This photography series is called “Pencil vs. Camera!” and it kind of blows my mind. Aside from producing a series of arresting and fascinating images, photographer Ben Heine has given me something far more valuable: a reminder to look beyond the obvious and see the world in a different way.

I get really busy. Really busy. The busier I get, the less I let my brain wander and the more I look at the surface qualities of an object or a person. No matter how busy I am, however, these images remind me to let my imagination run wild and see things for what they could be, not just for what they are.
