To Live On by Min Jeong Seo
“The stalks these flowers are already dried up but their blossoms are preserved and kept fresh by the medical infusion bags. The life-span of every living creature is limited.The infusion bags stand for the progress in medicine and the prolongation of human life.They somehow carry an ambivalent message as they refer to both death and life an the same time. Both states are immanent here. To preserve the beauty of the flowers artifically with the help of the infusion bags points out man’s inclination to repress the fact having to die and to postpone death.”
woa.
One of the reasons why I love installations like this is that they seem to not make any sense but then you read something like this and BAM the pieces suddenly connect and everything falls into place!

This diagram contains all 26 English letters and the digits 0-9! I got it to symbolize my love of writing, the language, grammar, letters, and nerdiness! Done by Beto at Topnotch Tattoo in Elgin, IL. To see my original inspiration, and just how all the letters and numbers fit, click the photo!

Create a photo essay or comic strip about your first day on campus, or your most memorable moments from ORSEM.
On the first day of OrSem, Yel called me Ashley because he thought that was my name. It turned out to become one of my favorite memories from OrSem because I legitimately thought I didn’t meet this blockmate named Ashley. It turned out to be me.
Quick sketch and watercolour based on Flying by photographer Sachigusa Yasuda
I wish I could do this. I can’t believe that it was drawn and watercolored quickly. I can’t even draw for shit.
Also, I want to go to New York. Blue isn’t probably the best color to capture the essence of The City That Never Sleeps, but hey. It’s still fantastic.
Seeing this today in Candy’s October issue made me the happiest girl alive ♥
Being chosen to become part of the Candy family is, hands down, one of the best experiences a girl could ever ask for. A year of working for this magazine has brought me tons of amazing opportunities. One of the most amazing things about my stint over at Candy was being part of the batch that helped reinvent the magazine, turning it from tacky and corny to chic and fab. I’m happy that the magazine has finally moved on from the abusive use of awkwardly placed stars and hearts just to fill up space. I’m happy that it has become what it is now and that I played a part in making it happen.
Just a dog barking at a tree… Wait a second.
Made for threadless.com hoping it would make it for a tee print.

This is absolutely adorable.
please stop reblogging without crediting the artist (can’t believe people manually delete the name of the creator) spread the word!
This reminds me of the recent issues concerning Sotto. Intellectual property rights should be respected- plagiarism is a serious crime that shouldn’t be taken so lightly!
Here is a tribute to my double death last Thursday: a quote from Sir Tolentino, my Ph101 professor.
This is why I always bear in mind that He won’t throw anything my way that I can’t handle. 5 weeks to go and I’m pretty sure that I’ll get through it after this week’s bloodbath.
BRING IT ON, ATENEO. I’M READY.
Before the age of Photoshop, there was Philippe Halsman. His dynamic and imaginative photography broke the rules of the day by going against the soft focus style of the time and giving sharp focus to his subjects. He used both stage and darkroom techniques to produce gravity defying objects and invented new ways of interacting with subjects. His works often appeared on the cover of Life Magazine. He worked with celebrities as varied as Salvador Dali, Richard Nixon, and The Duke and Dutchess of Wales.
“Most people stiffen with self-consciousness when they pose for a photograph. Lighting and fine camera equipment are useless if the photographer cannot make them drop the mask, at least for a moment, so he can capture on his film their real, undistorted personality and character. ” — Philippe Halsman
I’d like to see how Halsman made all this possible. Adding this to my long list of favorite photo sets ever because I’m amazed that all this was done before the age of Photoshop. How I’d love to time travel and be an actual witness to the production of these gorgeous shots.

Large Framed Papercuts by Peter Callesen
For as long as I can remember, I’ve had an issue with projects that involved a lot of cutting for the main reason that I would always feel guilty about the amount of paper I would waste because I could never really figure out what to do with whatever was cut out- the negative; thus, I find this series by Callesen incredible because the use of negative space is amazing and the paper is far from wasted in these works.
