Awareness creates understanding.

Photographer David Liittschwager turns his lens on the tiny creatures of our world, revealing them in larger-than-life detail.

You don't have to go very far afield to find something interesting and you can find (at least) 7 species in a plain old simple crack of any driveway.

Photographer David Liittschwager captures the beauty of biodiversity by placing a cube in a variety of habitats and recording whatever moves through it. 

Twelve inches by twelve inches by twelve inches, the cubic foot is a relatively tiny unit of measure compared to the whole world. With every step, we disturb and move through cubic foot after cubic foot.


"In any habitat, on the ground, in the forest canopy, or in the water, your eye is first caught by the big animals – birds, mammals, fish, butterflies. But gradually the smaller inhabitants, far more numerous, begin to eclipse them. There are the insect myriads creeping and buzzing among the weeds, the worms and unnameable creatures that squirm or scuttle for cover when you turn garden soil for planting." (Wilson)
