Quiescence by artist Henry Asencio.
A day in bed with you? Yes. An afternoon spent making out? Yes. Snogging? Yep. Giggling? Probably.
In this age of Photoshop and other tools of digital manipulation, it’s easy to cut and paste and blend elements of several photos into a seamless whole. What makes Dan Mountford‘s dreamy double exposures so impressive is that he does all of the hard work — combining two very different images into one startlingly complete picture — in camera, resorting to digital tools only when he needs to change tones, remove spots, or add lines. The gently, pleasingly surreal results include a forest projected onto a Buddha sculpture, an eye peaking out between the fingers of a hand, and a woman crowned with the singular buildings of Brighton’s Royal Pavilion.

Bang!Bang! Studio in Moscow collaborated with Russia’s largest IT company, Yandex, to create an illustrated weather app that uses illustrations from young artists across their country. Over 70 images of basic weather statuses (from rain and snow to sunny and mild) were created by these young illustrators and are now used as the backdrop for the app. As much as I love the fancy Apple weather app, this idea is great. I’d love to see all sorts of themed weather apps that let me view my daily weather report in a more creative way. Click here to check out (it’s free to download) the app online.
Most of the time you’re beautiful when you don’t intend to be.
That makes us ache for you even more.
Love the tie…
Fly me away.
There are always two glasses on my table.
Make my senses reel.

This can obstruct my views all it wants. No complaints here.

Perhaps it’s the Jew in me, but I’d like to think it’s the humanity in me that makes me appreciate this as much as I do.
Vivian Maier documented street life in the ’50s in NYC and Chicago while working as a nanny, except she never let anyone see the photos. When she died in 2009, her storage unit was sold and the picker found thousands of negatives. She was good. Really good.
