Impossible worlds caught on camera

Swedish artist Erik Johansson is a master photo manipulator.
A river that shatters like glass? A dog that floats like a balloon?
These bizarre visuals may seem like magic at first glance, but they are the careful handiwork of Swedish artist Erik Johansson, who edits images to create beautifully peculiar collages.
"I create these pictures in order to find a connection between two everyday objects in an unexpected way," says Johansson.
"It's a look into another world -- one that is much like ours, but just a little bit odd and different."
A master photo manipulator, Johansson's 'Perspective Illusion' series uses photography and photo editing to bend landscapes out of proportion, twist objects beyond comprehension, and create images that depict the impossible.

In Game 1 of the NBA Finals, it wasn't Stephen Curry who led the Golden State Warriors to a 104-89 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers.
On a night when Curry scored just 11 points on 4-15 shooting, backup guard Shaun Livingston carried the Warriors off the bench, scoring 20 points on 8-10 shooting.
The 6-foot-7 Livingston, who doesn't possess Curry's gifted shooting stroke, instead punished the smaller Cavs guards, prodding his way into the paint for midrange jumpers and floaters that couldn't be blocked.
