Japanese photographer Miyoko Ihara‘s series depicting her grandmother Misao with her soulmate Fukumara are very touching. Fukumara happens to be a cat. Misao adopted this mystical fluffball after discovering those piercing two-toned eyes in her shed some years back, and the pair have been inseparable ever since. From working in the fields to reading the morning paper to (of course) their […]
Since there’s nothing newsworthy happening in the world right now except for the summertime conditions in New York City being too summery, here’re some vintage air conditioner ads.

Photographer Kirk Crippens decided to use his month-long residency at Portland’s NewSpace Center for Photography to prove that the people of Portland are more than just the crunchy-granola-progressive-living tropes portrayed on Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein’s hit show Portlandia. His cleverly meta-titled photo series Portraitlandia feature such unexpected characters as a “beard champion,” “student welder,” “traditional storyteller and consultant […]
Perhaps you’ve already seen Jeju Loveland… in your dreams. Established in 2004, South Korea’s one and only sex sculpture park boasts 140 artfully crafted, large-scale erotic sculptures. With hands-on installations like a fully functional masturbation bike and the ever popular whack-a-dick arcade game, it promises plenty of educational, interactive fun for the whole family. Lets […]
Sea creature photographer extraordinaire Alexander Semenov brings us a new Flickr set highlighting the majesty of his ever-dazzling muse, the jellyfish. This time, the jellyfish are floating in space. No, actually, Semenov shot them from below, with vibrant skies peering through remarkably clear waters. The results are surreal and resplendent. […]
