Paul Octavious - Same Hill, Different Day

For the past 2 years I have visited a beautiful mound of earth that I have come to call “the hill.” Each time I have come to the hill a new story is told to me as if the hill is my stage and the locals are the actors in this daily play.

This is wonderful.  Paul is also guest designer for this foodie set on Pictory, which, yes, will totally make you hungry.

Fournier’s work focuses on the interiors of Chinese, Russian and US space agencies - and also includes some remarkable images of astronauts training grounds that, appropriately, look completely out of this world.

Archinect:

Evolver is an architectural artefact intervening on the panorama surrounding Zermatt. It was designed and executed by a team of 2nd year students from the ALICE Studio at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland. In an effort to take full advantage of the site’s extensive and astounding views, the project sits strategically next to the lake Stelli at an altitude of 2,536 m (8,320 feet).

Very nicely photographed by Joël Tettamanti. (via ext)

Another Joël Tettamanti shot. Really liking this guy’s sense of color.

My incredibly talented friend Dru Donovan has some photos in the most recent New York Times Magazine as part of this story about California food banks.  This is her second time appearing there — this was the first (ties in nicely with the glaciers from the last post actually).  Things like this make me love the world just a little bit more.

Side note: I’ll be designing a website for Dru soon-ish.  Thinking of using the awesome-looking Cargo portfolio thingy that’s powering (and I believe founded/run by) one of my favorite blogs ever.
