I just came across Seb’s work on It’s Nice That:

I must say, I’m really into the new school of multimedia visual artists who blend video projections and lighting effects with still photography.

This is a leftover from awhile ago — a blog of photos taken at ‘just the right time.’ There are a bunch there.

Mind-Bending Photography From Lei Wei

Jeff — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 19:51:14 +0000

Wow. This guy’s photos are amazing. And according to the artist, none of his photos are photoshopped — all are done using wires, mirrors, scaffolding and brute force.

As a follow-up to yesterday’s post about passive-aggressive notes:

Just found this via FFFound — it’s a note left on a graffiti-ed wall of a Lower East Side school:

It’s a little hard to read b/c it’s on a bit of an angle, but it’s remarkably frank, kind and uncompromising.
