Nick Veasey's X-RAY photos truly are spectacular. I have some X-RAYs of my dog that I've always meant to get printed but Nick's work is a whole other level. Extraordinary.

Plenty more on Veasey's website.

I've posted about Don't Hug Me I'm Scared before. They now have an official website.

If you're a musician, you should probably watch this video from Benn Jordan. It's only 3 minutes long.

If you want to get into the weeds on this, here's Jordan talking with Top Music Attorney about what's legally going on here. It's an hour forty and I've time-jumped it to skip their opening intros.

Masha Ivashintsova died in 2000 at the age of 58 and she left behind a considerable amount of undeveloped film, which her daughter found in the attic, sorted into dated envelopes.

She got it developed and shares them on the Masha Ivashintsova Website.

I sleep at Walmart that night, but the police will continue to come as if I’m some kind of one-man crime wave.

I meant to post this last month but it slipped through the cracks. Well worth a read: My Life As a Homeless Man in America.

The author had formally written for the Boston Globe and Reuters.

My Life As a Homeless Man in America

An extraordinary firsthand account.

Toronto is one of the worst cities I know of to be a pedestrian in. It's my biggest grief about living here — how hostile the city's design, laws, and processes are unless you're in a car. I walk a lot, hours ever day, and cannot tell you how often I see drivers run red lights, ignore crosswalks, or use bike lanes as passing lanes or parking spaces. It is literally every single day if not every single walk.

There is a street near my house, Parkside Drive, which has numerous pedestrian fatalities. The speed camera on that street generates more revenue for the city than any other, yet every day people run red lights on it and the city does nothing.

Someone in Vancouver came up with this crosswalk hack, which is ingenious. We need these on every corner.

Michael Massaia's gorgeous architectural photos:

“For Xiaodan” — Early morning portraits of tenements scattered throughout New York City’s Chinatown.

He writes that, "All images are split toned and tinted Gelatin Silver prints."

I've never been a Radiohead fan, but I do quite like Marissa Nadler. Her cover of No Surprises is lovely (as are all of her covers) and this fan-made video by Kai-Duc Luong for the track perfectly captures the mood of the song:

If that mood agrees with you, you'll also dig Yelena Yemchuk's video for The Dove and the Wolf's Springtime.

And as to Radiohead covers, here's a stunning one of Creep by an Indian man and his mother:

If you enjoyed the Nadler and want more, my favorites are Ghosts & Lovers and Thinking of You.

Roger Deakins is best known as a cinematographer, but his black-and-white still photography is quite gorgeous.

Deakins also has a film-related podcast, Team Deakins, that he co-hosts with his wife James. The great thing about the podcast is how they often interview the rarely-interviewed film professionals: cinematographers, Costume Designers, VFX people, etc.

Deakins' official site is here, but the still photography is viewable as part of The Hulett Collection.

Nico Sawatzki's paintings manage to be both organic and industrial at the same time. I imagine that in person one would want to reach out and touch them.
