Polish photographer Marcin Ryczek captured this once in a lifetime image of a man feeding ducks from a snowy shore. Doesn’t it make you think of yin and yang?

“

The [Obama] Administration shares your desire for job creation and a strong national defense, but a Death Star isn’t on the horizon. Here are a few reasons:

+ The construction of the Death Star has been estimated to cost more than $850,000,000,000,000,000. We’re working hard to reduce the deficit, not expand it.

+ The Administration does not support blowing up planets.

+ Why would we spend countless taxpayer dollars on a Death Star with a fundamental flaw that can be exploited by a one-man starship?

““You know, equality is a myth, and for some reason, everyone accepts the fact that women don’t make as much money as men do. I don’t understand that. Why do we have to take a backseat?” she says in her film, which begins with her 2011 decision to sever her business relationship with her father. “I truly believe that women should be financially independent from their men. And let’s face it, money gives men the power to run the show. It gives men the power to define value. They define what’s sexy. And men define what’s feminine. It’s ridiculous.””

why send a thank-you text when you can send a good old-fashioned
thank-you note? the novelty alone will ensure you receive another
invitation (or gift) next year.

For the holidays, we teamed up with venerable Massachusetts-based stationer Crane
& Co. to create our own assortment of holiday notes. Our designer illustrated a chic
selection of stylish women for our sketch note card set, and our greeting card set
includes sentiments for every occasion, including Thank You, Thinking
of You, Bon Voyage and our favorite, XOXO.

Want want want. Call me old-fashioned, but I love sending stuff through the mail sometimes.

“Cities work because they create collisions between and among diverse individuals. Ideas go to cities to be born and to be spread, and the chaos that bubbles just under the surface feeds those ideas. The web, at its most effective, is a digital city, a place where access is equal and ideas race and connect and morph.”

Things I achieved yesterday:

Started Christmas shopping
Caught up with old friends
Met up with a cousin I haven’t seen in ages
Fulfilled my annual “tourist-trap” stroll up Fifth Ave.

Not bad, considering I could only get back to the city for an afternoon.

life:

More than a century after the opening of the system’s first underground line (long after elevated sections of the Interborough Rapid Transit, or IRT, system had been introduced), LIFE pays tribute to the Big Apple’s vast subway system; the army of men and women who, improbably, keep it up and running; and the intrepid souls who, every day, test their mettle and their luck in the tunnels beneath New York.

A second book of street photographer Vivian Maeier’s photos is out, and it looks promising!

Vivian Maier spent her life working as a nanny, but also spent her days shooting on the streets of Chicago. Two fans, Richard Cahan & Michael Williams scanned 20,000 negatives that were never printed before Vivian passed away!

Fantastic New Photos from Street Photographer, Vivian Maier!
