#101 Digital Holga

Nice wee project by industrial designer Saikat Biswas, a digital Holga that retains just the right amount of quirky Holga-radcore-ness. Nice one.

#066 Days with my father

It's funny how sometimes you stumble across something that is so relevant to your own life, you begin to wonder whether you're in the driving seat.

My mum's not well, I've come back to NZ to be with the fam, have already started collating her best recipe's into a wee gem of a cookbook, and my mind is filled with so many more must-do things to get down all the hilaaarious pieces of gold that make her who she is over the coming months; on top of just....hanging out.

Philip Toledano's 97 year old father had short term memory loss, after his mother passed away and him having to tell his father she'd 'gone to Paris for a while' everytime he asked where she was, he started documenting his visits.

A cute, honest, hilarious, beautifully photographed and written tribute to the last three years of a vigorously charming mans life.

#043 Marina Abramovic made me cry

Normally I can't sit still for any longer than five minutes, even watching a movie often stresses me out, unless I'm so hungover my limbs have decided to pack it in and I'm crunched into the foetal position.

This morning I stumbled across this series of portraits on tumblr Marina Abramovic made me cry, taken during Yugoslavian artist Marina Abramovic's exhibition 'The artist is present' at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC. Known for her quirky performance art installations (based on stillness, silence and endurance) Abramovic sits in silence, and invites visitors to sit opposite her for as long as they choose.

Some batshit crazy people have apparently become addicted and have returned so many times security guards know them by name. Not sure if I feel like it's crazy, or sad, that it takes an performance art installation to remind humans that sometimes you just need to stop, reflect, and god forbid maybe try and connect with another human...

#039 Backstage pass

Last month my dad got a tattoo on his arm and I was hell jealous that he'd beaten me to it, so I'm back trawling the net with tattoo's on the mind and stumbled across this real ooosh series of portraits by a Belgium artist Fab 5.

#030 Personal bubble

My family's such a hug/touch/small of back cradle kinda affair but the whole personal space bubble's still rampant and we still have issues with people who smell.

Funniest thing about Richard Renaldi's series Touching Strangers (where he approaches two or more strangers and asks them to pose for a photograph touching each other) is that you'd be forgiven for thinking a lot of these people actually knew each other...

#029 GILLES ET DADA Campaign

Awesome new shoot for GILLES ET DADA. Jay Tweedie likes.

#014 Imagine

I may or may not have gone through a stage where I revisited making forts in the lounge, after I figured out my semi circle couch was totally gagging for it.

Unfortunately I was 28.

Tim MacPherson photographically taps into that world, revisiting memories from when we had the passion to create anything from nothing.

...and manages to avoid the awkward moment where his flatmates walk in on him in his sheet hut eating cheesy mousetraps on a picnic blanket.
