Heavy Bicycle Loads (10 photos)

Heavy Bicycle Loads (10 photos): "


Apparently, some people in China have never heard of U-Haul. They are, however, amazingly efficient in the way they pack and move all their inventory on a tiny little bike.



'Manufactured Totems' is a series by Alain Delorme which brilliantly portrays the pressure Shanghainese migrant workers face. Piles of products labeled “Made in China” are stacked up to produce gargantuan sculptures, symbolizing their ever-increasing fetish with objects. The vertical nature of these items echoes the incessant expansion of the urban space - constantly under construction.

Liquid Lights

Liquid Lights: "
One of the things I love about steampunk is that it blends opulence -- antiques, velvet, dark saturated colors -- with industrial roughness. These lights by Tanya Clarke are a good example -- she combines recycled plumbing pieces with hand sculpted glass drops and lights the whole thing with LEDs.




Whimsical and fun!

Banyan Tree Textures

I saw this recently felled banyan tree in a lot yesterday and decided to come back and capture some images from it. It is beautiful and I hope something good will be done with the wood from this tree.
