Abalone shell that came in my soup in Taiwan. Mother of pearl, growth lines and breathing holes.

I attempted at a bit of "Natural History" feel in this collage. Left top box contains not only shells but some vertibrae of sea mammal - I don't know what. Maybe dolphins, maybe sharks. Right hand top corner is a crab shell, completely washed out and clean. I love the white.

Turtle shells galore.

The shells collected from Whitby have a wonderful texture, and such subtle colours.

These AK47 shell casings were collected at crime scenes in Tijuana. The shell and bullet on the left came from an incident where a policeman was murdered. Those on the right involved the death of a drug dealer.

The Shell is the reinvention of the bookcase! This rotating unit was designed to literally delivery a "spin" to the any living space. This cool piece adds additional storage and a hint of sophistication to any space.

Kyiv's "sea" reservoir, Ukraine

Dr. Phil Nudelman and his wife, Sandra, recently donated a one-of-a-kind collection of more than 100,000 shells to the Burke Museum. It's not only incredibly beautiful but also holds great research value. Read more on our blog: bit.ly/12YJQeS

This beautiful shell is approximately 50cm from tip to tip.

Shells holding onto the beach as they lie on the remains of their friends.

These were from the last weekend I had before heading back down south to university.

All were taken on the EOS 1ds with a 70-200mm canon lens. The tide was right out by the time I had finished surfing for the day and I had finished my book so this is the product of mild boredom and intense fascination with the ocean and beach.
