"They are very much inspired by some of the vintage travel posters of the early 20th century. These were done in association with a website in order to have them printed. That website is still working on making that a reality. I'm crossing my fingers for a quick resolve. So, for now they are just here to look at."(via Coudal)
"The boy insisted for months that he wanted to be a robot for Halloween. His sister was a robot when she was his age. We looked at various robot images on the computer and he was most intrigued by Robocop. After I showed him the trailer, there was no convincing him otherwise. He was going to be Robocop. Which was good, because Detroit has a Cancer. That Cancer is Crime ..." Part Kid, Part Machine, All Cop. (Für größere Ansicht dort auf die Fotos klicken)(via Craftzine)
"Instead of a single long exposure to record the motion of the stars as the Earth rotates on its axis, the picture is composed of 90 consecutive images, each exposure 90 seconds long. Digitally stacking the individual exposures then reconstructs the star trails. It also creates a ghostly, semi-transparent figure of the photographer who was captured standing on the beach in only one of the exposures."

"Personal project imagining a how Facebook would have looked on an old fashioned computer in 1984, using a pixelated DOS-style font and a heavy use of texture, lighting and reflection. The 'Home' screen displays various updates from users which relate to the time period. For example, note 'updated via Analog Motorola' instead of an iPhone or Blackberry."

Das Sleeper House [wurde] durch den Architekten Charles Deaton im Jahr 1963 entworfen und 1965 fertiggestellt, jedoch anschließend nicht bewohnt wurde. Es wurde durch den Film Der Schläfer von Woody Allen und seine futuristisch anmutende Architektur bekannt. Nachdem das Haus als Filmkulisse gedient hatte, verfiel es, bis der US-amerikanische Millionär Michael Dunahay es für geschätzte 5 Millionen US-Dollar kaufte und renovieren ließ. Das Interieur wurde ebenfalls komplett erneuert, passt aber in den Stil des Hauses der sechziger Jahre. Das Haus besteht aus etwa einem Dutzend Zimmern, davon fünf Badezimmer, und hat eine Gesamtwohnfläche von 700 Quadratmetern ... Das Hauptcharakteristikum wird ... durch die Wände gebildet: mit einer Ausnahme sind diese gewölbt. Das Haus ist auch unter den Namen Spaceship House, Taco House, Eyelid House und Sculptured House bekannt. Es liegt im US-Bundesstaat Colorado, etwa 40 km von Denver entfernt, auf 2600m Höhe an einem Hang der Gennessee Mountains. Das Gebäude ist als Deaton Sculptured House im National Register of Historic Places eingetragen.(via Boing Boing)
"... his affection for Twitter, wonders if there is still a mainstream media, talks about how he views America as an ex-pat living in Canada and gives some insight into where his ideas come from.

"This is a red velvet cake (with rice krispie treats for the ears) covered in fondant. i tried to get as much detail as I could. I wanted to finish the bust with fondant clothing over the neck area and covering the pan and plate but I ran out of time and fondant. Yoda was very yummy! Everyone said it was sad to cut into him, but we went to the dark side that night. :)"
