As I’ve said before: Kids rule! thedailywhat: Kickass Kid of the Day: Yes, this shot is real — photographer James Morgan submitted it to this year’sNational Geographic Traveler Photo Contest: Enal, a young sea nomad, rides on the tail of a tawny nurse shark, in Sulawesi, Indonesia. Marine nomadism has almost completely disappeared in South East Asia as a result of severe marine degradation. I believe children such as Enal have stories that could prove pivotal in contemporary marine conservation. Just… wow. Our money’s on Morgan for the win. [boingboing]

Forever bad ass and iconic. life: For a LIFE feature titled “Wicked Go the Doors: An Adult’s Education by the Kings of Acid Rock,” a writer studied Morrison through his lyrics and his legendarily notorious behavior during concerts. But perhaps only pictures — like those taken by LIFE’s Yale Joel — could truly illuminate the mojo that came to define “The Lizard King.” Here, four decades after Morrison’s death in Paris, LIFE.com presents color portraits of the 24-year-old rocker/poet, plus a few previously unpublished shots of the Doors playing New York’s famed Fillmore East.

Lise Sarfati’s “She”: Portraits of Four Women

For this week’s issue, Lise Sarfati photographed the concert pianist Hélène Grimaud for D. T. Max’s Profile; earlier this year, Sarfati photographed the feminist writer Élisabeth Badinter for Jane Kramer’s Profile. “Even through Élisabeth did not like to have her photograph taken, she opened her world to me. Hélène was different: a sort of star in the sky. Right away she was more distant and enigmatic.”

Above, a selection from her forthcoming book, to be published by Twin Palms this fall. Click through to see more of Sarfati’s work: http://nyr.kr/ukU6Ob

werd. newyorker: Kahn & Selesnick Go to Mars: Here’s a new year’s resolution that I look forward to making stick: exposing myself to as much fresh photography as possible. My first attempt was attending the opening of the new Kahn & Selesnick exhibition, “Mars: Adrift on the Hourglass Sea,” at Yancey Richardson Gallery this past Thursday. I was delighted to reacquaint myself with Nicholas Kahn and Richard Selesnick’s particular way of looking at the world, or in this case, the red planet. Their new work shows an imagined Mars, its civilization fallen, its buildings abandoned, its inhabitants struggling to survive. The artists used both actual photo-mosaics from the NASA Mars Exploration Rovers and scenes from the red-rock deserts of Utah to weave together their ancient and futuristic themes. Here’s a selection.
