SKEWVILLE: MYSTERY OF THE FLYING SNEAKERS
"Anyone who has ever been to New York and walked around Manhattan or any of the Burroughs would have seen a pair of wooden kicks hanging from a Con-Edison wire. Legendary street artist brothers Ad and Droo of SKEWVILLE fame are the creative minds behind these wooden-dogs...Dubbing their art 'next levelism', Skewville have gone on to hit the world's powerlines with their wooden kicks..in the words of Ad Deville Ad: they're not fake, they're just not real."

How To: DIY $10 Macro Light Tent
Jen's blog 'Picture Today' has an awesome DIY light tent...excellent for those indoor, close-up photos. She shows you how easy it is to make a light tent for under $10. Thanks to her tutorial, I just completed mine for free (I had all of the supplies & didn't need to purchase any). It's mad simple and it sure beats paying the 60+ bucks & having to deal with those butt-heads over at B&H.

Bertrand Goldberg's Prentice Women's Hospital Could Get Demo'd
Prentice Women’s Hospital
333 E. Superior St., Chicago
"This Bertrand Goldberg-designed hospital has been largely vacant since Northwestern Memorial Hospital relocated to a new structure in 2007. Ownership is expected to revert back to Northwestern University this year, when the last tenant moves out of the building. This concrete clover-leafed structure, which was built in 1975, would then likely be demolished for a new medical research facility. Although Goldberg’s organic architectural designs – such as this one – were widely influential, none of his Chicago works are protected by local landmark designation. This is the second consecutive listing of the hospital on the “Ten Most” list." Blurb was lifted from Landmarks Illinois
