Blog Updates and inspiration

For many of us, having our photo taken isn’t a big deal. Our Facebook pages are full of photos of ourselves and friends, and our instagram feeds are brimming with loved ones. Yet, for so many people across the world, having a portrait made is a unique and special event. This realization is what spurred […]

The year 2012 is over in less than 24 hours. So let’s celebrate by watching a video with every pop song that debuted this year. DJ Daniel Kim debuts the third installment in his Pop Danthology series, which mixes together 50+ pop songs and their corresponding music videos. Enjoy.

The life of Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist, activist, and professor Junot Díaz is all about discovery. Just settling into the very first pages of “Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao” or his new collection of short stories “This is How You Lose Her,” you’ll become part of a world unlike your own. His characters are so real and powerful, they almost become a […]

If you were committed to a psychiatric institution, unsure if you’d ever return to the life you knew before, what would you take with you? Upon closure of the Willard Asylum for the Chronic Insane in upstate New York in 1995, a treasure trove of suitcases were discovered in a locked attic of the facility. […]

From afar, it may just look like a wooden structure. But the closer someone gets to it, something happens, something awakens. Soon a kaleidoscope of color comes to life behind the wooden platforms, creating Coloniatecne. Taking cues from data collection and its relationship with the invisible data networks that run cities, Bios Design Collective’s installation mimic’s the “eyes […]

I’ve become obsessed. First it was Dallas Clayton (you still have a part of my heart, Dal), then it was Taylor Swift (forever and always), and now I’ve discovered Mae Chevrette. Artist, photographer, wandering road-tripper, and my new creative guru. I’ve chosen some of my favorites to share with you below, but there are so […]

We all know that snow directly translates to schools closing, sledding, and snow man building. I love it all. But you know what I love more? The intricacies of snowflakes. Seriously. And when I saw this photo blog I honestly didn’t think it was real. It also made me want to purchase a macro lens for the Cannon […]

It’s the time of year again, and we’re not afraid to get cheesy or make lists, so we’re doing both. We’ve conducted a survey of multiple staff Christmas movie favorites, and this is what we came up with. I’d like to go ahead and say I’ve included my judgements. It’s my blog post, and I’ll […]

Being an avid concert goer, a music enthusiast, and having been to my share of festivals that go from dusk to dawn (I think they call those raves), there’s nothing more exciting to me than innovation in live music experiences. In November, London’s Flat Iron Square was taken over by ML Studio’s Marcus Lyall as he […]

Imaginative, creative, and dynamic aren’t words usually associated with the stagnant-florescent-lit environments of most subway stations—or any mass transit center really. Stockholm is determined to change that. In collaboration with 150 artists, the Swedish Capitol transformed 90 of its 100 subway stations into an evolving art experience. Stretching over 68.3 miles (110 kilometers), it’s easily the largest art exhibit in […]
