UnPhotographable

Unphotoghaphable is my favorite new photography blog. It doesn't have any photos. Instead, it is a collection missed photos. Descriptions of photos that should have been. There is something even more lovely in the description of the photos than the photos themselves would have been. UnPhotographable is written by Michael David Murphy. (Found through Digital Crushes).

A Beautiful Revolution

I just came back from a trip into the mind of Andre Jordan. It was a weird and wonderful place. If you would like to take the journey for yourself check out his doodle blog, and my other favorite part of his website, the Ordinary Love Stories.

Designing The News

I'm enjoying Dave Bowker's website, Designing The News. Dave describes the site as "A series of experiments which visually explore the news in various ways to encourage new ways of seeing a predominantly text based medium." David has a cool throwing-it-out-there approach to his ideas which I appreciate.

I was attracted to his most recent visualization experiment, One Week of The Guardian: Wednesday. Each circle represents a different news category, arranged from the center outwards according to each category's total word count. His idea expands out to link the category rankings from one day to another to track a whole year's worth of news stories. This is a cool overall visualization. It reminds me a bit of the Digg Labs work, but with a rockn' retro color scheme.

Face Your Pockets

Face Your Pockets is a Russian blog that invites you to show the world what is in your pockets. Just empty your pockets onto a scanner, insert your face, and scan. The result is a strange little glimpse into people's lives. Apparently 50% of people carry a band aid in their pocket... who knew. (Found through Core 77).

Deleted Images

Are you looking through your fireworks photos this morning and wondering 'What was I thinking trying to take photos in the dark without a tripod'? Well before you hit the Delete button on those blurry, out of focus and misdirected photos, check out this new blog called Deleted Images. It's a collection of to-be-deleted images which on their own are just examples of bad photography, but together as a collection become something very artistic.

What If...

What If is one of my favorite new blog discoveries. It is a collection of random interesting ideas from the brains of Phoebe Coulton & David Goss. Some of the ideas are really good!

Indexed

I'm fascinated by Jessica Hagy's blog called Indexed. She creates charts and graphs to, as she says, make fun of some things and sense of others. Each graph tells a story, much the same way an editorial cartoon in a newspaper does. This are making me rethink my negative attitudes towards graphs and charts! (Thanks Katy)
