Buy the The Polaroid iPhone Decal at the Photojojo Store!

It is somehow always cooler to make fancy schmancy modern possessions appear much less fancy schmancy and modern than they really are…case in point: iphone decal mimicking the front of a classic Polaroid camera.

In February 2010, photojournalist Melissa Golden visited Six Flags New Orleans. Her photographs from the assignment were then published for TIME magazine. They depict an eerily beautiful and calm apocalyptic scene of detritus, vandalism, and destruction left in the wake of the storm and the amusement park’s subsequent abandonment. But, Golden’s photos also tell another story — one of the consequences of the Recession and the government’s inability to hold corporations accountable.

Halloween has come and gone – but don’t forget about Dia De Los Muertos! The Los Angeles Times had some great coverage of some early morning celebrations!

Powerpuff Girls by Amy Stein

We hope you’re all partaking in some spooky festivities this weekend and looking as cool as these two Powerpuff Girls! The photo is by NYC-based photographer Amy Stein from her Halloween in Harlem series. A few of the images from the series are available for purchase on 20×200, which is an online art space that aims to make purchasing artwork accessible to the masses.

Detail.

OK,  so technically, it was an art installation. Artist Phoebe Washburn, who is known for creating industrial art installations collaborated with maharam on its new venture — Maharam Digital Projects. The result is a product line of  an digitally wall installations/wallpaper. In this case, an image of Ms. Washburn’s installation was photographed and turned into a digital print. I would kill for it! There’s a whole line of these wall installations — which you can view at Yellowtrace (where I found these images) — but this is my favorite!

Peeped at The Coolhunter.

I used to sneak and watch My So Called Life on MTV. I didn’t quite understand that Ricky was gay or that Jordan Catellano was supposed to be hot, but the day I heard Claire Danes say “There is something about Sunday nights that makes you want to kill yourself,” I knew this show was worthy of my 9 year old time. Even as a 4th grader I knew that Sunday nights meant Monday mornings; a day that reminds us that your boss still exists, your log-in password still works, and the dirty coffee pot in the staff kitchen will probably never see a clean spongue again. All items that were placed in a cubby on Friday and washed down with that first 5pm beer have now come wooshing back. I don’t need to explain more really, you have all seen Office Space. So, while you sit there, trying to make it through another Monday, here is something I made, to make it through as well. I give you: “goldfish sculpture on velvet chair” medium: polaroid . Hey, even if you hate it, at least you just got 4 minutes closer to closing time. Check each Monday for more!

I can bake. I’ve made successful lemon poppy seed cookies. But do I enjoy it? Eh. I would rather take the clumpy spoon into the den and watch 2 movies rather than oversee a successful tray of something sweet. Honestly, I’d pick camembert or port salut with crackers over a truffle cheesecake ice-cream pie 9 times out of 10 . However, give me a camera and a good looking piece of sugar art and I’m all on it. Which is why I like Ming Makes Cupcakes. Her photographs almost make me trade my Cheddar Goldfish in for a bite of one of her delicious cupcakes.
