ScienceBlogs started a new blog with an interesting dynamic, the title of which is either a very clever use of terms or a super-geeky pun, depending on your level of causticity: Photo Synthesis.

The internet is home to a wealth of captivating science images, from the many microscopic components of a cell to the remote corners of the universe captured by Hubble. On Photo Synthesis, we aim to bring you the best of what’s out there. Every month we will feature the work of a different photoblogger, exposing worlds both small and large, familiar and exotic. We will let the power of the lens take us where we ourselves are not able to go.

And if the blog’s description wasn’t enough to get one’s interest, they invited no other than entomologist Alex Wild (or Alejandro Salvaje, as we known him south the USA border) as inaugural editor. He is not only an excellent researcher and blogger, but if you thought scientists abuse Gary Larson’s cartoons on their talks you should see what we do with Alex’s insect photographs.
