It was very hard for me to narrow it down to only five of each:)


TEXT


Phil Phillips by metaphorest - I love the way metaphorest plays with words. I think this is a perfect example.


Fake Histories: The Spork by tori --- I love the Fake Histories collab and this one is my favorite. It's just so bizarre and ridiculous but is so-well written that you kinda think - huh. Maybe that could be true:)


Summer in Spain by tommacarte --- the imagery in this is gorgeous. You can actually feel the poem....


That Which Was Our Friendship by phenomenaaa --- this poem makes me feel so, so deeply. Heartbreak from love relationships ending is so often depicted in song, poem, film, etc. but we rarely see depictions of friendships ending, and that hurts just as deeply.


Her Pockets by tori -- Beautifully written and I love the way it pulls you in... not knowing why they're going through her pockets --- are they thieves --- and then the note at the end just hits you.


IMAGES


Aquatic Life image by ShanPan --- gorgeous image. ShanPan has done a lovely job of vibrantly capturing the feeling and sensation of being underwater (which is one of my favorite places to be... with scuba equipment of course:)


the hitREfractal by fractaldust --- I've never thought of math as artistic (or of math being of much use at all:) until I saw fractaldust's pieces. This is a beautiful and precise REmix.


dandelions at sunset 2 by rjdpa --- a beautiful, magical moment was captured with this photo


imagine by wirrow --- my favorite wirrow piece and one of my favorite pieces of visual art ever. The sentiment is gorgeous and the child-like way of drawing perfectly captures the idea of youthful imagination.


A Possession by MattConely --- not sure what it is about this photo but it is extremely haunting... the way the man is clutching onto the radio... it's an image that speaks volumes.

The spork was invented in March 1938. Due to a minor meltdown occuring aboard the British submarine 'Gadzooks' during dinnertime, a seemlessly ordinary fork and spoon were fused together in an u...

It was so hot that you didn’t wear clothes,
only threw the windows and the shutters

wide open and hoped for a breeze.
The nights I couldn’t sleep, even with

only a s...

Through our entire lifespan
everything reminded me of you
and everything felt perfect,
because it was you

and how could it be any less

When she died, they took her things:


necklace, watch & silver rings.


They slid them off with expertise,


then took her wallet, phone & keys.

Recordfractal
this is quite possibly the most horrifically nerdy thing ever in creation, but here goes - layla pointed out to me that RECords, LIKE FRACTALS, are methods of REpetition, so of course I just HAD to make a hitRECord fractal. but then Joe mentioned liking phi (the second-best number ever!) so I made this spiral approximate the Golden Spiral using phi (= 1.618033...) and a Golden RECtangle I constructed from scratch. I also copy-pasted and rescaled each and every one of those little RECords, no joke. I may be permanently cross-eyed now, but I hope you guys like it :)

I encountered this homeless man in Philadelphia early one morning in March of 2009. He was kind, compassionate, and only had one real possession: an old radio.

He was kind enough to be allow me to photograph him. When he asked what he should do I suggested he pick up the radio. It was the way he looked at it that will always stay with me. I gave him whatever cash I had on me at the time and never saw him again.

This picture will forever haunt me.
