The NYPL now has a flickr account and has started the process of putting up bits of it’s photo collection. I’m sure this is going to be an amazing resource soon, and you can still find their fantastic library of photos online at their own site. Photo of a German Stowaway at Ellis Island.
I want a knitting head… yes a head that can knit. That seems like it would be advantageous. But since I don’t and won’t for the foreseeable future, I’ll just have to content myself with drooling over Tate Foley’s photos. The set is called Evolution is Convenient… I love the paddle head. There are 22 photos, so you should probably check the rest out if you like these as much as I do!

This guy collects lost luggage. Whenever an airline looses your luggage and then are unable to find you after a certain period of time, they auction it off for charity. This guy goes to these auctions, buys them, photographs the contents and then tries to find the owners. I had no idea that airlines did things like auction off luggage, let alone that someone does something as cool as photograph them later. 
I like the nursie uniform, heehee…
There’s an exhibition at the Kemistry Gallery with a piece “Heart” by Hennie Haworth (Illustration) and Robert Burton (Photography). It’s based on the old-school movie Metropolis but it reminds me of the movies with hand-drawn special effects (think The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe).
I found Chadwick Tyler’s photography site today. He does these amazing photos of women with these soft shadows. In his Tiberius section he manages to make them look like they just stepped off of the boat at Ellis Island into a zombie movie. Absolutely gorgeous.
