End credits from Kinamand, a 2005 film about a divorced plumber who marries a Chinese immigrant (this is one of those movies with scenes that are moving photographs)

A still from Lost in Translation, 2003, which has one of my favorite soundtracks

Friends of Type, via oh joy! (see also: Jessica Hische’s Buttermilk font; the first page of Veer’s type section all the time) (These remind me of a font that had a surge of popularity a little bit ago. It is swooshy and contrasty and was I believe used in some in-store M·A·C ads last year. I wonder what it’s called; the thought of it is on the tip of my tongue. eta 9/4, Memoriam)

A Desert Celebration pt. IV, inspired by Georgia O’keeffe and Alfred Stieglitz, via Once Wed

And also, going in the background: SolarBeat, via aarondeyoe, is something I wish I could put on an ipod and play ad infinitum.
