ford shoots portraits of subjects wearing custom, carefully hand-knit sweaters by Dodd that blend them into very, very specific locations.

Researchers at the University of California-San Diego are fine-tuning some new tiny camera technology that could dramatically boost the detail and field of view of smartphone cameras. Joseph Ford, a professor in the university's Jacob School of Engineering, describes the system in a paper to be presented next week at the Optical Society of America's annual meeting.

According to Ford, his team will soon have the system -- seen above next to a Canon 5D Mark III setup -- refined to a camera assembly with 85-megapixel resolution, 120-degree field of view and f/2 aperture, all in a package about the size of a walnut.

Aerial landscape photography and fashion photography hardly go hand-in-hand in most peoples' minds, but that might change once you've taken a look at Joseph Ford's uncanny series of Aerial mashups.
