I don’t know how many times I have fallen asleep with my face in a book, although lately I’m falling asleep with my laptop. I know I’m gonna kill it that way and have to go back to reading books before bed.
Check out this whimsical series of photos titled Get Back in Your Book from Canadian photographer Lissy Elle.

Hyper, 2007
I love these photos from French photographer Denis Darzacq. I’ve seen suspended motion photographs many times before but what makes these stand out is the supermarket and it’s vibrant color as a backdrop.

Robbie Augspurger’s Hot Mess Hipster Head Shots

Portland Oregon photographer Robbie Augspurger’s series of head shots remind me of those awkward high school photos that no one ever wants to see again. The outfits and hair styles in these shots, do resemble the hipster hot mess retro styles often seen in the Mission district of San Francisco, except the phones aren’t as cool.

There is a strange calmness I love about these photographs from Amy Stein’s Domesticated series. For anyone who lives in the American west, close to the foothills or in the mountains, there is probably sense a familiarity with some of these images.

For the Love of Damien Hirst

Tags: Fashion
This brilliant photo by Gainsbury & Whiting for designer Alexander McQueen humorously references Damien Hirst’s fetishized dead animals suspendend in formaldehyde filled vitrines. There’s a subtle irony with the deer gazing at a posthumous floating Hirst and and yet the indirect irony of this photo lies in the fact that although the artist has made a fortune off the dead, he would be even wealthier if he himself were dead. Hirst is a master a self-marketing and understands the value of the Damien Hirst brand. He was recently able to circumvent his galleries and go directly to auction with his work and the payoff was huge even with a global economy in dire straits.
