Today I’m loving the work of Michigan-based photographer Alicia Bock. Vintage-inspired polariods. Gritty, personal and flirty.

To All People Who Care About Animals,
In 2007, Guillermo Vargas Habacuc, a so called ‘artist’, took a dog from the streets, tied it up to a short rope attached to a wall in an art gallery, and, in the name of “art” let it slowly die of hunger and thirst. For many days, the author [...]

Look! This is Love
Come, come, whoever you are.
Wonderer, worshipper, lover of leaving.
It doesn’t matter.
Ours is not a caravan of despair.
Come, even if you have broken your vow
a thousand times.
Come, yet again, come, come.
-Rumi

I stumbled accross the sculptor Yves Lohe today, while looking for (and not finding) a particular art gallery in Cannes, France. Oddly enough, I noticed his sophisticated and whimsical pieces in a simple ”magasin de cadeau” (gift shop). Working in bronze and colored glass, the results are stunning and dream-like. His specialties lie in depicting both the human and animal form and in melding his two [...]

By far one of my favorite destinations on the web, MediaStorm produces original photo & multimedia journalism pieces of incredible subject matter. From documenting a Marine’s Iraq experience to witnesses the downward spiral of drug addicts in New York to revisiting the Chernobyl disaster – the amazing work speaks for itself.
Don’t miss Kingsley’s Crossing, a very moving [...]

Black hair
Tangled in a thousand strands.
Tangled my hair and
Tangled my tangled memories
Of our long nights of love making.

I’m totally head-over-heals for this new little London-based web company called Moo. They produce awesome, adorable “mini” cards that are half the size of normal business cards and can feature up to five different images on the back of the cards. Best yet, they’re only $20 for 100 cards. Don’t have your own cool images to showcase? [...]
