I’ve pointed out Diastema‘s unusual photography before. She’s at it again. Her photo set, ”creamy middle” is something else. See for yourself.

Jim Goldstein’s photo above shows “an oil tanker making its way out to sea from the San Francisco Bay. In the foreground is a trail closed sign due to oil spill above Baker Beach.” See the latest about the oil spill at SFGate.

Deb Schultz posts these two photos of storefronts in London. Emotion. Optimism. Human.

Spam is an unfortunate part of our digital lives whether it comes through emails or blog comments. I’ve often thought about doing something creative with it. Others have been more motivated than me, with lots of people writing poetry based on spam. I like Linzie Hunter’s take. Her Spam One-liners is a series of experiments with hand lettering from spam subject lines. The hand drawn style re-frames the pitch and the context in a lighthearted manner. (via Dooce)

I love seeing the contents of people’s bags. I never knew so many people carried hand cream and chapstick. Cameras, yes. And mints, me too! Join the Flickr group ”What’s In Your Bag?” and post your own.

The work of graffiti artist, Banksy (Robert Banks) is bold and subversive. He’s made a name with large street stencils and graffiti in England. He’s also a successful artist selling work for thousands of pounds, but his identity has been “fiercely guarded”. Apparently, a photo has emerged that perhaps shows the artist at work according to this BBC article. Whether or not we know what he looks like isn’t important. His work is everywhere. See the Flickr Banksy group for over 4,500 photos of his street art taken by people.
