We would worry less about what others think of us if we realized how seldom they do.

All designed objects are propaganda for a certain way of life.
Sometimes we need to stop analysing the past, stop planning the future, stop figuring out precisely how we feel, stop deciding exactly what we want, and just see what happens.
We are not the same persons this year as last; nor are those we love. It is a happy chance if we, changing, continue to love a changed person.

Giz Explains: Why You Look Different in Photos Than You Do in the Mirror

Yesterday morning, you looked good. Yesterday evening, before you went out, you’re pretty sure you looked real good. So who the hell is this schlub in the Facebook album from last night, tagged with your name?

It’s a phenomenon nestled somewhere between universal annoyance and urban legend: People see something different in the mirror than they do in photographs. More often than not, the former is controlled, predictable and palatable, while the latter is an endless source of nasty little surprises.

So, why the disparity? The answer is complicated, but it boils down to this: Your eyes, your brain, [

Photographer portrays swimmers in the oil spill region

Photographer Jane Fulton Alt’s latest series is called Crude Awakening. She writes on her web site:

Living on the shores of Lake Michigan, I am acutely aware of the disastrous toll the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has taken on all forms of life, especially as our beaches opened to the 2010 swimming season. This environmental, social and economic catastrophe highlights a much larger problem that has inflicted untold suffering as we exploit the earth’s resources worldwide.

We are all responsible for leading lives that create demand for unsustainable energy. We are [

Bicycle Portraits – everyday South Africans and their bicycles. A photographic book.

The Bicycle Portraits project was initiated by Stan Engelbrecht (Cape Town, South Africa) and Nic Grobler (Johannesburg, South Africa) early in 2010. Whenever they can, together or separately, they’re on the lookout for fellow commuters, and people who use bicycles as part of their everyday work, to meet and photograph. They’re finding out who rides bicycles, why they ride bicycles, if and why they love their bicycles, and of course why so few South Africans choose bicycles as a transport option.

There is no specific range of questions asked, they’d rather just establish a conversation around the rider’s [

Walking Makes Trees Grow

The ad agency DDB China came up with this novel campaign for the China Environmental Protection Foundation. They put a canvas on the street in a busy intersection with a picture of a bare tree. Then they put sponges soaked in green paint on the sidewalk on either side of the canvas.

As people stepped in the paint and then crossed the street, the tree grew foliage.

See? Walking does make for a more verdant world.
