lauren {elycerose} on Flickr just pointed out that aluminum foil boxes have push in tabs for holding the roll in place. This is the most amazing thing I have learned all week and I can’t believe I never noticed it before. My life is now slightly easier.
I thought these photographs of objects interacting with clouds were pretty clever. Unfortunately I can’t read the site that they are on, so I have no idea who made them or where they came from.
Colorado artist Anthony Cozzi has a small but fantastic collection of giclée prints sold under the moniker “Snowblinded”. I especially love the “Volcano” print as it reminds me of Asian woodblock prints. The rest of the prints feature great colors and texture as well in both photographic and graphic styles.

If you don’t already know the history of Haas Unica, check out this post about it on Ministry of Type.

I saw this photo of a roll of tickets for a “Retarded Children Benefit Show” and I had to post it. Apparently is was taken through the window of an abandoned movie theater. It almost looks like a photoshop, but I forget that “retarded” used to be politically correct back in the day.
I love photos of found type, especially if the photo itself is well composed. I thought I’d share a few nice ones that I’ve come across recently.
