Wherever you go in the world you will find souvenirs, from replicas of famous landmarks to common sites like the yellow cab of New York. A small percentage of these souvenirs can be charming and collectable, but in my opinion the majority of them are tacky, poorly made junk.
Michael Hughes has travelled the world purchasing these souvenirs, placed them in their original situation and photographed them. Some at a glance could trick your mind to think it’s the actual landmark, where as others really do not and therefore reveal the true cheapness or maybe character of these items. Read more

Landscapes and in this case beaches are Jim Denevan’s canvases for his drawings. At low tide he spends hours creating these large scale temporary works of art, only to be washed away by the sea. Primarily based in California, Jim occasionally ventures into the Navada desert and creates illustrations similar to the famous Nazca Lines.

The clothing brand UNIQLO is the leader in Japanese casual wear. I came across this well designed calendar site a while back and having revisited and seen that they have updated the movie clips in accordance with the seasons, I though it was worth blogging.
Using clips from hundreds of cities in Japan, they have cleverly applied the now popular tilt shift effect which gives the illusion that the buildings, boats, people, etc… are miniature models. The visuals are enhanced by the big block colour calendar on the right, which colour’s change to either compliment or contrast the movie clip on the right.
Visit UNIQLO’s site to see these moorish mini movies.
