The Polaboy from German designers Lightboys GmbH, a wooden frame with LED lighting for enlarged photos. So cool!
Lovely Ginger Seal Pup
Via The Guardian:
The ginger fur, pink flippers and vivid blue eyes may be why this nearly blind, albino seal pup was rejected by his family and left to fend for himself. He was found by the photographer Anatoly Strakhov who spotted him hiding under some logs on Tyuleniy Island, Russia. Strakhov said: “He wasn’t playing with the other baby seals. He was just hiding and waiting for his mother to come and feed him.”
??Broken Houses
These amazing models by Tel Aviv artist Ofra Lapid are based on photographs of abandoned structures neglected by man and destroyed by weather. The photographs were found on the Internet and then used to create the scale models.

Ok, so a couple of readers of the post about the crazy baby window contraption (read here) commented that babies still hang out in these on the south side of Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
I’ve got to see this–I’ll even send a little surprise out to anyone that has pictures to share. Any takers?
Cakes by Amy Stevens
Photographer Amy Stevens celebrated her 30th birthday by buying herself a cake decorating kit, fulfilling her longtime fascination with the artistry and precision of beautifully made cakes. She dreamed of creating the perfect cake.
After many failed attempts, she realized that cake making, like any art form, requires practice and great patience. Though disappointed, she didn’t stop baking. Instead, she decided to bake cakes that were uniquely her own. The cakes are visual experiences meant to be photographed, not eaten.
The cakes are intentionally humorous, posed in front of colorful patterned fabrics (from reprodepot). The layers are often off-center, sometimes crumbled, with icing that has been applied hurriedly and obsessively.
In her own words, from Eye Buy Art:
“The Confections Series started as a response to turning 30. It was a celebration of birthdays, cake, color, pattern and obsessive absurdity. My original intent was to bake 30 birthday cakes for myself and photograph them. I didn’t quite make it to 30 cakes in time for my first show. I ordered a cake decorating kit from MarthaStewart.com and watched the instructional video that came with the package. I quickly discovered my cakes were never going to look like the ones in the video and the pamphlet, and I was free to make them as grotesque and amazing as possible–my little rebellion.”

With all of the U.S. Open drama going down this week, I thought I’d share this little gem from the past (I know this is from Wimbledon, but it’s just too cool).
