Photographer Trevor Christensen has a great take on the
nude portrait.Rather than getting his subjects to take off their clothes, he strips down and records his subject’s reactions.
Interestingly, the pictures below are from the start of the project, when he was photographing friends and girlfriends, but he’s looking to expand (sorry) out to photographing a wider cross-section of strangers.
A simple, clever idea that flips a convention on its head. Very nice:

NYC-based photographer Justin Bettman and stylist Gozde Eker build sets from discarded objects and furniture as part of their #setinthestreet project. After building and photographing a set, the duo leave it in situ with a note encouraging passersby to take their own pictures and upload them to Instagram with the hashtag #setinthestreet.
There’s a real charm to the contrast and interaction of the sets with the environment they’re sitting in. I like it:

Kung Fury is a totally sweet-looking 80’s-style martial arts film, with the very staid plot of a renegade cop going back in time to kill Hitler, the “Kung Fuhrer.”

Righteous:

I’m a little late to the party on this one, but the 9th November 2014 was the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall.
To celebrate the fall and commemorate those lost in its crossing, an exhibition called LIGHT LIMIT set 8000 glowing balloons along the former course of the wall.
Showing the wall coming down by releasing the balloons and having them float away (along with a personal message attached to each balloon) seems a sweetly symbolic way to celebrate the end of a divided country:

Feelers is an awesomely creepy, animal appendage typeface by Ari Weinkle. Because what I’ve been missing when writing my personal correspondence is a tentacle letters:
