I love getting things in the mail. And that’s it! All that packaging for one small, little thing. (‘Touch Base’ from Clinique in ‘Canvas’)
Writers' rooms
A neat series of photographs and stories is being done by The Guardian titled, “Writer’s rooms” (though they’ve also recently included rooms of illustrators and composers). The series offers a little peak into the world of these writers’ and artists’, both dead and living, and the spaces in which they create(d) and hone(d) their craft.
Rudyard Kipling (The Jungle Book, “The White Man’s Burden”)

Eyes on the pies
Patrons line up “like payday depositors” in a bank, waiting to drop a few nickels in a slot for favorites like baked beans and Salisbury steak, freshly made each day and kept in “post-officelike boxes.” This New York City Automat, described in the March 1942 National Geographic, was part of an East Coast chain that sold 72,000 pieces of pie a day. Inspired by German “waiterless restaurants,” Joseph V. Horn and Frank Hardart opened the first U.S. Automat in Philadelphia in 1902 and soon built an empire. But by the ’60s, other fast-food joints were luring customers; the last Manhattan outlet closed in 1991. Automats live on in Amsterdam and returned to New York in 2006 at an East Village locale. —Marc Silver

I’m a sucker for all this self-serve stuff. Especially when it involves pie. If I ever make it out to the East Coast, I will definitely make a visit to the East Village.

I love these photographs where you’re outside a window looking in. I think I want to start photographing a series of these.
Birthday pictures
I love these pictures that were taken at Bonnie Wright’s (Ginny Weasley from the Harry Potter films) 18th birthday. I love birthday and party pictures in general, especially candid ones such as these, because of the genuine happy faces you capture.
I want to take event photographs and process them similarly—I think it makes the pictures look more interesting (at least from the ones I’ve taken). And that cake looks delicious.
